Poutine

Cultural Context

Poutine originated in rural Quebec in the late 1950s, evolving from a simple combination of fries, cheese curds, and gravy into a beloved Canadian comfort food. This dish reflects the hearty, rustic culinary traditions of the region and has become a symbol of Québécois culture. Today, poutine has gained popularity across Canada and beyond, inspiring countless variations with additional toppings like pulled pork or mushrooms.
