How could you be from Brome and not eat duck? It's like having a vagina and only using it to pee. |

Yes. Ask for the Chalet gravy, NOT the poutine gravy. The Chale1 gravy is darker in colour than the poutine gravy.

Cheese curd. You can't grate any cheese to imitate it.
Cheese curd basically uses the same enzymes as cheddar, so it's similar in flavour.
Propper cheese curd is purchased unrefrigerated right off the counter. Once cheese curd is refrigerated, it looses its squeekiness. Fresh cheese curd must be sold at room temperature and MUST squeek when you bite it. However, due to restaurant preparation bylaws, restaurants need to keep it refrigerated, but in Quebec, they get it delivered daily, so it maintains squeekiness. If it's refrigerated for one day, you will still have squeekiness, and some fresh curd is sold in Toronto with only one day of refrigeration while shipping.
Olympic Cheese factory in Markham and the St-Lawrence Market receives fresh curd twice a week from Quebec, so that's where I get mine. Markham gets a shipment on Tuesday late in the day, so Wednesday mornings I bought some there... SQUEEKY!
They sell them regularly at Loblaws and some grocery stores, but it's never squeeky.

Some Quebecers would argue that. Initially yes, but the recipe evolved to more than that since.
Olympic Cheese is on Woodbine, S. of Hwy 7, not far from where you live. For you TAs... got towards the old Viva nightclub, but keep going S. on Woodbine, and right in the industrial strip after the MohtiMahal restaurant and banquet hall. |
