Angry Poutine

A while back, Richard and I had a craving for Burger King and I was happy to see that they offered three varieties of poutine.

We decided to split an Angry Poutine. It had jalapeno peppers, so-called angry onions and angry sauce (I suppose hottish?)

At any rate, it was pretty good! I LOVE jalapeno peppers and I have always liked Burger King's fries because they're always crispy. I kind of liked their take on poutine. (And I especially like how the red neon sign reflects on the gravy making it look really angry!)

Believe it or not, a 4 out of 5 curds. Pretty darn good, especially for a fast food joint.

Poutine Chronicles

Poutine is a mind-boggling combination of french fries, cheese curds and gravy. A Canadian invention, poutine was created in Québec and its popularity has spread across the land. On occasion, if you're lucky, you can find poutine in the U.S.A. Since I live on the Ontario/Québec border, poutine is as ubiquitous at chip stands and restaurants as burgers and hot dogs.

This blog follows the search for the perfect poutine. For waistline and cholesterol reasons, consumption is limited as much as I possibly can. So I'll need your help!

If anyone has had a poutine experience, good or bad, please e-mail me with the name and address of where you tried it and a description (and photo of the poutine if possible). Also, a rating of how good the poutine was out of a possible five curds (for a fantastic one).
