Surely there were already maple glazed doughnuts at Tim's in the States though, right? right? The poutine doughnut could be okay if the sauce wasn't too sweet.. I think. Doesn't look great though.

Poutine is not Canadian, it is Quebecois, loving hell. Poutine would be impossible to create in the culinary wasteland that is Canada, where the height of cuisine is still motherfucking Swiss Chalet.

I am upset at this cultural appropriation.

Just wait until you find out what the poutineries out here have been doing to your sacred dish! My favourite is Mexican style. Poutine with jalapenos, shredded steak, loose corn, and fresh salsa. Yes please.

I challenge not on questions of deliciousness. I've had delicious "poutines" made with guacamole (resembling carne asade fries more than anything else). I argue merely that my homeland is forgotten constantly amid the Poutine Mania which has seized us all.

Quebec is just the lovely part of Canada, it's included in the "Canadian" umbrella.

This is mango Salsagheti. The gummy "pasta" is orange instead of pink or yellow like the other flavors.



Pop it open, you got a little pile of gummy noodles and a packet of "Gusano," a salty-sour tamarind sauce.



Cover the noodles with brown tamarind spooge from the packet and devour!



I also got a box of piña-tamarindo and one of sandia (watermelon) and I plan to eat every last one. Nobody else around here likes em anyway.

Good lord, I'd wither and die without garlic. And here I was having such a good day. Now I'm sad out of sympathy for another allergy-haver

Avocados won't kill me but they make me wish they did if I eat even a little bit. I got a weird draw in the genetic lottery: can't eat avocados, can't take one specific medication used to treat pancreatitis (figuring that one out almost killed me earlier this year, yay), and can't smoke pot.

Our designer has a cruel sense of humor, that's for sure.

I don't know how much Mexican stuff you'll find in Spain. When I was in Barcelona people would laugh at you for even mentioning Mexico. I was constantly apologizing porque aprendío todo mi español en Tejas por mis pacientes mexicanos en la hospital, and people would literally cackle at me.

I also got laughed at because at one point I told a waitress I was embarrassed and she explained that "embarazada" actually means pregnant. So I was triple embarrassed. I was also pregnant for real but I didn't know yet as the kid had just been conceived.

Every time I meet someone who can't eat a thing I like, I *almost* do the "OH I WOULD DIE IF I COULDN'T EAT [whatever]" and then I realize I am that person to everyone else and it's really not that bad. Inconvenient and kinda sucky, but we all get by and learn to cope.

I heard (maybe in this thread) that poutine was initially a mashed potato crust with beef and cheese; is that true and does anyone have a recipe?

Schubalts posted:

That's shepherd's pie. Cooked meat and vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes (and sometimes cheese) and baked until the potatoes get crispy.

Even if they could fix my dish soap gene, I'm still allergic to avocado, so no guac for me anyway.

I was bummed for a bit when I discovered the allergy, but then I remembered that some people are allergic to tomatoes and garlic. And some people even get that tick bite that makes you allergic to meat. An avocado allergy is nothing compared to not being able to eat spaghetti and meatballs

Fleta Mcgurn posted:

I know what poutine and shepherd's pie are (incidentally, the latter is a cottage pie when made with beef IIRC) but I guess I'm asking about the origin of poutine. I read that bit about the tatercrust origins last week and was just wondering if anyone else knew poutine's origin story.

Also I don't really like poutine.

Wikipedia posted:

The dish is thought to have originated in rural Quebec in the late 1950s, and several provincial communities claim to be the birthplace of poutine, including Drummondville (by Jean-Paul Roy in 1964) Princeville and Victoriaville.

One often-cited tale is that of Warwick restaurateur Fernand Lachance of Le Café Ideal, who is said in 1957 to have exclaimed, "ça va faire une maudite poutine!" ("It will make a drat mess!") when asked by restaurant regular Eddy Lainesse to put a handful of cheese curds on some french fries, hence the name. The sauce was allegedly added later, to keep the fries warm longer. Over time, the dish's popularity spread across the province (and later throughout Canada), being served in small-town restaurants and bars, as well as becoming quite popular in ski resorts and sports arenas.

Whenever I turn down an offer for a hit from the bowl and have to leave the room, people get irrationally irritated and start machine-gunning questions just like that: "Can you vape? What about brownies? You sure it wasn't just laced with something when you got sick the first time?" Explaining that it's medically verified doesn't convince them, and they keep asking the same questions over and over.

In short, I'm sorry for being "that guy," (but honestly I really would be bummed if I couldn't eat garlic) and I get where you're coming from. Does it suck not to be able to eat guac? Eh, not as bad as a kick to the groin sucks.
