Why isn't poutine a bigger deal internationally?

[Deleted]

It's the most delicious and customizable thing in the world!

It's like one of the greatest things to come out of Canada.

French Fries, Cheese curds, Gravy........It's heaven.

[A Platypus Rave]

Because gravy on fries should be a federal offense -_-

Seriously though I've never had it never had any real inclination too... and well there really aren't many places to get it here...

so in conclusion is it's because you Canadians are all weirdos -_-

[Raskovnik]

Why aren't carne asada fries consumed on a global scale, let alone a national scale? They are like California's best-kept secret, apparently, because I haven't found them anywhere else despite being junk food perfection.

This is why its only in Canada.

[Wolf Hawkfield no1 NZ poster]

In all honesty it sounds quite gross to me.

Probably because regular cheese fries are much easier to make and cheese curds aren't that common outside of regions that produce a lot of dairy goods locally.

For me, it's just because I'm not that fond of gravy.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

From the country that figured out how to deep fry Coca-Cola, they declare fries, cheese and gravy gross.

I figured it would be HUGE in the US, but it isn't, so they gotta be f***ing something up when they make it.

I think it's because cheese curds (whether it's the idea of them, the look of them, or even just the name) turns people off.

[Virt McGirt]

It kind of is at Jack In The Box, just minus the gravy, with regular cheese instead of curds, and with Bacon. They also have a variation involving Chicken Nuggets and Ranch Dressing, but that one's only sold at 9 pm. (And, at In n Out, there "monster fries" are like Pontine, too)

[Mozenrath]

Regular cheese fries are a thing, and cheese curds aren't really an every day food here.

The name isn't really the easier to market, either, considering people will be asking what poo teen means.

Rest Assured Canadians, this American will always love Poutine for the rest of his days.

[celticjobber]

I've tried brown gravy on fries, and I've had cheese fries. But never together.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

Canada is only allowed to export one non-hockey thing a year to the rest of the world. The usually pick shitty pop stars. And Alan Thicke, the only amazing thing you have shown the world.

[Dub H]

As someone that thinks Potato is the most divine food ever

Poutine is ruined by the gravy


Just have the cheese,and done.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

If potato has gravy on it, it better be mashed.
