Poutine @Costco (Canada) review

Costco's Poutine $4.39 + tax

Coldness is the season of being fat... It forces us to make unwise choices... But what can we do? We need to stay warm and we need comfort food like Poutine to help us...

I made my unwise choice at Costco earlier last week... I ordered Poutine... After all... I AM Canadian... And when people think of Canada, winter and food...? Poutine comes to mind...

However. As unwise as it may seem.. It was surely a delicious one =9 

receipt... I didn't get the Ice Cream... I just got my share of the hot dog though :P

Impressions

• Lots of cheese curds
• Freshly crispy fries
• Gravy was a little too thick

Costco is one of the best places to eat at after a long shop at their warehouse... The food items are extremely affordable and they are very tasty.

Their Poutine was no different. The Poutine was freshly made, the fries were crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. The cheese curds were a perfect consistency, some where melted so that when you pulled out a fry the cheese would stretch, the cheese curds were also very chewy. I was slightly disappointed with the gravy as 1. Too thick and 2. There wasn't much taste to it...

It would be a really good Poutine if they "fixed" their gravy.

I will be getting this again... Hopefully not too soon though ;)

Score: 9.5/10

M & M Poutine review

M&M's Poutine

Canadian Pride! Poutine is one of the very meal/snack (whichever you prefer to call it) that makes us proud of Canadian cuisine! 

As you would expect a recipe containing Fries, Gravy and Cheese Curds, it would not be very healthy.

nutrition information

29 grams of Fat per tray!!! Be careful what you eat!

impressions:

• very dry, tastes like prefrozen fries
• needs more gravy
• sauce not evenly spread
• does not taste like poutine
• easy to make (you just need a microwave)

instructions

2 1/2 - 3 minutes in the microwave, not recommended to be cooked/heated with a Oven.

ingredients

ingredients, that does not look very healthy

how it looks, remember to remove the film

This is how it looks once you take it out of the box. Remember to remove the film from the container before microwaving this.

cooked, straight out of the microwave

This is how it looks once it is cooked... I don't even want to show you what the picture looks like on its official website, you will be very disappointed.

my attempt to transfering and evening out the gravy and  melted cheese

This was my attempt spread the gravy and melted cheese (I don't think these were cheese curds). You can see how I have totally failed in trying to "mix" everything up

half finished poutine

This is how the bottom of the tray looked... you can see why I tried to mix the gravy and cheese curds better...

I have always loved M&M Meat Shop's food, quality is good... but for this Poutine, I am very disappointed.

McDonald's Poutine review

McDonald's Poutine

I have wanted to try McDonald's Poutine since it came out, unfortunately, I kept getting sick (flu season has been terrible) I kept having to delay and delay my trip to McDonald's.

Price: $3.99 (or $1.50 upgrade your fries to poutine in a meal combo).

McDonald's Poutine

thoughts:

• lots of cheese curds (good for me since I like cheese)
• good amount of gravy
• fries were quite crispy
• gravy needs to have a stronger taste
• a little pricey (portion is quite small - good for health not so your wallet)

overall, I think this was a fair poutine, the fries were slightly thin (for poutine) though.

rating: 8.5/10
