LMAO every American hears the word "poutine" and gets this odd look on their face like I've just said a naughty word or something!

It's a wonderful, totally bad for you dish Jamie. Fresh cut fries, hot as hades from the deep fryer, smothered in cheese curds so fresh they squeek, then drowned in poutine sauce (sort of like gravy but not like gravy). Here's a link for you, try not to drool dear....

Btw, any "variations" like those listed at this site, on poutine will get you hung in Canada. We will all stand around, crack a cold one, discuss the weather and "why you had it comin to ya eh".
