In my feat on finding more fattening stuff for fat furs, I traveled the gritty streets of Guelph, Ontario.
I went undercover to the mall for a special assignment to get one shot the moneymaker, this my friends is called the poutine, a common staple in the Canadian fast food industry. picture this, french fries then cheese curds on top of the fries, then smothered in gravy.
It isn't common stateside but could be very popular, but some places in Vermont have the idea, I dunno how common it is in the European side of things.
I don't have nutritional information for this one but I am sure the fat content and whatnot is pretty damn high.
If we eat enough of this I am sure due to the carbs and whatnot it can form pudge, something like this may result. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/387367/

According to Wikipedias site it was more of a storied history, but since all the contreversy surrounding wikipedia now, I classify everything there as disputed. It is popular all over Canada, Vermont has one version of it, and in the states there is something called Disco Fries, I won't touch the New Brunswick version of it though.
It's important to keep in mind that Acadian culture and Québécois culture are quite different. Here in Canada, Acadians are more prevalent in Maritime provinces like New Brunswick than in Québec itself... and for that reason, I've never seen or smelled Acadian poutine. (Tasting the stuff is more than I would dare to do.)

I see, I wish I knew a bit more French, like a funny story is that my sisters boyfriend was really good in French class and when the teacher left a new one came in, all they did in class was play chess, and the stipulation was if anyone could beat the teacher, the student got a pass, well he did, and when it was off to highschool, he was put in an advanced French class the teacher only spoke French no English and lets say confusion ensued I think he was put back into the regular class after that.
French is a much more difficult language than English. I guess that's one of the reasons I'm a grammar nazi in both French & English, but even moreso in English because there's no excuse to confuse "to" and "too", or "you're" and "your". Damn internet. I would correct everyone, but I'd lose all my friends.
this whole thing about Acadian Putine vs Quebecois (or Quebecoise?) poutine is fascinating me way too much...and that underlines and confirms me of a thin i very often noticed: the more a People,a Culture, or an Ethnical goroup has a vast tradition and an ancient history ,better if not related to the current territory or place it lives into ,the more the correlations between the national/ethnical/poular dishes of their culture becomes intricately hard to distinguish and to figure out..its what happens,for example,between both Italians and Italo-American cuisine where tons of several dishes are interpreted and named differently according to the regional place where it was invented (In Italy, or in America by Italo-Americans too) one example for everything (since we are talking about culturally-based food) the "Pasta alla CArbonara" a dish based in Rome/Latium Area, has 3 main variations on its recipe: "PAsta alla Gricia" (with Egg Yolk) "Bucatini Cacio e Pepe" and "alla Amatriciana", the first three shares as main ingredients whose are ,Bacon Cubes,Sheep Cheese and Pepper ,the latter one one has no Sheep Cheese but only Tomato sauce (including BAcon CUbes of course) except "Bucatini CAcio e Pepe who only have pepper egg ..yes EGG, and no Bacon Cubes whatsoever)
fun fact: EVERY ONE from Rome, and from Latium confuses all of this 4 dishes EVERY TIME and get upset on it quite easily (not succeeding in figuring out the right name for the right dish variation)
so..as you see food is so deeply linked to culturally/ethnically and socially aspects that it becomes virtually impossible to make out which dish is which in every culture in the world, and thats why i understand
hypr perplexity over Acadian and Quebecois(e) Poutine

Hey does Burger king up there serve the Quad stacker? I f not, you oughtta protest for it...its FOUR slices of meat, with bacon and cheese on a bun
I ate 3 in one sitting and even I felt utterly defeated! My tiolet hated my ass for the next 2 days after asa well. Guess 2's my practical limit on that

Cool, there are different variations of it, I had a fast food version of it, but for more authentic stuff some places in Quebec know more about it, as they actually serve it in fine dining establishments. I guess in theory you were eating the real thing before you knew what it was.
Poutine is Quebecois (like me). I used to eat that junk before I went all health-food-crazy. It's terribly, terribly salty because of the cheese and the sauce. It will make you thirsty afterwards for sure. It's the second unhealthiest food I can think of, after Duncan donuts.
There is a variant called Disco Fries but it is made quite differently, using shredded cheese, however if you get yourself cheese curds and gravy, it is a tasty treat, BlackMuzzle who commented earlier. made a home made version but he didn't know what it was but he is yet to try the real thing. But these fast food places seem to make it so easily.
Whenever you come to Canada, find a place called New York Fries, and they will make one for you, I believe Burger King sells em here as well.
