Nothing like a fine meal after a day of skiing!
No ski trip would be complete without eating Poutine...Here is my friend Jenny when we were taking a lunch break skiing at Mont St. Marie.
Poutine (
/puːˈtiːn/;
Quebec French pronunciation:
[put͡sɪn] (
listen)) is a
Canadian dish of
French fries and fresh
cheese curds, covered with brown
gravy or
sauce. Sometimes additional ingredients are added.
[1]
Poutine is a
fast food dish that originated in
Quebec and can now be found across Canada. It is sold by national and international fast food chains, in small "
greasy spoon" type diners (commonly known as "cantines" or "casse-croûtes" in Quebec) and
pubs, as well as by roadside
chip wagons (commonly known as "cabanes à patates", literally meaning "potato shacks"). International chains like
McDonald's,
[2] A&W,
[3] KFC and
Burger King[4] also sell mass-produced poutine in Canada
The dish apparently originated in rural
Quebec, Canada, in the late 1950s. Several
Québécois communities claim to be the birthplace of poutine, including
Drummondville (by Jean-Paul Roy in 1964),
[6] Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu,
[citation needed] and
Victoriaville.
[7] One often-cited tale is that of Fernand Lachance, from
Warwick, Quebec, which claims that poutine was invented there in 1957;
[8] Lachance is said to have exclaimed
ça va faire une maudite poutine ("it will make a damn mess"), hence the name. The sauce was allegedly added later, to keep the fries warm longer.
Time for a cold beer after a day of skiing....
