I could really go for some freedom cabbage right now...
Is that a rhetorical question? Because as far as I know there is nothing worse than bad poutine.
I'm gonna plant a Victory Garden!
Time to have some bullfighting cookies.
Every time I see a picture of that stuff, I'm reminded of my drunken friend in Denny's pointing to the menu and saying "That looks like shit. Bring me one of those please."
As a veggie, I'm thinking this is not a food meant for me, but as a former carnivore I guarantee it's the ilk of the products that kept me gloriously fat for so long. It looks disgustingly good.

I agree, southerners use cream gravy as an alternate dip for fries. Westerners make Chili Cheese Fries. I live on the break point between the two.
Yeah, that "SOUTHERN" gravy shit baffles me. It was like someone racked their brain for ways to make gravy even worse for you. Hey, how do we make what is basically meat fat, flour and salt less healthy? I KNOW, MILK FAT!
*I realize that's what poutine is, the adding of milk fat to meat fat to (generally) vegetable fat infused potatoes.

Fuck Denny's. The best drunk food is at a little place called Ross' in downtown Bettendorf, Iowa. It is the magic mountain!
"[FONT=VERDANA, ARIAL, HELVETICA]For the uninitiated, Ross' basic Magic Mountain, which was created by Cynthia's husband Ron Friedhof, starts off with grilled Texas toast covered with Ross' special hamburger meat, then is piled high with a choice of either French fries or hash browns and smothered with cheese sauce. A diner can request his or her mountain be capped with snow -- an option of chopped onion. " [/FONT]http://www.qconline.com/progress98/dining/251.htm
As for poutine, if I ever get the cash to head up to Nova Scotia and visit my friend in Canuckistan I will have to stop and try some.

There's this place is Oswego, NY that makes this delicious mess that's basically geared towards drunk students. The place is Nick Tahoe's and the dish is the Garbage Plate. It's like everything on a plate smothered with every sauce. They've actually managed to make it onto Food Network recently.

I find it cute that New York Fries here serves not only Poutine, but also Fries Dressing and Gravy (a Newfoundland variant)
Actually, this reminds me of a Newfoundland tradition of piling whatever you can find onto fries. Nobody takes ownership though. Out here on the east coast, they're called "west coast chips" but on the west coast people will swear to their grandmother that they're a central Newfoundland thing. What you do is basically the poutine instructions posted at the beginning of the thread, except you also throw on fried mushrooms and onions, chopped up wieners, fried ground beef, and Newfoundland-style dressing (stuffing made with bread crumbs, butter, and summer savory).
Goddamn. I think I know what I'm having for supper now.

I totes mcgoats would, but I'm on a diet. I will join you my Canadian brethren once I am off this dagnabbit contraption.
So, I wanted some tots tonight so I cooked up some tater tots. I covered those bastards with some hamburger and then put cheese curds on top of them. Then I covered it all with some gravy. It was everything I thought it could be, good lord it was delicious. It may not have been super sacred poutine, but my belly is happy and that's all that I care about.
So without a good southern gravy up in Canuckistan I am guessing you guys are missing out on the wonderfulness of Biscuits and Gravy which is like one of the most delicious things to have for breakfast.
Shakey, I just picture doing the Walter Huston Dance after saying that...
Tastes awsome,but looks like someone barfed on my fries.
We are missing out. I spent a summer in North Carolina and every second morning it was Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast.
It broke my heart when I had to leave it behind.

There aren't too many dishes better than biscuits and gravy. I could eat that everyday w/o getting sick of it. It does require good sausage thought, and the best is Blue and Gold sausage.

It probably broke your heart while you were there too.
