Originating in Quebec during the late 1950’s, Poutine has grown to become one of Canada’s premier delicacies. With a combination of cheese curds, fries, and gravy, it was only a matter of time before we started throwing more mouth watering things in. From the east coast to the west, and everything in between, here are 10 wild poutine combinations.
Via Cottage Life
The Lobster Poutine- One does not simply go to the east coast and not have lobster. Halifax’s The Grill at CUT can hook you up there.
The Beef Brisket Poutine- The beef is drenched in an incredible barbecue chicken gravy. This meat lovers dream can be found at The Smoque Shack in Ottawa.
The Butter Chicken Poutine- All the flavourful greatness of butter chicken thrown on top of our favourite snack. Need we say more? Pick one up at any Original Joe’s location.
The Foie Gras Poutine- Talk about high class. This decadent dish has real pieces of foie gras (duck liver) placed on top. Swing by Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal to try it.
The Halibut Poutine- It’s like fish and chips but better. Fishworks adds some west coast flare with this seafood infused fish.
The Pierogi Poutine- Sour cream, bacon, creamy pierogis, on poutine. A match made in mouth watering heaven. Find these at Smoke’s Poutinerie.
The Cheeseburger Poutine- All the elements of your favourite American Hamburger mixed with your favourite Canadian snack. These come once a year at the CNE.
The Corn Dog Poutine- Again, mixing two yummy snacks isn’t a bad idea. Find this perfect combination at La Banquise in Montreal.
The Roast Duck Poutine Pizza- You’ll need to undo the ol’ belt buckle after this one. Duck, caramelized onions, cheese curds, fries, and gravy piled high on a pizza crust. Grab a bite at Bannock in Toronto.
The Poutine Spring Roll- Bite sized goodness to help with your portion control. Try these at The Pacific Junction Hotel in Toronto.
The great thing about poutine is that even after all these incredibly mouth watering combinations, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. How do you like your poutine?
