Every time I eat poutine, I begin to support Quebec’s indepence.
I actually prefer the regular working class poutine to this fancy one with the hollandaise sauce but the point still stands.
Vive la poutine libre!

“poutine”
What are the “cheese curds” in the dish… is there any equivalent in Central-Eastern Europe that you’re aware of?
The closes in translation I’ve found is ‘twaróg’ (white crumbly cheese a bit like solid cottage cheese and sold in various forms).
But the pictures don’t look like twaróg at all, they almost look like flan or something (apart from the color).
And what’s the sauce? A standard flour and milk gravy or something else?

It’s definitely not twarog. I make twarog at home, and it’s completely different. These Quebecois cheese curds are maybe more like the Carpathian vurda? Although it’s been a very long time since I had vurda and I might be confused.

I dont’ know that, pictures make it look a bit like chunks of mozzarella that don’t melt and turn sticky…
I guess my idea of trying to make something like it here will not come to pass….

YES! Where is your favorite spot? I have a weakness for the one on the corner of Rosemont and St Michel blvds., in the Ukrainian neighborhood. You know the place.
I have also always been convinced that one day you would support Quebec’s independence, but that conversation is for another day.
Happy US Thanksgiving too!

I very rarely get to eat any because nobody here shares my interest. The last time I had poutine was when we went together with you and N. It was years ago. Klara was in a stroller. I’m literally deprived.
A few poutine joints, some visits to cabanes a sucre – and I’d be waving the Quebec flag everywhere. :-)))

I cannot believe that this was the last time!
