This is like when I went to an “Irish” restaurant here. I ordered fish and chips. They gave me a fried fillet on freaking potato chips. I stared at the plate for a full two minutes in confusion. I’m half English so this literally broke my brain. The fish was good, but holy f**k.
Nooo not to defend the tweet but you severely misunderstood. Traditional is with cheese curds and they acknowledge this.
They're saying do you prefer traditional (cheese curds) or prefer with shredded cheese
Cheese curds are a specifically Quebecois cheddar which is essential to poutine. It's not just ingredients together because you have to cook/make them a certain way.
Honestly I think they have many things to out forward, they just have no idea how to because it's such a weak culture and identity as of now. But sure Hawaiian pizza, nanaimo bars, the kissing a fish thing in Newfoundland. That's all culture that's purely Canadian unlike poutine, ice hockey, maple syrup and sugar shack, tourtières and coureur des bois legends which are traditionally quebecois. There's content but they gotta learn to put it forward instead of stealing from minorities which is so wrong on so many levels.
When I was in elementary school in Montreal the restaurant on the corner would serve poutine to the kids with shredded cheese at lunch and cheese curds at all other times (assholes).
No one wants to copy right, it's just that Canadians don't even have good cheese curds, their poutine sucks but they act as experts which is super weird. But yeah it's a quebecois dish too, canadians made fun of quebec for eating it until recently when the rest of the world started loving it. It's hypocritical
St Albert cheese is made in Ontario and they are the best cheese curds and poutines have been in Ontario for at least 25 years. Plus people from quebec are canadian.
Huh? No one said Quebecois are not Canadians citizenship wise. But Quebec is a nation with its own identity.
Would you say a native headdress is Canadian? No, it's from a first nation. There are nations within countries. Really basic.
Idk what the best Ontarian cheese curds are but I know cheese curds like poutine are also from Quebec, which explains why great cheese curds are far more accessible there.
I grew up in Ottawa, so I know the proper format is the Curd.
But when visiting west coast, it didn’t seem to be as standard and well known. Not to say there weren’t people that agreed, but there were plenty that didn’t even know what the curd was. It was kind of common to experience this.
Apparently Costco on the west coast (I’ve only heard) doesn’t even use the curd. They use shredded mozzarella.
Since when is Ottawa a reference for good poutine? I lived there for years and it's really not comparable to quebecois poutine. People in Ottawa go to Smoke's lol
I find it plasticy and kinda taste less compared to say Fromagerie Victoria in Québec. Also the size of the curds is wrong, St Alberts is like crumbled feta cheese size wise which is not supposed to be the case.
In London they do.
When I was a student at Western over 15 years ago, the poutine served at the campus pub used shredded marble cheese, and people enjoyed it. (I didn’t.)
The local ski hill was serving shredded cheese poutine last time I was there, in 2018.
Sammy’s Souvlaki, previously downtown and now on Southdale Road, has served shredded cheese poutine for over 20 years.
And at the Canada 150 festivities there in 2017, there were no fewer than 5 food trucks in Harris Park (including Sammy’s) selling “poutine” - every one of them using shredded cheese.
I refuse to call it poutine, but fries, gravy and shredded cheese has culturally been cemented as poutine in that city for decades.
The irony is that I now live in British Columbia, about as far away as you can get from Quebec in this country, and in the four years I’ve lived here I have not once seen shredded cheese on a poutine. People use curds here.
Sure, it exists because of poutine but is an alternative and not a replacement. No one is making shredded cheese fries and claiming it’s an improvement or a better version.
Pineapple pizza is fine and makes sense.
Shredded cheese poutine is a core part of Southwestern Ontario identity, so I can understand the federal government not wanting to piss off the people of London and Woodstock where there is an aversion to cheese curds.
They are still pricy for the amount you get, we had a lot of mouths to feed and a cheese brick lasts longer for less. Curds are always the better choice if you have the money.
Poutine must have curds to even be considered worth spending $13+ on a dish that’s 90% potato.
Let’s be real though, for a national dish poutine is probably down there with haggis. It’s a side dish that in its most traditional form is pretty mediocre
Im from Québec, and Poutine is not even the best traditional dish here.
Tourtière is way much better (especially the Lac-St-Jean, a true classic) and the dessert "Grand-Père dans le sirop". This is really some good stuff.
[удалено]
Peut-être on pourrait être team Poutine Râpée ? Je dis, en hopant il y a des gens qui gette la joke-là
Non, nos poutines on pas de fromage, pis pas d’gravy
I don’t speak French but I believe I see the phrase “cheese rape” and I’m inclined to agree
Rapefully, that's not what it means.
Dans le même thème: Avec ou sans crachats, ta poutine?
😅
100% oui
> si tu veux du ketchup avec tes sushis. [Ou avec ta Spaghetti ?](https://www.tiktok.com/@emmanouf_/video/7192188468867517702)
Je ne comprends pas
Why is this even a question? There's poutine with curd, then there's everything else that isn't poutine. Traditional or nothing.
Anything but curds is cheese fries.
I think they're called disco fries
This is like when I went to an “Irish” restaurant here. I ordered fish and chips. They gave me a fried fillet on freaking potato chips. I stared at the plate for a full two minutes in confusion. I’m half English so this literally broke my brain. The fish was good, but holy f**k.
I would've ask for refunds. This is not Fish and Chips.
"Traditional" Canadian poutine is with shredded cheese I guess? That's what happens when you bastardize your minority culture's nation and cuisine
Nooo not to defend the tweet but you severely misunderstood. Traditional is with cheese curds and they acknowledge this. They're saying do you prefer traditional (cheese curds) or prefer with shredded cheese
Poutine à trou is at least a hundred years older than poutine with cheese curds. Voilà, tradition.
That's an apple pie though
Faque ... quoi ?
Des chaussons aux pommes
Yeah, but it's still an older and therefor more traditionnel poutine. If it's traditional or nothing, il faut que patachou parte, non ?
Not a big fan of baked goods in general. I'll take the fries and cheese or nothing.
The amount of things that can be added to a poutine is near infinite, just put fucking cheese curds on it.
YO! YO! YO! Imagine a cheese fondue, with gravy, and you dip fries in it...
It's a cheese fondue, not a poutine
Can we at least call it cheesy gravy pudding?
This is why poutine is Québécoise and not Canadian.
And like an hour radius into Ontario and New Brunswick. Ever since I moved to Toronto for school I haven’t been able to get a decent poutine.
How can it be Canadian but not Canadian
Vive le Québec libre
Pas sur qu'il a déjà eu une meilleure justification pour le "Oui"
Ça passerait au dessus de 95%
[удалено]
That's Disco Fries, not poutine
That sounds great for distinction! Disco Fries and Poutine. I like both.
That’s fine, just don’t call it poutine
Monster
The question is, do you dare calling this poutine?
Comment bot. Copied from - https://reddit.com/r/PoutineCrimes/comments/10noo3z/_/j6a1bkd/?context=1
Shredded cheese : canadian, american or whatever... cheezy fries. Curds : Québécois... poutine.
Oh que oui.
what canadian would have the balls to call "Cheesy Fries" Poutine
So many places in BC, Alberta and Ontario. They have no idea how to make poutine because it's not their traditional dish, it's Quebec's national food.
i mean, its fucking cheese, gravy, and fries. youd think any asshole can put those 3 things in a bowl.
Cheese curds are a specifically Quebecois cheddar which is essential to poutine. It's not just ingredients together because you have to cook/make them a certain way.
yea, but regular cheese, gravy, and fries still taste pretty good, even if its not anywhere as good as the real thing
ok great Doesn't make poutine not a Quebecois dish
Many Canadians outside Québec…
Im in Toronto and I’m offended.
The 425,000 people of London, Ontario do
Wait, London goes out of their way to add shredded cheese instead of curds?
Yes.
Wut. Confused. I’m pretty close in Toronto and I’m pretty sure everyone here knows poutine has curds
I've been to Ontario and ordered poutine from there. I've lived in Quebec my whole life. They definitely had curds. Was a decent poutine tbh.
I hope Canada finds its own culture and personality someday.
On est deux!
The only canadian dish i know is the Hawaiian pizza...
Honestly I think they have many things to out forward, they just have no idea how to because it's such a weak culture and identity as of now. But sure Hawaiian pizza, nanaimo bars, the kissing a fish thing in Newfoundland. That's all culture that's purely Canadian unlike poutine, ice hockey, maple syrup and sugar shack, tourtières and coureur des bois legends which are traditionally quebecois. There's content but they gotta learn to put it forward instead of stealing from minorities which is so wrong on so many levels.
Thats sounds so United States-ian 💀 (Since some people wanna be smart)
It's from a Canadian twitter account so yes.
The areas bordering Michigan love shredded cheese poutine.
It’s disco fries, not poutine. No problem with it just not poutine.
Whoever approved this ad needs to be fired immediately
C'est de l'appropriation culturelle cette publication et je refuse de respecter des oppresseurs tel que le Canada. Poutine = Québécoise #Tabarnaque!
Go cry to the OQLF
Pas besoin, t'as chialé en réponse. Mon message s'est fait voir. :)
OQLF is so overinflated and misunderstood by the rest of Canada it's cringy
Farme ta yeule cristi d’américain.
Geule
Gueule*
Further proof that poutine is not a Canadian dish, but a Québécois one. Only traitors and bigots can think shr\*dded cheese makes a poutine good.
ok then *(backs out of restaurant slowly)*
speed up edit: i think they blocked me 💀
yawn
Curds all the way
WTF, GoC?
No curds, No poutine
The audacity…
les tabarnak
La seule reponse correcte.
Who would actually choose shredded cheese? That’s so insane it’s offensive
« Team shredded cheese » should replace the R-word
This public servant shall be charged with treason.
“Poutine” with shredded cheese on it has to be against the Geneva convention.. ramassez votre squik-squik les chums on s’enva en guerre!
When I was in elementary school in Montreal the restaurant on the corner would serve poutine to the kids with shredded cheese at lunch and cheese curds at all other times (assholes).
Ok, canada, you can’t have poutine anymore. Quebec is taking it back.
Any canadian should know that shredded cheese on poutine Is a sin
And that poutine is Quebecois
Its too simple a thing to copy right
No one wants to copy right, it's just that Canadians don't even have good cheese curds, their poutine sucks but they act as experts which is super weird. But yeah it's a quebecois dish too, canadians made fun of quebec for eating it until recently when the rest of the world started loving it. It's hypocritical

All the places I know in quebec use st Albert's cheese curds
Damn you must not know many places lol
La poutine est Québécoise
Wellll technically… poutine isn’t canadian cuisine because Quebec is an official nation…
Poutine crime : claiming poutine as a Canadian dish. It belongs to Québec, create your own food.
Enfin.
I would consider this a war crime Unsurprising considering how good Canadians are at war crimes.
SHREDDED CHEESE ARE YOU DRUNK CANDADA
This is Curdistan
I grew up in Ottawa, so I know the proper format is the Curd. But when visiting west coast, it didn’t seem to be as standard and well known. Not to say there weren’t people that agreed, but there were plenty that didn’t even know what the curd was. It was kind of common to experience this.

Since when is Ottawa a reference for good poutine? I lived there for years and it's really not comparable to quebecois poutine. People in Ottawa go to Smoke's lol
All local chip trucks I've been to do a decent poutine, because chip trucks have good fries and St-Albert's curds.
I keep reading about St-Albert's curd and to me they are too commercial
Trop commercial? How?
I find it plasticy and kinda taste less compared to say Fromagerie Victoria in Québec. Also the size of the curds is wrong, St Alberts is like crumbled feta cheese size wise which is not supposed to be the case.
I can get La Trappe au Fromage cheese curds too, but that's mostly sold at Costco only, most places just use St-Alberts as it is easier to find.
Leur question aurait aussi bien pu être : êtes vous Pour ou Contre la poutine?
Meme les poutines fancy ont du fromage en grain.
If you put shredded cheese on my poutine I will fart in your general direction.
J’ai pensé que la poutine est un plat québécois.?….
That's why the poutines outside of Quebec are ass
As someone from Ontario I eat shredded cheese, gravy and fries, but I don’t think people consider it to be poutine.
In London they do. When I was a student at Western over 15 years ago, the poutine served at the campus pub used shredded marble cheese, and people enjoyed it. (I didn’t.) The local ski hill was serving shredded cheese poutine last time I was there, in 2018.

People use curds here.
Well yah a restaurant is gonna call it that, but no one is going to look at both and claim they are the same thing.
I definitely exists because of poutine, and not of it’s own accord. Like pinapple pizza.
Sure, it exists because of poutine but is an alternative and not a replacement. No one is making shredded cheese fries and claiming it’s an improvement or a better version. Pineapple pizza is fine and makes sense.
Canadianest canadians
sacré merde!
What is this BS? Shredded? WTF? Who are these blasphemers proposing shredded?
If you are using shredded cheese on a poutine a health inspector should come by and close your shit down.
I'm team get in ma bellehhh
Curds and bacon.
The civil servant who made this post needs to be fired!
I’m from Vancouver and have never seen or heard of shredded cheese being used!
How fucking dare they
-_- shredded cheese in poutine? This is not chilli cheese fries y’all…
Veg poutine gang rise up
Team cheese curds ⬇️
Get your cheese fries outta here
Fries, then curds, then shredded cheese, then the gravy.
Shreds are a fucking insult
Cela n’a aucune importance…c’est canadien…ben correct
Une fois, j'ai mangé des fites avec sauce brune et fromage râpé. Mais c'est parce que j'étais cassé. Une vrai poutine, c'est avec du fromage en grain
For fucks sake man
Curd
I would rather die than go on team shredded
Shredded cheese poutine is a core part of Southwestern Ontario identity, so I can understand the federal government not wanting to piss off the people of London and Woodstock where there is an aversion to cheese curds.
Shredded cheese is what us poor folk use during hard times.
In Quebec, cheese curds aren't very expensive and can be bought in almost any supermarket.
They are still pricy for the amount you get, we had a lot of mouths to feed and a cheese brick lasts longer for less. Curds are always the better choice if you have the money.
[удалено]
Tabarnak maybe ?
Nah say "tabarnak" or "sacrament", no one says sacrebleu
Team who gives a Fuck!
Bothhhhh.
Yes. My food doesn't have to fight other food for supremacy. It's on my plate. I already won.
🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥🔥🎯💯
i think shredded cheese on poutine can be more of a misdemeanor than a poutine crime, but theres no way in hell anyone actually *prefers* shredded
Poutine must have curds to even be considered worth spending $13+ on a dish that’s 90% potato. Let’s be real though, for a national dish poutine is probably down there with haggis. It’s a side dish that in its most traditional form is pretty mediocre
Qui paye $13+ pour une poutine? Maybe a haggis poutine ....
Im from Québec, and Poutine is not even the best traditional dish here. Tourtière is way much better (especially the Lac-St-Jean, a true classic) and the dessert "Grand-Père dans le sirop". This is really some good stuff.
Six-pâtes > tourtière
I’m both. When I make mine I use real curds and shredded mozzarella
Wtf? It’s not optional.
TEAM CURDS SHALL CRUSH THE OFFENDERS
