We couldn't think of a better Canadian food to start with than some local cuisine from La Poutine! Bonjour.
Lucky for me, there were four hungry people in our crew so we were able to try quite a few varieties. From left to right: Traditional (x2), Italian, and the Supreme. I'm a traditionalist and love the plain ol' fries, curds and vegan Quebecois gravy but the Italian was surprisingly delicious! Who knew so many things tasted good with fries and gravy?
If you're in Edmonton, I highly recommend checking out La Poutine. I think it's safe to say Brittany enjoyed it too as she is already itching to go back. Welcome to Canada, girlie! I hope you brought stretchy pants ; )

ReplyDeleteYum. I've never tried poutine before. Can you believe it? I really must get on that...I've only lived in Canada my whole life!
ReplyDeleteDelish! I'm breaking out the stretchy pants just from looking at these pictures!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I've never been a fan of poutine but the photos from La Poutine look pretty good! Are you going to be making the trip down for some Stampeding with your family?
ReplyDeleteI've been to The Cheese Factory, and had their poutine (traditional Quebec gravy!), so I REALLY REALLY want to try La Poutine!! (my coworkers and I are on "The Great Poutine Hunt").I'm excited to try this place (hopefully soon!!)
ReplyDeleteWhen are we going?
ReplyDeleteOMG, that looks delicious. I'm keeping a list of all your recs for next time we are in Edmonton!
ReplyDeleteWish I could jet off to Canada this very second :-) Looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI've heard so much about poutine-one of these days, I absolutely have to try some!
ReplyDeleteWow, looks so yummy!! I must check this out next time I'm in Edmonton!
ReplyDeleteNancy xo
oooh I am also a sucker for the original - good to see that quebecoise gravy made it all the way so you could show her the "real" thing! I hope you ordered with a rough QC accent ;)

ReplyDeleteYUM! A great introduction to Canadian culture - I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh Christine, why do you do this to me? I am a HUGE poutine-a-holic. I love the curry poutine from Smoke's in Toronto. Gets me every time :)
ReplyDeleteDelicieux! We have a new poutine place in Calgary called Big Cheese Poutinerie and I am dying to go!
ReplyDeletePoutine was one of my biggest cravings when I was pregnant (that and pink grapefruit - a great balance!) Must get pregnant with #2 so I can eat it guilt-free again!
ReplyDeleteI love poutine but it has to be the good stuff and I do believe this place has the got the really, really good stuff.
