    I’ve only had this a couple of times but omfg was it salty as hell. Granted, it was not in Canada, and I’d hope the “real thing” is less… horrible…

      Oh man yeah you gotta go to Canada

      Alternatively, if you wanna try good poutine, make it yourself, you just need:

      • fries (your favourite kind – imo the best frozen ones are the flavour crisp from Cavendish, idk if they sell those in the states but ideally you’d have them deep fried or air fried)

      • gravy (just make a gravy you don’t find overly salty, homemade is best but if there’s a mix you enjoy, that’ll work)

      • cheese curds (THEY HAVE TO BE CHEESE CURDS, we are NOT making disco fries here)

      It’s so easy to not fuck up yet so many restaurants do out of hubris.

      I’m on the prairies so we don’t have the best access to great poutine but the best I’ve had here is the $6 costco one.
