Chicken Shawarma Poutine

Cultural Context

Poutine, a beloved Canadian dish, combines fries, cheese curds, and gravy, originating from Quebec in the late 1950s. The addition of shawarma, a Middle Eastern delicacy of spiced meat, reflects the multicultural influences in Canadian cuisine. Today, variations like Chicken Shawarma Poutine showcase the creativity of chefs, blending flavors and traditions for a unique dining experience.
