Canadian Poutine

Cultural Context

Poutine originated in Quebec, Canada, in the late 1950s, combining French fries, cheese curds, and gravy into a deliciously indulgent dish. It reflects the region's love for hearty comfort food and has become a symbol of Canadian cuisine. Today, poutine has evolved with countless variations, featuring different gravies and toppings, and is enjoyed across Canada and beyond, often found in diners and food trucks.
