Another Vermont-area review from Marcia. Thanks for this!
We were a little
disappointed. The hand-cut “frites” were sweet potato (I love the fact that
they are called “frites” on the menu), which didn’t have the heft or crunch to
sustain the toppings, which included a small-ish schmear of duck confit (if you
can shmear a confit, that is), as well as a gravy with “rosemary and candy
cap”… being too embarrassed to ask what that was all about, we just ate it.
Turns out that they are mushrooms (according to Wikipedia – “Candy cap or curry
milkcap is the English-language common name for several closely related edible
species of Lactarius; L. camphoratus, L. fragilis, and L. rubidus. These
mushrooms are valued for their highly aromatic qualities and are used
culinarily as a flavoring rather than as a vegetable.”). Well, we didn’t get
the highly aromatic qualities since there was a lot of rosemary as well, but
the gravy was very tasty... And the “curds” … again – Vermont cheddar, no
squeak. But not a bad effort. We all decided if we went back to this
restaurant, we’d explore the menu further and skip a poutine revisit. But, we
all recommend that if you have a hankering for a more exotic poutine, you give
it a try.
I would give it a 4 out or 5 curds
