Why Quebec And Poutine Together?
Why Quebec And Poutine Together?
The easiest answer to this question is that one can not think of Quebec without thinking of poutine, period.
Quebec is the motherland of poutine.
This famous dish was invented by french-canadians and it can't be more "quebecois" than this.
Here I will give you the recipe for the poutine and present you with a few
websites where they talk about poutine, all in a very funny way.
Of course, I will talk a bit about Quebec also, the province I mean.
Visiting the old part of Quebec City is almost like being in Europe...and a lot cheaper.

I Listed A Few Sites Where They Talk About Poutine
Quebec, La Belle Province
The province of Quebec is the largest in area in Canada.
The population is closing in 8 millions people.
Contrary to popular belief, Montreal is not the capital, but the
largest city of the province.
Quebec city is the capital.
More than four-fifths of the population in this oldest province speaks French.
Because the majority of Quebecois speak "francais", the province has a distinct
character and is enjoyed by millions of tourists every year.
Most of Quebecois live in a fertile region along the St. Lawrence River,
The Quebec maple syrup is known for its excellence and is vastly exported.
There are quite a few celebrities who were born in Quebec. Just to name a few:
Celine Dion, Genevieve Bujold, Mitsou, Ginette Reno, Jean-Pierre Ferland and
believe it or not Jean Leclerc from All My Children and Jean sure loves his poutine.
See him on the video included in this lens.
In 1977, Premier René Lévesque declared June 24 to be Quebec's National Holiday. Historically June 24 was a holiday honouring one of Quebec's patron saints, St. John the Baptist, which is why it is commonly known as La Saint-Jean-Baptiste (often shortened to La St-Jean). On this day, the song "Gens du pays" by Gilles Vigneault is often heard and commonly regarded as Quebec's unofficial anthem. Fete Nationale

Place the fries on a serving platter, and sprinkle the cheese over them.
Ladle gravy over the fries and cheese, and serve immediately.
That's all there is to it.
It's not the prettiest dish to look at, but surely one of the tastiest and satisfying one.

- I enjoyed this lens. I absolutely LOVE Poutine! We have been to Quebec but had our first taste of poutine in a little restaurant in the Okanagan Valley, B.C. Canada The restaurant is only open during the summer. Poutine is definitely a treat. Check out the poutine recipe I have on my lens. I have lensrolled, 5* and favored.
