Ah those heavenly poutines! It took me a year of prodding from friends while living in Quebec before I tried them. I'm sure this super tasty dish would go a long way towards alleviating depression for survivors and caregivers here, n you can make them as mushy as you like. Start with French fries, sprinkle white cheddar cheese curds on top and cover with brown gravy. The smaller the curds the quicker they melt. My son mixes a package of brown gravy with a package of chicken gravy to approximate the brown gravy in Quebec. If you can't find the real white cheddar cheese curds you can experiment with some other quick melting white cheese. If you put chicken or a chopped steak patty under the poutine it becomes a chicken poutine or a steak poutine. You can dip everything in the gravy. Yum!
