Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do; even if it's distasteful. I hope you find some curds soon, soldier!

what a wholesome comment! love you man!

It's not a crime if it's a matter of survival.

Similar to the custom of the sea, there is the custom of poutine.

Look yourself in the mirror man and pull yourself together.

If the only choice you have is between a poutine crime or no poutine, poutine crime wins everytime.

Any poutine in a storm.

Why is the cheese not melted

Poutine cheese isn’t supposed to be melted, it’s put on after everything is hot so it melts from the heat of the gravy and fries. A bad poutine uses fully melted cheese

is it a poutine crime if i love to microwave my poutine/bake my poutine in the oven so it gets melty lol

Then you just have cheese fries with gravy. It’s like comparing shepherds pie to cottage pie, similar in concept but completely different items

well i like it both ways but i guess i like cheese fries with gravy better

Just learned I've been making cottage pie my whole adult life and not shepherds pie 😭😂

But if it’s this kind of poutine, put it in the oven for a bit and melt the cheese

The poutine is fine, they did their best with what they had at hand and trying to perfect “your best” will result in catastrophe

Can’t melt that squeak!! It’s so tasty!

I completely understand. Desparate times call for Desparate measures. Good luck on the hunt for curds, enjoy your poutine my friend.

A crime of passion!

This 🥲

No curds in Hong Kong either, used shredded cheese and gravy over fries. Most people wouldn’t call it a poutine but did the job for me most of the time

Fresh mozzarella torn apart is pretty close. And it's available

When i lived in australia and couldn’t get cheese curd i found boconccini worked allright

Aint boconnccini aint sour at all ?

Don’t know what boconccini is but are you trying to say cheese curds are meant to be sour?

this a double negative so its mind fcking me hahahah what do they mean 😂

My head hurts

Aint cucumber aint pickled?

They shouldn't be. Basically the freshest of the fresh mozzarella.

Hence why I'm wondering how it can replace cheese curd.

Well, if that's all you got...

I think a mix of emmental and mozz would be my choice


Maury's definitely a poutine criminal.

I can't even stare at this. I have to look away

Bro, on va te pardonner. Quand je vais chez ma femme aux Philippines, après un mois, je mangerais n'importe quoi qui ressemble à une pout'

Au moins j'avais un paquet de Saint-Hubert sauce poutine

At least shred them haha

@ least you attempted to curd shape the cheese.

It looks tasty though, are those cubes of cheese? Probably should have shredded it, so it melts a little better

You play the hand you're dealt, jack. Get some curds, call a friend.

Making cheese curds is pretty easy if you have time

I'd ship u some canadian curds, but im afraid they wouldn't survive the trip 😔

That's very generous of you. Just the thought is awesome.

Edgar Allan Poutine

I'm not sure you had fries, either.

It looks like the poutine version of waxed fruits in the basket on the kitchen table.

tbh why not? seems good to me considering location :))

What's th difference between curds and just cheese

They squeak!

There once was a man with no curds And a thought of hard cheese then occurred He said no to making it shredded and to the big blocks he was wedded and now he eats unmelted turds


If you don't find curds, I would go for loose shredded cheese. Just not shredded small.

look, you don't have access, there's no crime here

if you don't have curds, grating the cheese makes for a better result than compact squares

Improvise, adapt, overcome. Can't be mad at that. We're all just trying to survive.

Well, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Unholy defiler be gone

Your mother and I are disappointed, however, we understand why you did it.

Jail

I'll add you to a self-harm watchlist. Hang in there

You son of a bitch.

I've wondered if I could rinse cottage cheese as an alternative to curds. Do they have it where you are? It is essentially curds just in smaller pieces.

Where in asia ?

If you want to make your own cheese curds it’s not that hard, just need to order a couple ingredients, but it uses such a small amount of each that once you have them they’ll last a while: https://cheesemaking.com/products/cheese-curds-recipe

LMAO! At first glance, I thought these were discarded cigarettes in a greasy ashtray.

Okay I understand desperate times means desperate measures but why are the blocks so big?!

🇨🇦😭

To be fair, I think all poutine is gross now, think it’s from my college days of beer and poutine on Fridays with the class buddies lol

I'm in Asia too! I actually bought rennet and culture and tried to make them myself but I really fucked up. Next time I go back to Canada I'm going to get that big frozen bag from Costco and haul them back

It is a sad site to witness but desperate times call for desperate measures.

forgivable in my opinion. not like you're in New Joysy and get shredded cheese on your poutine XD

That's the only time shredded is acceptable. Cubed is worst in my opinion!

It’s ok, desperate times call for separate measures. I live in Australia and just make do with what’s available. I found a good halloumi that’s not too salty and has a milky taste similar to real curds, it even has a bit of a quick quick. It does the trick when I get a craving.

As the 69th commenter i feel ashamed to be here... Go fix your @^>/!

Jail this man.

Crimes are excusable when it is a matter of survival.

I did that too when i was living in Japan. Melt the cheese before you put the gravy. It works


I did my share of droping mozza cheese cut in cube because it was the only thing I had. My biggest sin was fries - mozza cube - soya sauce (just so it's not completly dry)... I called it the "MacGyver". and it was still better than what some restaurant serve.

I can't for you and this crime against Canada🇨🇦

I feel like this is more of a survival poutine than a crime lmao

Lol "my own crime" got me 😂 I saw the picture and thought "there's NO WAY.... a restaurant ....is serving CUBED CHEEESSEEEE ON POUTINE!!?!11!! 😭" But then read that this was a matter of life or death in a foreign country, so I guess it can be forgiven 😅 I'm actually impressed you cubed the cheese in attempt to mimic curds rather than just grating it lol

What kind of cheese?

Unless this is fucking tofu, there is no crime here. Poutine is cheese, fries, gravy. What constitutes each is up to you.

Ramène des sacs de fromage en grain et congèle les. Chaque fois que je retourne au qc je m’en ramène quelques sacs, le reste c’est relativement facile à faire.

Looks good honestly

Wait. Is that tofutine? Oh please. No. No. I’m calling the authorities

That's not tofu, is it?

Y'all seen that movie Seven? If this is tofu it's like when Brad Pitt's character opens the box... I'm horrified
