Maddy came across this Indian poutine in Los Angeles. Thanks Maddy for your review.

She said, " It was chicken Tikka on top of curds, spiced fries and good ole gravy on top (plus parsley). It was great. Actually I think in this case it was butter chicken and it went really well with the fries (not too stiff, not too soggy), the curds were melty and the gravy was hilariously traditional."

Funny thing. Maddy is originally from Montreal. And has never had poutine. As she says, " It took coming to LA to claim my cultural inheritance."

"I'd give it a 3 out of 5 curds but just because I suspect there are better poutines out there." Go get 'em Maddy and let us know about what other poutines you discover!

La Boucanerie Du Nord

In Val David, Quebec, on our way to the amazing ceramic show 1001 Pots, we stopped for lunch and when I saw pulled pork poutine, I had to give it a try.

La Boucanerie Poutine was all that it said it would be. Pulled pork with fabulous clear and dark gravy topped fresh cheese curds and nice fries.

I guess my only complaint was it was a little short on the curds. But overall, this poutine rocked.

A solid 4.5 out of 5 curd rating.
