Civilian here: any that are of reasonable price for a Newfoundlander to get ahold of on a budget? Perhaps a pizza or pancake menu offering?

[@XH1927]

It'd probably be different if I was a soldier and living on the things, but back when Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis were still airing new episodes, I used to take great joy in grabbing an MRE out of a case I picked up at a gunshow and enjoying it over the course of the two hours of watching my favorite military sci-fi shows. There were very few components I found that a found unpalatable enough to throw them away, and that was that early 2000s which was a pretty transitional time for the US MRE. and given that I was just buying whatever at whatever gun show I went to, I got a huge variety of shit that ranged from modern to "probably too old to actually be eating but I didn't know any better". I always regarded the tiny bottles of Tabasco as a symbol of quality, perhaps wrongly in a lot of cases.

The rubbery thing you ate was definitely a cheese curd. As a Canadian, I strongly urge you to have some real poutine sometime. Fries are supposed to be crispy, the curds are supposed to be melty and creamy and the gravy is not supposed to be a soupy mess that drowns everything. Kind of shocking that they even attempted to rationalize ;) a classic like poutine.

[@decimation9780]

Proper poutine is supposed to be basically drowned in gravy. Granted it shouldn’t have the consistency of soup, it should be a lot thicker, halfway between soup and yogurt, leaning more towards yogurt in terms of viscosity and thickness. Definitely not light brown gravy though, either brown or dark brown, you want that beefy flavour in there with the cheese and potatoes.

for the French fries with the poutine , thats what happens when the fries soak in the gravy , it changes the flavor and as a freshness indicator FUN FACT you can tell by the flavor of the fries if the poutine was made fresh that minute or has sat as maybe part of a large batch. come to Canada for the poutine .

[@LeoMidori]

I've heard Canadian rations are the best, and I'm happy to see that our home cooked stuff is to your liking! Everything looks genuinely edible and good, aside from that disaster of a chicken stew they called poutine. Unfortunate, and somehow I had a feeling it'd be one of the worst ones. I think the best way they could fake poutine would be if they could keep potatoes a little bit firm, in oblong cubes, and the cheese was a somewhat dry shredded (a sin I know, don't razz me) white cheddar, and they had a very very thick gravy. So again it'd be a lot like a stew as opposed to a poutine, but I can't imagine how they'd make the potatoes actually crisp for the field. Cheers from Ontario.

It's a massive failure as far as i'm concerned. Reason being that fries soak up liquids. Even the greasiest of fries will take some on board, so to have them in that runny sauce, yeah, ain't cutting it.

[@TheJohn8765]

Steve mentioned they weren't even fried-- more like just baked potatoes cut into fries. Fail. You're right about the storage. You'd need to keep them separate from the "gravy" (or whatever the hell that runny mess was) to have a chance of still having a fried item stay crunchy. Then again, Baxter's isn't exactly synonymous with high-quality in Canada, so I suspect they probably can't make a good poutine to save their life.

Peanut butter burritos are a popular meal among American hobos. Tortillas don't take up a lot of space in your pack, a jar of peanut butter lasts forever & it's easy to make on a moving train.

I mean, at the end of the day it's an IMP. Doesn't matter what year it was made. Wouldn't have enjoyed it more or less. They're just whatever. Except for the hasbrowns and bacon. Mmmm mmm good.

Unless you live in Canada, making your own poutine is your best bet. Just make some fries, top it with some cheese curd, and then drizzle some brown gravy on it.

[@TheMorriganLeFay]

TheMorriganLeFay Yes, i would like to hear the answer to that, i really want to try Poutine.

[@christianempire3909]

Buy some frozen french fries, bake them in the oven, then grate some mozzarella on top, wait a minute or two for it to melt, then add some canned gravy on top. I buy cheese curds at Costco, btw.

[@mikerowsdower9896]

You SHOULD be able to get curds at any gourmet food place or cheese shop. Maybe even bigger grocery stores. Here in Texas HEB carries them.

"I hope the poutine lives up to its name because if it does, it would NICE" He did it! He did the thing! - Peter griffin

[@MisshapenHeart]

That is definitely not traditional poutine. I imagine that the fries were the way that they were because they were soaking in gravy for so long. I'm also not sure why chicken was added. I don't know where you could get some good poutine but it's easy enough to make. Just get some store bought cheese curd, make/buy some gravy, deep fry some french fries, spread the curds over the fries and pour the gravy over top of it all. It's not a complicated meal but it can be very delicious if made just right.

[@olicool476]

do they really sell onion ring poutine at burger kings up there??? What they serve at truckstops looks like the same thing he poured out of the pouch.

[@dustinalexander157]

Wannabe Amputee It's not supposed to be traditional poutine? These are portable meals for military men, they don't have the time or the resources to deep fry french fries on the battlefield.

[@alucardtepes4420]

Idk about prison but jail stuff for the most part is awful can’t even properly boil your ramen.. the instant chili is very nice though would deff by in regular life if I could find it. I bet the instant red beans and rice was good too , but it was never in stock

[@TheJohn8765]

That's not poutine. Like, not even a little bit. The real problem with getting "real" poutine is the cheese curds. They should be *so* fresh they squeak when you bite into them. They don't store well at all-- even a few days of being shipped is enough to degrade their squeak. And the gravy should be thick, not like soup. It's a simple, hearty food that doesn't need embellishment: good quality french fries, good quality, thick gravy, and fresh cheese curds. That's it. If you want some "real" cheese curds, look to your local cheese makers-- they might make them and they def need to be super fresh. Good luck getting that unless you live in an area with a tradition of making cheese. Nice review, though. Sorry about the poutine, eh?

[@ryanjohnson-wv1zg]

The cheese curd enthusiast strikes again lol.

[@m0rquiepoo]

ryan johnson Bruv, we have to take poutine and all of its ingredients very seriously. It's 3 ingredients and when the quality of 1 is bad, the whole thing is rubbish.

[@Catoma]

TheJohn8765 Yep, personally I love the dark gravy a local chip truck puts on theirs, amazing fresh St. Albert cheese curds, best during autumn and spring. Makes a venture into the cold worth it.

[@m0rquiepoo]

Canada's rations look amazing, well thought out packing and providers for the food . Only thing you could criticise is the packaging size, but you could "strip" them. MOD could learn a lot, start using some of the British companies above instead of the outsourced cheap muck they put in MRE's now.

I’m an Alberta,( for those of you who don’t know, that’s a province in Canada.) I usually go to my local ski hill and get a great poutine, and out of every poutine I’ve ever had, none have looked as soggy as that pile.... it’s all about the crispy fries and the squeaky, rubber-like cheese curds, and a warm, thick layer of gravy.

[@jonsmithsmith6452]

Let's get this on a tray. Nice!

[@zukodude487987]

Couldn't they just use McDonalds french fries for the poutine? I mean they can last for years even without packaging and just keep the gravy and cheese in a separate container to prevent soggyness.
