📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Poutine is said to have been born in a small town in rural Quebec in the 1950s: fries are topped with fresh, squeaky cheese curds and hot gravy. Now a national dish loved across Canada, it's popular as a late-night snack and companion to watching ice hockey.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a cold winter night in Montreal, people back from a hockey game gather around bowls of poutine at a late-night spot, stretching melted cheese with their forks.
