but i dont have cheese curds... what are my other options?



and what type of gravy? brown?



or is it all preference?

 

NO CHEESE CURDS! It's not REALLY a poutine without cheese curds.



You can used shredded cheese if you like, but it's not the same. Nothing beats squeaky fresh cheese curds in a poutine. Gravy... whatever you like.



For anyone in the Ottawa area, this is a small poutine from Chip's and Dairy on Bank street. THIS is what a poutine should look like. It is THE BEST tasting poutine around.

 

Well the curds are really just chunks of cheese. So really just grab a bunch cheese and cut it down to little pieces or just break the cheese apart.

 

Cheese curds are un-pressed chedder



You need these to make a proper poutine

I live apx 25 - 30 mins away from the plant that makes these things. There is a store in the front where you can buy cheese curds mins after they are made. mmmmmmmmm super fresh cheese curds







Sorry, I get excited about poutine......and cheese curds. I actually have cheese curds in my fridge right now. BRB. I'm eating cheese curds. :biggrin:

 

I just watched that Muppets at the Montreal Comedy Festival and the Swedish Chef made Poutine. Made me want some.

 

I haven't had poutine in far too long. I think I need to remedy that.
