zer0dotcom Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I was planning on taking a sabatical from the online world duringmy reading week to unwind and get things straight, but with the news tonight, I had to make mention. At the age of 86, Fernard Lachance has passed away. he is the man that one day saw a bowl of cheese curb sitting on the table. unable to decide wether or not to eat them or his french firies he had prepared, he placed both in his bowl, added a hot layer of gravy, and created a sensation. Thats right, Fernard Lachance is responcible for the most famous Canadian junk food inovation: poutine (which loosely tranlates to 'messy')The residents of Warwick Quebec mourn his loss today, so where-ever you are, the next time you are at a restaurant, say "I would like a poutine please." as toast to a great man.

See Red Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 so where-ever you are, the next time you are at a restaurant, say "I would like a poutine please." as toast to a great man.I often tell my friends something similar to that. However, I usually say I want poontang, not poutine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I prefer the bastardized version that apparently got its start in Fort Worth Texas - french fries with melted white cheddar and topped with ranch dressing. The dish was called Frog Fries in honor of nearby TCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 At the diner near me, cheese fries with gravy are called Disco Fries...I wonder if it's a regional thing like hoagie/grinder/hero/sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee. Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Ahhh, White Castle, home of the slider...named no doubt, for the speed in which they cruise through your digestive system...Personally, although Canadian, I have never seen the need for poutine. Whenever I hear someone order one, I hear a sound like popcorn popping in another room...that happens to be your arteries slamming shut in anticipation of the cholesterolic treat to come.Now chili fries? That's something special. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Clemente Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Since where did Gravy Friens with Cheese need a name? IT"S GRAVY FRIES WITH CHEESE!!!Since when did a Hoagie need to be called a Hoagie? It's just a cheese steak with mayo and veggies on it. But we've become more accustomed to calling it a Hoagie, for whatever reason.A Sloppy Joe is just ground beef and tomato sauce on a bun, but we call it a Sloppy Joe for no apparent reason.For similar reasons, we Canadians refer to fries with gravy and cheese simply as Poutine.~~~~~STL FANATIC, you can make your own. Just take some fries, add gravy and some grated cheese (preferably mozzarella). Make sure it's gooey.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.
