Poutine (/puːˈtiːn/; Quebec French: [put͡sɪn] (About this soundlisten)) is a dish that includes french fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy. It originated in the Canadian province of Quebec and emerged in the late 1950s in the Centre-du-Québec area, it has long been associated with Quebec cuisine. For many years, it was perceived negatively and mocked, and even used by some to stigmatize Quebec society. Poutine later became celebrated as a symbol of Québécois cultural pride, its rise in prominence led to its popularity outside the province, especially in Ontario and in the Northeastern United States.

Annual poutine celebrations occur in Montreal, Quebec City, and Drummondville, as well as Toronto, Ottawa, and Chicago. Today, it is often identified as a quintessential Canadian food, it has been called "Canada's national dish", though some believe this labelling represents a misappropriation of Québécois culture. Many variations on the original recipe are popular, leading some to suggest that poutine has emerged as a new dish classification in its own right, as with sandwiches and dumplings.[1]

History[edit]

Origins[edit]

The dish was created in the Centre-du-Québec area in the late 1950s.[2]:12–31 Several restaurants in the area claim to be the originators of the dish, but no consensus exists.[2]:12–31[3][4]

  • Le Lutin qui rit, Warwick – Restaurateur Fernand Lachance of Le Café Ideal (later Le Lutin qui rit[5]), is said to have exclaimed in 1957, "ça va faire une maudite poutine!" (English: "It will make a damn mess!") when asked by a regular to put a handful of cheese curds in a take-out bag of french fries.[6][7][8][9] The dish "poutine" appears on the establishment's 1957 menu.[10] Lachance served this on a plate, and beginning in 1962 added hot gravy to keep it warm.[9][3]
  • Le Roy Jucep, Drummondville – This drive-in restaurant served french fries with gravy, to which some customers would add a side order of cheese curds.[3] Owner Jean-Paul Roy began serving the combination in 1958 and added it to the menu in 1964 as "fromage-patate-sauce".[3][5] Felt to be too long a name, this was later changed to poutine for a cook nicknamed "Ti-Pout" and a slang word for "pudding";[a][3][4][10] the restaurant displays a certificate, issued by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, which states that Roy invented poutine.[10]
  • La Petite Vache, Princeville – Customers would mix cheese curds with their fries, a combination which was added to the menu. One option included gravy and was called the "Mixte".[3]

Development[edit]

Poutine was consumed in small "greasy spoon" diners (commonly known in Quebec as cantines or casse-croûtes), pubs, at roadside chip wagons (commonly known as cabanes à patates, literally "potato shacks") and in hockey arenas.[1] For decades it remained a country snack food in Quebec's dairy region, due to the narrow freshness window of cheddar cheese curds.[9][11] In 1969, poutine was brought to Quebec City in Ashton Leblond's food truck (a business which grew into the Chez Ashton fast-food chain).[12] In the early 1970s, La Banquise began serving poutine in Montreal,[13] followed by the Burger King chain in 1983. Others that followed used inferior cheese and the dish's reputation declined. Poutine was largely perceived as an unsophisticated backwoods creation or unhealthy junk food[14][9] to be consumed after a night of drinking.[15]

Montreal chefs would make poutine to feed their staffs but had not dared to put it on their menus. In the 1990s, attempts were made to elevate the dish by using baked potatoes and duck stock. In November 2001, Martin Picard of bistro Au Pied de Cochon began serving a foie gras poutine which was praised by customers and food critics;[16] this influenced chefs in Toronto and Vancouver to feature poutine on upscale menus.[17] Chef Mark McEwan served Lobster poutine at his Bymark eatery, and chef Jamie Kennedy served braised beef poutine at his eponymously-named restaurant. Over the next decade, poutine gained acceptance and popularity in all types of restaurants, from haute cuisine to fast food, and spread across Canada and internationally.[1]

Etymology[edit]

The Dictionnaire historique du français québécois lists 15 meanings of poutine in Québécois and Acadian French, most of which are for kinds of food; the word poutine in the meaning "fries with cheese and gravy" is dated to 1982.[18] Other senses of the word have been in use since at least 1810.[19]

While the exact provenance of the word poutine is uncertain, some attribute it to the English word pudding.[18] Among its various culinary senses, that of "a dessert made from flour or bread crumbs" most clearly shows this influence; the word pouding, borrowed from the English pudding, is in fact a synonym in this sense.

The Dictionnaire historique mentions the possibility that the form poutine is simply a gallicization of the word pudding. However, it considers it more likely that it was inherited from regional languages spoken in France, and that some of its meanings resulted from the later influence of the similar-sounding English word pudding, it cites the Provençal forms poutingo "bad stew" and poutité "hodgepodge" or "crushed fruit or foods"; poutringo "mixture of various things" in Languedocien; and poutringue or potringa "bad stew" in Franche-Comté as possibly related to poutine. The meaning "fries with cheese and gravy" of poutine is among those held as probably unrelated to pudding, provided the latter view is correct.[19]

According to Merriam-Webster, a popular etymology is that poutine is from a Québécois slang word meaning "mess".[18]

Recipe[edit]

La Banquise in Montreal serves more than thirty varieties of poutine.[13]

The traditional recipe for poutine consists of:

  • French fries: These are usually of medium thickness and fried (often twice) such that the inside stays soft, while the outside is crispy.[20]
  • Cheese curds: Fresh cheese curds are used to give the desired texture. The curd size varies as does the amount used.[21]
  • Brown gravy: Traditionally, it is a light and thin chicken gravy,[20][5] somewhat salty and mildly spiced with a hint of pepper;[13] or a sauce brune,[11] which is a combination of chicken and beef stock.[20][7] Poutine sauces (mélange à sauce poutine) are sold in Quebec, Ontario, and Maritime grocery stores in jars or cans and in powdered mix packets; some grocery chains offer their own house-brand versions. Many stores and restaurants also offer vegetarian gravy.[22]

To maintain the texture of the fries, the cheese curds and gravy are added immediately before serving the dish; the hot gravy is usually poured over room-temperature cheese curds, so they are warmed without melting completely.[13] The thin gravy allows all the fries to be coated;[20] the serving dish typically has some depth to act as a basket for the fries so that they retain their heat.[23]:195 It is important to control the temperature, timing, and the order in which the ingredients are added to obtain the right food textures—an essential part of the experience of eating poutine.[1]

Freshness and juiciness of the curds is essential. Air and moisture seep out of the curds over time, altering their acidity level; this causes proteins to lose their elasticity, and the curds to lose their complex texture and characteristic squeaky[b] sound when chewed.[21] The curds should be less than a day old, which requires proximity to a dairy.[11] While Montreal is 60 kilometres (37 mi) from a cheese plant in Mirabel, restaurants and specialty cheese shops outside of dairy regions may be unable to sell enough curds to justify the expense of daily deliveries. Furthermore, Canadian food safety practices require curds to be refrigerated within 24 hours, which suppresses the properties of their texture;[21] this has resulted in poutineries which specialize in the dish; busy poutineries may use 100 kilograms (220 lb) of curds per day.[13] Poutineries which are too distant from dairies may make their own cheese curds on site, in batches every few hours, to ensure a fresh and steady supply.[9]

Variations[edit]

Poutine with a thicker beef gravy
Poutine made with thick beef gravy on French-fried potatoes with fresh cheese curds is a style commonly found outside Quebec.

The texture, temperature and viscosity of poutine's ingredients differ and continuously change as the food is consumed, making it a dish of highly dynamic contrasts. Strengthening these contrasts, superior poutines are identified by the crispiness of the fries, freshness of the curds, and a unifying gravy.[1] Even small variations in ingredients or preparation—the oil used for frying, the origin of the curds, or spices in the gravy—can result in a distinctly different experience of eating the poutine.[1]

Some recipes eliminate the cheese, but most Québécois would call such a dish a frite sauce (English: french fries with gravy) not poutine. When curds are unavailable, mozzarella cheese may be an acceptable alternative.[20] Shredded mozzarella is commonly used in Saskatchewan.[24] Sweet potato may be used as a healthier alternative to french fries, adding more dietary fibre and vitamins.[25]

Poutineries, like Montreal's La Banquise, which is credited for much of the innovation and popularization of poutine, have dozens of varieties of poutine on their menus.[13] Many of these are based on the traditional recipe with an added meat topping such as sausage, chicken, bacon, brisket, or Montreal-style smoked meat, with the gravy adjusted for balance;[26] the Quebec City-based chain Chez Ashton is known for its poutine Galvaude (topped with chicken and green peas) and Dulton (with ground beef).[27] New variations are frequently introduced. Pulled pork was popular around 2013, followed a couple years later by Asian-fusion poutines.[28]

Montreal's multiculturalism[29] has led to many takes on the dish inspired by other cuisines, such as Haitian, Mexican, Portuguese,[28] Indian, Japanese,[11] Greek and Italian;[30] these poutines may bear little resemblance to the traditional recipe. They replace some or all of the ingredients but maintain the dynamic contrasts of textures and temperatures with a crispy element, a dairy or dairy-like element, and a unifying sauce.[1] Many variations on the original recipe are popular, leading some to suggest that poutine has emerged as a new dish classification in its own right, as with sandwiches, dumplings, soups, and flatbreads.[1]

Poutineries will frequently offer limited-time promotional specials, such as a Thanksgiving poutine with turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.[31] In anticipation of the legalization of cannabis in Canada, Montreal's Le Gras Dur served a "pot poutine" with a gravy that included hemp protein, hemp seeds and hemp oil, offered with a joint-like roll of turkey, wild mushrooms and arugula.[32]

Gourmet poutine with three-pepper sauce, merguez sausage, foie gras[33] or caviar and truffle can be found; this is a trend that began in the 1990s and is credited to David McMillan of Montreal's Joe Beef and Globe restaurants.[34][16] Savoury sauces like Moroccan harissa, lobster sauce, and red-wine veal jus have been used to compliment artisanal cheeses and rich ingredients.[27]

Chains such as Smoke's Poutinerie,[35] New York Fries,[36] McDonald's,[37][38] Wendy's,[39][40] A&W,[41] KFC,[42][43] Burger King,[44][45] Harvey's,[46][38] Mary Brown's,[47][48] Arby's,[49] and Wahlburgers restaurants also sell versions of poutine in Quebec and the rest of Canada (although not always country-wide).[50] Tim Hortons began selling poutine in 2018.[51] Fast-food combination meals in Canada often have the options to have french fries "poutinized" by adding cheese curds (or shredded cheese in the Prairies and Western Canada) and gravy, or substituting a poutine for a fries side.[52]

Internationally[edit]

Poutine is found in the northern border regions of the United States, including New England and the larger Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, and the Upper Midwest;[53] these regions offer further variations of the basic dish, usually by utilizing cheeses other than fresh curds, which are not widely available in the US. In the country culture, a mixed fry can also come with cooked ground beef on top and is referred to as a hamburger mix, though this is less popular than a regular mix.[54][20]

Disco fries, french fries typically covered in mozzarella cheese and brown gravy, were popularized in New Jersey in the 1940s,[55] they gained their name in the 1970s for being a favourite of late-night diners, who often came from dancing at disco clubs.[56]

Poutine spread to the United Kingdom, Korea and Russia, where it has been referred to as "Raspoutine";[12] the first poutinerie in Paris, La Maison de la Poutine, opened in 2017 and quickly gained attention from mainstream media and gastronomers.[29]

Cultural aspects[edit]

A cultural marker, poutine had long been Quebec's adored junk food before spreading across the rest of Canada and the United States,[1][57][58] it had by then made inroads with food critics and established culinary circles, challenging its junk food status.[1] Food critic Jacob Richler noted in 2012 that Canadian dishes are too similar to their European roots to be considered original, with the exception of poutine, which he credited as the country's most famous culinary creation.[59] In May 2014, the word "poutine" was added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary of the English language.[7]

In 2007, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) declared the results of an online survey on the greatest Canadian inventions, in which poutine ranked at No. 10.[60] Maclean's 2017 survey of "favourite iconic Canadian food" placed poutine first with 21% of respondents, ahead of maple syrup with 14%.[61] By 2011, media outlets were reporting 11 April as National Poutine Day.[62][61][63]

In March 2016, poutine was served at the White House during the first state dinner hosted by President Barack Obama and Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.[64] Poutine has been a highlight of the London, UK, Canada Day celebrations in Trafalgar Square for several years,[65] and was a comfort food for the local community after the 2013 Lac-Megantic derailment,[66] it was served at the inaugural Canadian Comedy Awards.[67]

The first poutine festival was held in Warwick, Quebec, in 1993; this annual event expanded to become the largest cheese festival in Canada.[10] In 2014, it was moved to the larger town of Victoriaville.[68] Montreal has hosted La Poutine Week, an annual festival, food tour, and competition held 1–7 February, since 2013.[69][70][28] Participating restaurants numbered over 100 in 2015.[71] In 2018, this grew to 170 restaurants in Montreal[72] plus another 70 in Quebec City, Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton and Vancouver.[73] Poutine festivals are also held in Drummondville (since 2008),[74][75][76] Ottawa-Gatineau,[1] Toronto,[61] Calgary,[77] Vancouver,[78] Quebec City and Sherbrooke;[79] some US cities such as Chicago, IL,[11][80] Manchester, NH,[81] and Knoxville, TN, have also held festivals.[7][82]

Since 2010, the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFCE) has held a world poutine-eating championship sponsored by Toronto-based chain Smoke's Poutinerie. There was criticism that the inaugural contest was held outside of Quebec and excluded Québécois; the IFCE stated that Montreal poutineries had not expressed any interest in holding the competition. Regulations for contests in Quebec make it difficult to include the province, which is often absent from national contests.[83] Smoke's has since sponsored a cross-Canada poutine eating tour.[84] In 2011, chef Chuck Hughes won on Iron Chef America (episode 2 of season 9) by beating Bobby Flay with a plate of lobster poutine.[85]

Jones Soda Co., originally a Canadian company now based in the US, created a poutine-flavoured limited-edition soft drink in 2013, which received international pop culture attention.[86] Bacon-poutine was one of four flavours selected as a finalist in the 2014 Lay's Canada Do Us A Flavour potato chip contest.[87] Though it did not win,[88] Lay's later added a bacon-poutine variety in its Canada entry for the World Flavourites.[89] Loblaws' President's Choice and Ruffles brands also offer poutine-flavoured potato chips in Canada.[90] Giapos Ice Cream of New Zealand has served a "poutine ice cream" of oolong matcha tea, ice cream and caramel sauce over hand-cut fries since 2017.[91] In a 2018 promotional campaign for the film Crazy Rich Asians, "the world's richest poutine" was created with wagyu steak, lobster, truffles, shiitake and chanterelle mushrooms, edible orchids, and gold flakes, priced just under $450.[92]

Joel Edmundson, of the 2018–19 National Hockey League champion team, ate poutine from the Stanley Cup during celebrations attended by over 4,000 fans in his hometown of Brandon, Manitoba.[93][94][95]

Social mobility and appropriation[edit]

The social status of poutine has evolved dramatically since its origins in rural Quebec in the 1950s; the dish was long mocked as a culinary invention and used as a means of stigmatization by non-Québécois against Quebec society to reduce its legitimacy.[2]:74–109[1] While the first generations that suffered from the poutine stigma opted to disidentify from the dish, Quebec youth has recently been operating a reappropriation of poutine to positively revalue the dish as a symbol of Quebecois cultural pride.[1][2]:74–109 Today, the dish is celebrated in many annual poutine festivals in Quebec,[96][97] the rest of Canada,[98][99] and in the United States.[100][80]

The evolution of the different symbols associated with poutine was first studied by Charles-Alexandre Théorêt in Maudite Poutine!.[2] Théorêt revisited many of these stigmas in an interview given at Tout le monde en parle on 11 November 2007.[101]

As poutine gained popularity outside Quebec provincial borders in the mid-2000s, the dish gradually stopped being mocked and was eventually introduced into the popular discourse as a symbol of Canadian nationalism.[1] Today, the dish is often presented as being of Canadian cuisine, even as Canada's national dish.[1] Nicolas Fabien-Ouellet, the author of Poutine Dynamics (a peer-reviewed article published in the journal CuiZine) has suggested that this "Canadization" of poutine constitutes cultural appropriation, despite the fact that Quebec is part of Canada;[1][102][103][14] this supposed appropriation is not linked to its preparation or consumption outside Quebec provincial borders per se, but strictly to its presentation as a Canadian dish instead of a Québécois dish.[1][104][30]

In politics[edit]

In a Talking to Americans segment on the Canadian mock television news show This Hour Has 22 Minutes, during the 2000 US election, comedian Rick Mercer posed as a reporter and asked US politicians what they thought of "Prime Minister Jean Poutine" and his endorsement of George W. Bush for president. (The Prime Minister of Canada at the time was Jean Chrétien.) None of the interviewees noticed the insertion of "Poutine" and Bush pledged to "work closely" with Mr. Poutine.[60][105][106] A few years later, when Bush made his first official visit to Canada as president, he joked in a speech, "There's a prominent citizen who endorsed me in the 2000 election, and I wanted a chance to finally thank him [...] I was hoping to meet Jean Poutine." The remark was met with laughter and applause.[107]

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel had a Canadian lunch with counterpart Justin Trudeau on 16 June 2017, where they ate hotdogs and poutine. Michel tweeted later that this was "A great way to meet a dear friend though our fries are better", referring to the popular claim that fries were originally invented in Belgium.[108]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The dish was originally called fromage-patate-sauce (cheese-fries-gravy) but this proved too long to put on the menu.[3][10] According to Renée Brousseau, the general manager of Le Roy Jucep, the drive-in's servers demanded a name for the popular dish to facilitate taking orders from curbside to kitchen, they said "Ti-Pout makes the pudding", using the nickname of a cook and pouding, the slang word they used for strange combinations of food. Brousseau stated that this was how they came up with 'poutine'.[9][3]
  2. ^ Cheese curds are also known as squeaky cheese.[3] The fresher the curds, the louder they squeak when chewed.[1][21] In The Wall Street Journal, Adam Leith Gollner described chewing fresh curds as "like a rusty doorhinge swinging open between your teeth";[11] those from the Centre-du-Québec region do not consider a poutine authentic if it does not squeak.[20]
