A Photo Essay
Priming by way of biere.
Deep fried *real* fries would have been better, but the scent of the deep fryer can linger for days in a house, so out of respect for my hosts, Andy and Québécoise Lynda, we used oven-baked Ore-Ida® Golden Fries®.
The curds were real, Beecher’s fresh curds from New Seasons. They’re ridiculously expensive – $5.45 for 6oz of friggin CURDS – but this was a special occasion.
Here we spoon on the authentic St Huber ready to serve Poutine sauce (aka gravy), from Lynda’s personal stash.
Ta-da!
The poutine was a success (unlike my beloved Allouettes).
I’ll just have a little more poutine . . .
Thanks to Heather of Mile73.com for the photographs!

aw, i love fin du monde as well, and my whole foods was out of it the other day when i was searching for it… boo. the poutine looks good, but did you eat it with mayonnaise?
devlyn – Nope no mayonnaise. Just pure unadulterated poutine goodness!
I spent it in the gracious company of the CAS who didn’t laugh at me despite my admitting everything I know about Canadian Football is from a sitcom.
Oddly enough, a couple of the Canadians had never tried poutine. But I have!
Beer! French fries! Cheese! Gravy! All four food groups!
Any time you want me to send you some St. Hubert’s, let me know. I’m right on the Quebec border here.
no way… i don’t think i could do my poutine sans mayonnaise… at least aioli. mmmmm
Mary Sue – Was there a good crowd at Macadam Bar and Grill for the game?
Heather – Now if we could somehow integrate chocolate in there somehow too . . .
XUP – Awesome, I’ll keep that in mind! I still have two more cans and countless packets . . .
devlyn – Wow. I do like mayo, but I think you might be going too far
The mayo on the fries gets washed down rather nicely with holiday type beer. Wait, that’s coming soon. Might see you there on Friday in the afternoon…
Kip – I’m heading to the Holiday Ale Festival Thursday after work, and then Sunday for the brewers brunch!
