    Curry is just gravy where the main dish is cooked in the sauce vs American gravy where the droppings and leavings of the main dish are turned into a leftover sauce

    Spice isn’t a requirement for curry, only cooking method

    That’s the problem with curds, the window of goodness is short!

    you make milkfat into curd, then age the curd to get cheese

    i imagine it's part of why it took a while to go mainstream despite being eaten in quebec since the 50s (other than you know, anglophones loving to mock the french)

    for most people "the milk curdles" just means "it goes bad" and they don't listen to the part where you go no you can do it intentionally as part of the process of creating a specific mixture of tastes

    it's like how for a million years white people went "SUSHI? but that fish is RAW????? RAW means IT MAKE YOU SICK!"

    This is a crying shame and a deficiency you should attempt to rectify immediately.

    I don't even know how to do that here in the desert of the surreal in Tucson. Never seen it on a menu.

    Not Tucson but I usually pull up my city in Google maps, search for whatever food, then angrily close the browser when the closest joint is 40+ minutes away

    i only ever saw it in canada and i;m from minnesota

    and i only saw it on menus twice and both times were weird poutine variants

    I know at least three local restaurants serve dishes with "poutine" in the name, and I suspect each one is uniquely scandalous. I'll plan out my next few day off lunches around this new quest, stand by.

    while i obfuscated my stance on what makes a poutine, in truth my stance is pretty simple. you need fries, you need cheese curds, and you need a sauce-heavy topping. i am willing to accept a lot of alternative poutines if they meet those three metrics

    but oh my god, most do NOT want to meet those metrics! a million dishes proclaiming themselves as poutines and they're putting shredded cheese down! cheese sauce! parmesan! no! fuck you! you haven't done it!

    Gruyère is not a curd*, fail

    *I guess all hard cheeses are the products of working curds so technically are “curd” but not for poutine

    there's a brewery near me that makes an actual good poutine as far as ones outside of canada go

    they get cheese curds from a farm up in maine and make their own gravy from some of their beer and duck fat. its decadent

    As illegal as it probably is to admit this, the best poutine I have ever had was in one of the little construction containers in Kensington Market in Toronto (sorry, Montreal)

    The guy was actually from Montreal, but his trick was to get his brother to ship the gravy base most places use in Montreal on a weekly basis, and to get up at 5am and make his own curds for the day, so they were pretty much as fresh as you could get outside of the factory co-op in St. Albert

    I wonder if he's still at it, this was several years back... hmm.

    Edit: pretty sure it was Nom Nom Nom Poutine! But it looks like they now buy from a local factory instead of making their own now, so can't say if it's as perfect as it was before.

    i think that it's common for a lot of foods to wind up tasting better in the place they're not famous from. they got something to prove then, y'know? you get a philly cheesesteak in philly it's tourist shit no matter how much your local guy assures you this is the place. get it in ohio and they're WORKIN for it

    fuck toronto though
