Quebec And Poutine Go So Well Together

Please and please again " do NOT confuse poutine with Putin."

I can't believe that there is a board game titled "Miss Poutine". I just found out about it this morning.
Who would have thought?

Experience a snack bar's rush hour!

A game for 4-8 players, ages 10 and older.

The employees of the "Miss Poutine" go head to head to be the fastest to fill their orders.
Every round, the slowest players receive mop points. The first to reach 3 points loses the
game and gets to make the floor shine!

What you need:

1. French fries. You can make your own or buy them frozen.

2. The sauce (basic recipe)

1 quart stock of chicken or veal
2 ounces of flour
2 ounces of butter
Salt and pepper to taste

~ Bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan.
~ Combine the butter and the flour
~ Cook over high heat, stirring the mixture until everything simmers (two to three minutes).
~ Reduce heat and let simmer for about 35 minutes.

Caution: Don't forget to stir the sauce frequently.

~ Strain the sauce through a strainer lined with cheesecloth, and add salt and pepper to taste.
If you want your sauce to be thicker, lower the heat to medium and let it reduce further.

3. A bag of fresh cheese curds. You want those to be really fresh! How can you tell? When you eat a piece, they have to squeak loudly in your teeth. You may substitute grated cheddar or mozzarella, but it's not as good.

Assemble
~ Place cheese curds on the bottom of a bowl
~ Cover them with fries
~ Cover the fries with a good fistful of curds
~ Pour sauce on top of everything.

Sounds disgusting? Maybe, but it's absolutely delicious.

Here are a few extras you can add to this dish.

Fried onions
Chopped hot dog sausages
Chicken
Peas
Replace the traditional sauce with a Bolognese or Marinara one. We call this 'Gramma's Italian Chips 'n Gravy Recipe.'

Since the beginning of our French colony, the habitants of New France created a rowdy tradition of getting together just before Lent to eat, drink and be merry. At this time, this intense period of revelry was already designated as the Carnival - a word of Italian origin meaning Mardi Gras. The custom of celebrating from the end of January until mid-February has long been popular.

The first large winter "Carnival in Québec City , the world's snow capital, took place in 1894. Often faced with winter's hardships, the city's population reinvented this popular tradition with a winter celebration that warmed up the hearts of all of it revellers. Interrupted by two wars, then the economic crisis of 1929, the Carnival was held sporadically until the second half of the century. In 1954, in the context of the economic development of the Old Capital, a group of business people re-launched the festivities. That year, Bonhomme was born and elected the event's representative. The first official edition of the Québec Winter Carnival took place in 1955. The Carnival snowballed into an undeniable manifestation for the entire Québec City population, and was an important vehicle for tourism and economical activity in the city.

From one winter to the next, the Carnival enriched its activity program. We have since added even more popular activities, such as winter sports, snow sculptures, and activities based on the traditional Québec lifestyle, such as canoe races and dogsled races. The Québec Winter Carnival is the largest winter carnival in the world today, and is third on the List of Top Carnivals after the famous carnivals in Rio and New Orleans.

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.
