why is poutine so hard to make?

>> No.7216144

It isn't when you use the proper ingredients.

Shredded cheese is not the same thing as cheese curds.

pro tips from an authentic communist canuckistani guy who worked in the kitchen at a place that sold poutine:

>cut potato
>fry
>fry again
>have hot gravy on standby
>have squeaky-fresh white cheese curds on standby
>shake those crispy fries onto your serving apparatus
>tumble some curds onto the pile
>pour piping-hot gravy on to the mess

I remember many years ago when I first go on 4chan there was a poutine thread. I of course thought it sounded delicious and tried to make it at home. I couldn't find cheese curds anywhere (southeast US) so I just used string cheese cut up into little pieces. It tasted great but I feel it would have been 10x better with cheese curds.

You don't need pulled pork if you know what good poutine is.

I'm going to catch shit for this, but string cheese sounds like a pretty legit substitution for cheese curds. Curds are firmer, but the taste is probably pretty similar.

>> No.7218181

>>7218171
string cheese doesn't have that.. ineffible curdiness. But it's certainly a better substitute than grated mozarella

Jesus fucking Christ. How lowly do you think of Canadians? Do you really think they would be so trashy as to use canned gravy for the delicacy that is poutine? Everyone who knows the first thing about proper cooking knows that you use only the finest $0.50 dehydrated gravy packet.

Every true and righteous Canadian knows we do not put gravy on poutiine, but actual poutine sauce that comes in the can with thee chicken on it.

Too tipsy to read other replies lol

Do you live in Canada, OP? Many stores sell pre-packaged cheese curds specifically for poutine. Dunno if they sell cheese curds in America.

Brown gravy works best.

Put hot fries on plate first, throw cheese on top (Curds, or whatever you wanna substitute if curds aren't available in your area), then pour VERY HOT gravy on top. Cheese should melt.

Cheese curds are basically banned in my state. Something to do with not being real cheese from what I know.

It actually wasn't that bad. It wasn't inedible or awful tasting. Unremarkable, really. I just remember thinking french fries and cheese sounded tastier in theory. And that it was very salty. Would have rather just had the fries with ketchup and a string cheese snack later. Gravy was way too much salt.
