Oh wow! Nice, thanks. How was the cheese? Did it squeak when you chewed it? I'm from the Eastern Townships so I know the quality that this cheese should be and I'm hoping it didn't disappoint.

all this poutine talk is making my lunch taste like it's dog food

gah... food addiction... so terrible of a fate

This looks like a good cure for my massive hangover

Dateline — Toronto
Ambient conditions: Sunny, -4 celcius, brisk North West wind
Location: Smokes Poutinerie, 218 Adelaide St. West

Today, 4 brave souls arrived amidst long lines, cold temperatures, and brisk winds with a singular purpose and mission: to consume proper poutine in the city of Toronto.

After what some may have termed an insufferable wait of upwards of 30 minutes, orders were placed, money changed hands, and the die was cast. Now there was nothing left for these intrepid souls to do but wait and gorge.

The payload arrived in signature take-away style boxes, each packing a hefty mass of fried potatoes, gravy, cheese curds, and indiviual customizations adorning this trifecta of culinary delight. Of the basic elements of poutine, it can be asserted now that the cheese curds most certainly did provide the proper squeak, the gravy was appropriately rich and savory, and the fries in no uncertain terms correctly meted out. Early consensus among the 4 combatants was that the only potential failing may have been in the quantities of the cheese curds provided.

What followed next can only be described as near ritualistic gorging. Some dined on swine in the manner of mesquite smoked pulled pork combined with double smoked bacon; others on Montreal style smoked meat with mustard and a dill pickle as their topping of choice; 1 even chose to go the way of the vegetable with mushroom, onion, and peas.

As the feeding began earnest, each of the participants attacked their chosen mound with a pace and fervor that is rarely seen outside the small hours of the morning in some dark, soul-less casino found in North Las Vegas, or perhaps Windsor, when the late-night compulsive gamblers arrive for their nightly shot a making it big. From there, each descended into their own food driven mania.

Some stopped early on to savor their epicurean creations, only to realize that the mass of food was now expanding inside them, thus rendering them unable to continue their mission. Others adopted what some would label a "shovelling" technique, attacking the contents of their take-away box as though it were some beast or adversary that would conquer them if they paused for more than the brief moments necessary to remain part of the conversation.

In the end, 3 of the 4 soldiered through the quivering mass of a cardiologist's nightmare, successfully vanquishing their purchased foe. While the other looked on in near amazement at the quantities consumed, lamenting the feeling being brought on by richness of the demon food, whilst applauding the others on their accomplishment as ony a true team player would.

It was then, after the feeding, that these 4 intrepid peers rose from their seats, streched, exchanged pleasantries and parting remarks, and wandered back into the world whence they came. Some to return to places of employment, others to vehicles, others still to their abode, but all most certainly to an impending food coma.

It did squeek ma petite poupée, however they were skimpy on the cheese. No piece came close to the size of a dime. I normally get 2-3x as much cheese in Quebec. Aaron seemed to have got more than me, so they're not measuring.

When I got up to the till, I asked in my Jouale, 'what kid of gravy do you use in your Montreal poutine?". He actually responded back to me correctly in English, much to my surprise. He grew up in eastern Ontario Get this, the Asian guy who brought me my order understood French too. Go figure.

I had the Montreal Poutine which was with added smoked meat with a little drizzle of mustard and a kosher dill quarter. The gravy was good, lighter than I prefer, however flavourful on the pallate with adequate peppery finish.
