[@Darksquad666]

Hey guys, I’m from Québec, also working as a delivery driver for restaurant. From experience, I can tell you that, poutine, is a meal on it’s own, but also a great side. You can have poutine in pretty much every restaurant in Québec, it’s a staple food over here. It’s often ordered with burgers, hot-dogs and pizza. And the most important thing, is that the cheese curds has to come from here, it’s simply the best in Canada, and I know some fellow canadians can attest to that. But from watching many others videos where others try poutine, I’m glad you at least made a very great and fair attempt at it, the only thing I would recommend, is to let the cheese melt a little bit before you eat it, gotta love those cheesy strings ! Also, you should try the version of it called “Galvaude”. Same ingredients, fries, white cheddar cheese curds, gravy, but then, add some shredded cooked chicken and some green peas !

[@unskilled_dude3287]

As a Québecois I must say that Poutine is always better when its freshly made. In Province de Québec, fresh cheese curds are made daily and are really squicky with good taste of Cheddar! Fries must be thick and not become too soggy from the gravy. The gravy can be made from chicken or beef broth + different type of spice so every gravy bring its own signature. I ate so many bad Poutine sadly and its a dish that's really easy to miss.

Eh, I guess it depends on the overall taste of the curds or the gravy, I might add some salt, hell even pepper if I feel the gravy is average. Being from Quebec we're starting to have seen everything that can be added into a poutine to give it a new twist. But one condiment only? I do ketchip also, mostly at 3am, mustard is also pretty satisfy with a pogo on the side, sriracha sauce, not often but yeah. Anyway, as for the salt, everything is low sodium now so my firs reflex when I get a plate is to reach for the salt, can't blame him.

[@civilWARcity]

Lol love Eat More and look you gave when the big turk came up was utterly fantastic and on point 🤣

[@PopcornCoop]

It is mainly a main dish or an after dish or really anything you want, but of course we have it in restaurants

[@MsLittledream1]

Canada still has the best chocolate bars. Eatmore and Kit Kat have been 2 of my favourites since I was a little girl. 😋

[@SarahJeanCole]

I'm in Michigan but I have my enhanced license and my friends and even family sometimes drive to Canada for a weekend JUST to GET POUTINE!! It's absolutely amazing but recently I our stores started getting actual real cheese curds in a variety of flavors and used a copycat recipe to now recreate ones we get there. Lots of love from Michigan ❤️

[@bobbeatbox]

There is Michigan poutine too (a variation of italian one with meat sauce (spaghetti sauce) but more spicy) like hot dog Michigan

[@SarahJeanCole]

@@bobbeatbox kinda but not real poutine. I know what you are referring too and it's good but it's not true poutine.

[@bobbeatbox]

@@SarahJeanCole there is over 200 kind . . . But i only eat 2 (original and italian)

[@SarahJeanCole]

@@bobbeatbox dang over 200 holy cow.

[@bobbeatbox]

@@SarahJeanCole there is one with chicken and pea (hot chicken sandwich without bread) , also general tao . . . As long there is fries and cheese curds thats a poutine you can use the sauce/gravy you want and add almost anything you have in mind . . . But as you said thats not the original one (but even the original with all 3 ingrédients many places dont use the same cheese , fries or gravy) where i grew up there was like 3 cantine , 3 original poutine that are far from the same . . . Ive alway gone to the one i liked the sauce the most (even if fries was like mccain frozen one) cause the other the sauce taste was good at the first few bites then get colder or whatever and made me "sick" , 3rd place fries were the best , gravy okay but not the cheese

[@MaritimeMishMash]

Poutine is the best! It can be the main meal or a side dish ❤ The cheese cards are best if you let them get to room temperature then put them on the fries and pour really hot gravy on them so the cheese gets melty ❤ Delicious!

[@Nixter52]

Canadian here, you totally missed out on ketchup chips and Hawkins cheezies, they are amazing! Hickey Sticks so addicting! I was very entertained watching this video, thanks for trying our food!

[@MrOmegaweapon]

The thing about poutine is you can change the ingredients as you please, and add some more. The gravy could be make from Duck base or red wine base, the cheese curd can be replaced with Haloumi and such... and yeah, steak strip in a poutine is absolute delight :)

[@paulab4u2]

Currently, we have a few fast food restaurants such as Mcdonald's and Wendy's, who have added poutine on their menus but in my opinion, the quality is better in non-fast food restaurants or homemade even. Glad you like them!

[@luciphergaming6582]

The legit places here in Quebec are the "casse-croute" which is fast food. But think shack next to a gas station type place.

[@justyouraverageweirdo]

Poutine can be a side dish, just like getting fries with your burger, McDonalds here in Canada actually has that as an option. But it can also be the main meal as well and there are whole restaurants dedicated to it, (like pizza shops, but instead of pizza they serve poutine) and you can find them literally everywhere.

[@MzHunniii]

I’m Canadian and yes, I definitely love poutine. Poutine can be bought in restaurants as well. Even our McDonalds offers poutine here. Haha! Much love from Canada! 🇨🇦 🍁

[@Devilisdue1]

McDonald’s poutine is horrible tho

[@lagunabay51]

McDonalds poutine is nothing compared to the real thing. Everything is prepackaged, measured and the taste is substandard. Don't compare their poutine to the real thing.

[@biledox5576]

​@@lagunabay51disagree, it does a damn good job at 3 am 😂

[@pierrebeausoleil5885]

even cosco serve poutine

[@timgoffard]

McDonald's poutine is terrible!!!! The gravy is shiny! It looks like brown hair gel! Burger King, DQ, and Wendy's got it pretty good though. Homemade is by far the best though. It must be fresh.

[@andreboudreau6474]

Eat more bar is one of my childhood favorite. They seem to be hard to find these days though. When I do see one I buy it and plunge back into my teens.

[@jmikewalsh]

Full bonus point for trying the Hickory Sticks with the poutine. Very Canadian. Keep your stick on the ice.

[@revcheryl99]

In Canada there is a chain Smoke's Poutinerie. They have poutine 26 ways. Anything you can think of you can add to basic poutine to make it whatever you want it to be.

[@Eli-AsH]

Smokes is good, but my personal favourite chain poutine is from a&w. Fries are perfectly suited to poutine, the cheese is always totally melted and squeaky, and the gravy is great.

[@catmaxwell6691]

Another Québécois here- my friends used to bring kinder eggs on game nights. Ate the eggs, assembled the toys, & the eggs were great cat toys☺️ (And poutine is indeed, da 💣)

[@PhoebeAbayhon]

I’m from Australia & we have Kinder Eggs & we also dont understand how they deemed it a choking hazard in the US. Anyway, loved how Austin went into dad mode when he thought Cam was choking. He was ready to fish that chocolate out like he would his toddlers 😅

[@mikematson6323]

It comes down to regulations about not being allowed to have inedible things inside an edible object.

[@agunslingerwife85]

Well there is a giant plastic egg in the middle of the hollow chocolate not candy

[@c.daoust1502]

I'm from Québec also! As someone stated before, you can eat it as a main dish, or as a side dish. Not every poutine are created equal ! And I guess that it depends on each personal taste. There is a wide variety of sauce (gravy), plus you can have a wide range of poutine. (With spaghetti meat sauce instead of gravy. Or with onions, with green peppers, with smoked meat, etc)

[@lachazaroony]

The Canadian who sent you these, due to no Coffee Crisp, has been deported.

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

Their Mr Big sounds like the Australian Picnic bar. But ours isn't light or airy. Those things could knock out a baby 😂

[@laundrygoddess4]

Mr bigs are so good!

[@guylaineboyer2156]

I'm from Quebec and I have to admit that we love poutine a little too much! But for a good poutine, the cheese must be really fresh and the sauce not too liquid. My favorite is Italian poutine (the sauce is replaced by spaghetti sauce).

[@dalesacuratlx6517]

I'm Canadian and live just north of Toronto, I'm not claiming to be a poutine expert but I love it, there is so many restaurants that make it some good and some even better...sometimes a small side of poutine is good with a burger or a bigger one with Buffalo chicken is a meal on its own..great channel and great video guys 👍🍻🍟🧀

[@absolutetruthgirl]

The question should be: if you lived in canada, would you not eat kit Kat because you prefer the u.s. one. Duh. Of course you'd eat the 🇨🇦one.

[@viperatech]

Poutine can be eaten as a main... but usually accompanied by "Steamies All dressed" (in Quebec, steamed bun hotdogs with mustard and an oily colesaw/onion mix) or a hamburger of some kind. You can also slap meat on the poutine-- Montreal style deli smoked meat is a popular one... bacon.... there's even an "Italian Poutine" where the gravy is swapped out for chunky bolognese sauce and spicy sausage.

[@brydiebray5017]

Omg the kinder eggs!😂 They really are fun at every age. My kids still enjoy them in their stockings at Christmas and they're teens.

[@auroralee7451]

Shout out to your wife, that looked like a genuinely authentic poutine. 👍 And we eat it as its own meal, it is not a side dish. You can also order it in restaurants too, but homemade is usually superior.

[@ianthewhite7035]

IT MOST DEFINATELY CAN BE A SIDE DISH

[@chrisjarvis2287]

Poutine is wonderful, BW3's used to make it for years but stopped. I'm 53 and in Cincinnati and as far as I remember gravy fries with cheese have been a thing in Ohio, and tons of places sell deep fried cheese curds. You also should have tried Nanaimo Bars

[@maryanneborders9602]

Oooo yes - Nanaimo bars ! They would have gone crazy over those !

[@r_me_mom4806]

As a fellow Ohioian, the fascination with poutine just makes me scratch my head. Lol...every mom and pop diner, dive, and greasy spoon across the Midwest have been serving this for decades and decades. We just call it French fries and gravy! What makes it great is the heaping amounts of love someone's mamaw or auntie put into making that gravy from drippin's.😅

[@kjj902]

I’m from Nova Scotia, you can do poutine so many different ways. Traditional is the way you had it but you can substitute cheeses, add bacon or chicken, beef, different vegetables etc. You can substitute fries for taters as well

[@A2sdss]

If anyone is wondering what cheese curds taste like, the closest thing I would say to it would be mozzarella with a squeak when eaten.

[@NorwayMamma1]

Poutine looks so good! I need to see if I can find some cheese curds in Norway to make this. Yum! Love and hugs from Norway!

[@jayamilapersson4030]

Im from Sweden and to me cheese curds sounds like they are basicly Keso or more like mozzarella torn in pieces. Its a very mild cheese flavour.

[@shiach1959]

Cheese curds have a very squeaky feel when you eat them. Not like mozzarella.

[@melm9404]

Poutine is amazing! I grew up thinking it was food that other countries had as well. You can get it at pretty much all major restaurants and many fast food restaurants. And there are fast food restaurants that are just poutines.

[@ehmelynn]

Pulled pork poutine is my fav! It’s exactly what it sounds like… the usual fries … cheese curds and gravy with a huge portion of pulled pork on top mmmmmmm!!! So many things taste different here in Canada than in the US…. Our McDonald’s, Taco Bell, KFC etc all taste way different! You guys need to take the show on the road!! ❤️❤️

[@timgoffard]

I tried KFC in Kentucky. I'm Canadian and have to ask what kind of steroid-laden, pumped-up franken-chickens do you guys have down there?, lol! I ordered a two piece and couldn't finish it! The chicken breasts were double the size! I'm an obese man and could only eat one piece!

[@briancurrie2897]

As a Canadian when I make mine at home I put it in a Pyrex and stick it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese curds brown on top.

[@lonewhitewolf7772]

A Wunderbar with a strong coffee is awesome ! Besides Poutine there is also something called Newfie Fries which is Poutine with chicken or sausage or stuffing plus many other variations added to them .

[@Wytch1]

Wunderbar is my absolute favourite chocolate bar!! And of course, as a Canadian, I’m addicted to poutine!

[@Jenn_Eagleson]

Canadian Here! Poutine (Pronounced Poo-Tin) is available as a Meal in itself or a side dish, several restaurants serve it and our their variations of it. I often make it myself at home. There is a lot of people who will say it’s not Poutine if you don’t use Curds but I’ve also had it with shredded mozzarella and it’s delightful! You guys definitely need to try AUTHENTIC poutine up here in Canada. It will change your lives!

[@versasys]

isn't PooTin the president of Russia?

[@sdbelland]

Any chance Men Try is going back out to try stuff? These taste tries are fun, but so are your other tries. Variety 😊

[@McAuslan19]

im born in Quebec as what we call here pure laine. And yes we can have a big whole poutine and a nice Pepsi! and we can have a hot dog with it.. its a fast food tradition here. Even Mcdonald serve poutine here! it is also mixed with some Smoked meat if you want or some sausages. and we also have the italian version and add some spaghetti sauce instead of the garvy! you should come here and try! you will not regrets it!!!

[@itsjustmama]

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the laughs and making this heart smile!!!

[@lindsayweetman308]

I'm Canadian and yes they have them in restaurants. I have seen whole restaurants dedicated to poutine and untraditional flavors and yes you can have them either as a side dish or as the meal.

[@nina-marie]

I'm a Quebecer too 😊 & I was ASTONISHED to hear that Your version of "Kit Kat" tastes less better than Ours & the fact that you Don't have "Hickory Sticks" ... I'm 😵‍💫 SHOCKED !!! Finally, you haven't LIVED until you've had a "Poutine" at least Once in your life !!! Thanks Aye (😏) ... For Sharing Your Thoughts & You're Always Very Welcome To Our Very Beautiful Country 🇨🇦 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@tristenevillanyibokor626]

C’est pas aye, C’est “eh” lol

[@anikahonaker5712]

I love these guys. I do miss them going and trying things. I think they would be hilarious doing the things the impractical jokers do. I dont think Austin would be able to keep from laughing.

[@belle83773]

I’m glad you guys got to try food from the country I’m from! I’m also glad you guys liked ‘em!

[@elihollett]

Canadian here: If I said all of the things you can do with poutine, my account would get flagged haha. Love the video!

[@catherineg80]

In the UK poutine is called cheesy chips and gravy (beef gravy and cheddar cheese) and we have it often with mushy peas on top 😍.

[@shiach1959]

Poutine has to have cheese curds. Nice and squeaky !

[@denisegreene8441]

Not shredded cheese it.has to be fresh cheese Curds and hot thick gravy to start melting the curds to the fries

[@catherineg80]

Not in the UK. It's just melted cheddar cheese with gravy on. We do it the simpler way 🤣
