Poutine sounded like a good idea...



So I had lunch at the mall.  I admit it.  I ate poutine.  But there was a good reason for it!  I had been to South Street Burgers the week before and one of my dining-mates ordered poutine.  I didn't even know it was on the menu!  (Because I can't read?  Because I was overwhelmed?)  Hence, when I was at the mall the other day, I said "I'm gonna skip the 'healthy option' and go for poutine!"  It was OK at first.  Then there came a moment where I was like, "There is a lot of starch and fat in my mouth" and I got revolted and stopped eating. 
For supper we had a healthy lamb stew.  It was tasty, but it would have been nicer with polenta to mop up the sauce.

    That's kind of the thing with poutine. It tastes good at first, and then it's too much.

    It depends. I once had poutine at La Banquise in Montreal and I could have eaten 3 plates of the stuff. I think a lot has to do with the delivery method: Putting it in a tall container where all the sauce seeps to the bottom is fail; but laying it flat on a plate with evenly distributed curd and every fry coated with enough -- but not too much -- gravy is best
