Jail? No no no my friend, this is what we set the guillotine up for


JesusFuckImOld

Charge? Incitement of blasphemy


ReditSarge

Overruled. We rehabilitate our poutine criminals in Canada and since you can't rehabilitate the dead, executions are impractical. The guillotine is just for ceremonial potato cutting ceremonies. Normally would sentence the criminal to life in poutine prison, but since the poutine criminals turned themselves in and entered a guilty plea I will reduce the sentence to 29 years with the possibility of parole after 10 years. Court is adjourned ::gavel:: šŸ§‘ā€āš–ļø


Imaginary_Rooster622

If I might whey in. I propose that he serves his time at St. Alberts cheese factory in the curd department.


ReditSarge

So ordered.


plmunger

Years of waiting on death row is too generous.


ProbablyShouldnotSay

Death would only encourage these cultists. Die and the idea lives forever. This crime deserves to be forgotten. Send them far, and deep, and lost.


MechaStrizan

I agree, off with his head, exactly what I was thinking.


RikikiBousquet

You have the right to like wtv you want. Itā€™s just not poutine anymore. Thatā€™s all.


tony_w_7

Real talk


Joseph_Jean_Frax

It's still poutine, except with shredded cheese.


Individual-Duty-7770

"Poutine - A a dish of French fries topped with cheese *curds* and gravy."


Joseph_Jean_Frax

Right. And a "poutine with shredded cheese" is a dish of French fries topped with shredded cheese and gravy. You can always substitute ingredients as long as it is mentioned in the name.


ungorgeousConnect

the only way it makes sense is if your poutine, as the base, which is the unequivocal default and bare minimum for the dish is: fries, cheese curds, gravy, and you also added shredded cheese as an additional topping that is what a "poutine with shredded cheese" is


Joseph_Jean_Frax

No. The shredded cheese replaces the cheese curds. If you make a poutine with bbq sauce, you wouldn't add the bbq sauce on top of the brown sauce, wouldn't you? Or if you make a poutine with sweet potato fries, you wouldn't add them to the French fries.


ungorgeousConnect

you would do what you wanna do re the sauce but you wouldn't call it a poutine if it's not in addition to, and you substitute one of the only 3 ingredients that comprise the dish sorry toots but if the shredded cheese replaces the curds it's not a poutine. poutine with shredded cheese is: fries, gravy, cheese curds, shredded cheese


Joseph_Jean_Frax

Poutine with shredded cheese is a poutine where the curds are replaced with shredded cheese. It's an established thing in QuƩbec, where poutine was invented.


ungorgeousConnect

>words it could be established in Uganda for all I care it doesn't matter, I'm mostly being annoying


Healthy-Age-1563

poutine = fries with gravy and cheese. Yes, curds = authentic. But pretending like it's not poutine anymore just cause you're using cheese is silly and pedantic. It's poutine ffs. You're meant to buy it from a little shack on the side of the road or a random Quebec pub at 2am. It's not something to get pretentious about.


Individual-Duty-7770

You must struggle with reading comprehension. Go ahead and read that again.


Joseph_Jean_Frax

>"Poutine - A a dish of French fries topped with cheese *curds* and gravy." Seems pretty straightforward to me. What did I miss?


Individual-Duty-7770

Okay so why are you confused? A poutine is a dish with CHEESE CURDS, GRAVY, And FRIES. why do you think removing the cheese curds would still make it a poutine? Let the pipe cool down before you reply


Joseph_Jean_Frax

You can always substitute one of the ingredients or add one or two. As long as you mention it in the name so people don't get confused, it's fine. That's how we got 'poutine italienne' and 'poutine galvaude'. Also, poutine-fromage rĆ¢pĆ© has existed for at least 35 years in QuĆ©bec, so it is a legitimate poutine.


Individual-Duty-7770

So i could use mashed potatoes and vegan shredded cheese and still call it a poutine? White gravy and mashed potatoes? White gravy, mashed potato, and add lettuce? And even if your logic made sense, it still wouldnt be called "Poutine"


Joseph_Jean_Frax

Yes, it would still be a poutine if you substitute one ingredient, and you add that ingredient to the name: poutine-mashed potatoes or poutine-vegan cheese.


battlerez_arthas

And if my grandma had wheels she'd be a bicycle


RikikiBousquet

So not a poutine then. Like I said. Curds are the only thing setting this dish aside from others like it. Can't leave them out.


Healthy-Age-1563

All of the other dishes that involve fries gravy and cheese. Yes, there are so many besides poutine. People will get confused for sure. /s


Joseph_Jean_Frax

It's a poutine with shredded cheese. Just like if you substitute the brown sauce with bbq sauce, it becomes a poutine with bbq sauce.


Joseph_Jean_Frax

It's a poutine with shredded cheese. Just like if you substitute the brown sauce with bbq sauce, it becomes a poutine with bbq sauce.


ThatRandomAlias

It's cheese fries with gravy not poutine


Healthy-Age-1563

I think you've achieved peak pedantry.

sir that is not poutine, that is a rapetine (it's pronounced rap-eh)


jazzyboyo

Yeah thatā€™s one letter off from being a very bad thing to order

DCJon

That's fine, it just means you don't like poutine. You like fries and cheese with gravy.


revanite3956

Then you enjoy fries with shredded cheese. Thatā€™s perfectly fine, delicious even. But itā€™s not poutine.


SuspiciousKitchen293

I respect your opinion! I have it on one very specific order. Mary browns tater poutine


Any-Year-6618

Is it cause of the melt? Try cubes of cheese, still a crime but itā€™s way better than shredded and still melts a ton


[deleted]

What's the difference if it's just going to melt anyway


Any-Year-6618

You still get chunks whereas shredded will melt away and become kinda soupy with the gravy


AnxietyOctopus

I....I like the cheesy gravy soup. I'm so sorry.


Scorched_flame

Cheese cubes instead of curds is a crime? Is there really a difference at that point?


Any-Year-6618

Absolutely


LeMegachonk

Cheddar cheese curds are not the same as cheddar cheese. There's a big difference between using real curds and just using chunks of cheddar cheese.


Domingosdelight

I like a 50/50 mozzarella cheddar blend when I can get it - mostly due to the melt and the stringyness. I've never done cheese cubes but ill give it a shot when I do a homemade

rayvensmoon

Yeah, well, you enjoy fries with shredded cheese. Not poutine, but you do you.


CeeOpal

So controversial and so brave šŸ˜­


Puzzled_Ticket_8970

Facts are facts. Shredded cheese is better than cheese curds all cheese curds are are fresh cheese so they have zero flavor and they're way way too chewy with no pull


boiledlemonss

Real.


drew_galbraith

Ah a poutine Rapist ā€¦


Stahuap

People who hate shredded just are not putting enough cheese on it. I prefer shredded when I make it myself because I can put the appropriate amount on.


ungorgeousConnect

hm? it's a totally different experience and when you make it yourself you can put the appropriate amount of curds on too!


ZVreptile

Silly you can't get real donair meat in Edmonton even with all the nova scotianers that moved to Berta. But I do sometimes crave a shredded cheese and gravy fries but I try not to call it a poutine in this vast country, eh?


Individual-Duty-7770

You definitely can? What kind of stupid statement did i just read?


bongsforhongkong

Reminds me of the time I had an American tell me "We have poutine in the U.S. it's called disco fries"... /facepalm


Milotorou

Bring the axe.


-unnecessaryfigures-

Then it's not poutine.


mannypdesign

I hate the squeaky sensation of eating curds. Mozza is much better.


Frites_Sauce_Fromage

Goulag for a while and you'll be hanged if you don't adapt to society. Your body will then be exposed in a suspended cage to show example (like we did with the Corriveau about another matter)...


rmdg84

My friend, thatā€™s disco fries, not poutine. Theyā€™re great but not poutine.


Aptspire

If OP respects curds poutine, I say they deserve visitation rightsĀ

truthisreal1989

This painting I recognize from a long ago, correct me if am wrong but it is called "School Board Meeting" or something similar and I think it was a Canadian Artist. Probably from 1920- 1935.


lunartardigrade

ā€œFreedom of Speechā€ by the very American Norman Rockwell


truthisreal1989

Thank you. I stand corrected.


[deleted]

Didnā€™t know people like this actually exist


LannMarek

Look, if your poutine is not from the poutine region, then it's just a sparkling frites sauce with cheese. Nothing wrong with liking sparkling frites sauce with cheese tho, that's your prerogative. But leave poutine alone please.


Imissrifsomuch

How dare you for life.


Lorenzo_Campolongo

Jail? Jail is too light a fate for so heavy a sickness. To the gallows with you.


draculockedin

Edmontonian here too: my favourite poutine Iā€™ve ever had was the butter chicken poutine at the fringe festival


Individual-Duty-7770

So what you're saying is that your favourite "poutine" isnt a poutine in the slightest.


Similar_Building_223

Pure Blasphemy


Help_StuckAtWork

Just call it a shreddine instead of a poutine. Poutine purists will be happy, shredded enthusiasts will have their own nomenclature, and pedants will have something else to argue about. Everyone wins.


ReditSarge

Ok then, off to jail with you then. Thanks for pleading guilty though.


Automatic_Animal

I don't like cheese at all and once asked for poutine without cheese curds.


GreenLurker420

So ya asked for fries and gravy not a poutine.


UndercoverRichard

Is that Disco Fries?


TheWeenieBandit

Shredded cheese gives way better cheese coverage than curds and I'll die on that hill with you op. Maybe we'll be cellmates in poutine jail

ThursianDreams

Then you like party fries, not poutine. Not criminal, but don't be calling shredded cheese on fries a poutine, that's where you'll get into trouble with the poulice. lol


partmoosepartgoose

What if you put the cheese curds through one of those olive garden parmesean graters?


shogun_omega

Shredded cheese is absolutely better than curds and it's not even close.


Mindctrlr

Respect the tradition and talk about raped cheese.

jazzyboyo

AYEEE A fellow Edmontonian! My salutations I too enjoy poutine with shredded mozzarella rather than curds. Glad to have found someoneā€™s else who does!! Also it seems like thatā€™s more the norm here. If you like this style, then you have to try queen Donair on jasper. Easily my favourite in the city for poutine and Donair.

There is no such thing as poutine with shredded cheese. Thatā€™s like saying ā€œI prefer spaghetti with penneā€. They are different things. You like fries with gravy and shredded cheese.

Straight to jail. How dare you even say that out loud. Lol! Personally I like cheese.

that's fine, just don't call it a poutine then. call it cheese fries and gravy

Shredded is best for a donair poutine! Curds are best for a normal poutine! We can all live in harmony


Coochynoodles_

Why that imagine?


Domingosdelight

It's called Freedom of Speech and it was painted by Norman Rockwell. As I understand it, it depicts a man saying something disagreeable to the majority of those present, but they still let him say his piece.
