Poutine
Poutine is a Québécois dish of crisp fries topped with fresh cheese curds and hot gravy, born in rural Québec diners in the mid-20th century and now a beloved Canadian comfort food. The appeal lies in the contrast of textures and temperatures: crunchy fries, squeaky curds that soften but don't fully melt, and rich, hot gravy poured over the top.
