Poutine

Poutine is a super yummy Canadian dish made with 3 simple ingredients: french fries, cheese curds, and gravy.

Imagine a big plate of crispy, delicious french fries that are warm and salty. Then, imagine melting little chunks of cheese on top that squeak when you bite into them. Lastly, imagine pouring a hot, rich gravy all over those fries and cheese curds.

When you eat it, you get a mouthful of all three flavors at once - salty, cheesy, and savory. It's like a party in your mouth! It's really popular in Canada and some people even say it's their favorite food. So next time you're in Canada, be sure to try some poutine!
