This dish appeared in the late 1950s in the Center-du-QuÃÆ' Ã… © bec area and has long been associated with Quebec cuisine. Over the years, it has been perceived negatively and mocked and even used as a means of stigmatization against the people of Quebec. However, since the mid-2000s, poutine has been celebrated as a symbol of cultural pride QuÃÆ'Â © bÃÆ'Â © cois, and its prominent appearance led to popularity outside the province, especially in central Canada and northeastern United States.
Annual poutine celebrations take place in Montreal, Quebec City, and Drummondville, as well as Toronto, Ottawa, Chicago, and Manchester, New Hampshire. Today, it is often identified as classic Canadian food and has been called the "Canadian national dish", although some have commented that this labeling is a cultural abuse of QuÃÆ'Â © bÃÆ'Â © cois. Many variations on the original recipe are popular, leading some to suggest that poutine has emerged as a classification of new dishes in its own right, such as sandwiches, dumplings, soups, and flat bread.

Some restaurants from the area claim to be the inventors of Le Roy Jucep ( Le Roy Jucep) dishes in Drummondville, Le Lutin qui rit at Warwick and La Petite Vache in Princeville but there is no consensus.

Other senses of the word have been used since at least 1810.
While the exact word origin of poutine is uncertain, some attribute it to the English word
The Dictionnaire historique mentions the possibility that the form poutine is just a gallicization of the word pudding . However, he considers it more likely that it was inherited from the regional language spoken in France, and that some of its significance resulted from the later influences of an audible-like English word pudding . This quotes the form of poorly boiled ProvenÃÆ'§al poutingo and poutitÃÆ' Â © "gado-gado" or "fruit or food being destroyed"; poutringo "a mixture of things" in the Languedocien; and poutringue or potringa "bad stew" in Franche-ComtÃÆ' Â © because it may be related to poutine . The meaning of "fries with cheese and sauce" from poutine is one that may not be related to pudding , provided the last view is true.
According to Merriam-Webster, popular etymology is that poutine is from the slang word Quà ©  © bÃÆ' © cois meaning "chaos".
Recipe
In a basic poutine recipe, the fries are coated with fresh cheese curds, and given chocolate sauce. In traditional Quebec poutine:
- French fries: Usually with medium thickness, and fried (sometimes twice) so that the inside remains soft, while the outside is crispy.
- Wheat cheese : fresh cheese curd is used to give the desired texture. The size of the curd varies as well as the amount used.
- Brown gravy: Traditionally light and thin chicken, veal, or turkey sauce, slightly salty and slightly seasoned with a little pepper, or a brune sauce that is a combination of beef and broth chicken, a variant from Quebec. The sauce should be quite large, but still thin enough to be easily filtered into the batter of fries and cheese. This sauce usually also contains vinegar or seasoning acid to balance the wealth of cheese and fries. The traditional poutine sauce ( mÃÆ'Ã… © lange ÃÆ' poutine sauce ) is sold in the Quebec, Ontario and Maritime grocery stores in jars or cans and in packets of powdered mixtures; some shopping chains like Sobeys even offer their own home brand versions. Many places also offer vegetarian sauce as an option to serve vegetarians.
Heavy chocolate snacks based on beef or pork are rarely used. To maintain the texture of the fries, cheese and sauce curds are added immediately before serving. Hot sauce is usually poured over cheese curds of temperatures, so the cheese is warmed without a perfect melt. It is important to control the temperature, timing and sequence of the added ingredients, thus obtaining the proper food texture that is an essential part of the poutine eating experience.
Regional Variations
There are many variations of poutine. Some restaurants offer poutine with toppings such as sausage, chicken, bacon, brisket or bacon a la Montreal. Some poutineries even boast dozens of poutine variations. Another upscale poutine with pepper sauce, merguez sausage, foie gras or even caviar and truffle can be found, a pre-Millennium trend credited to David MacMillan from the famous 'Joe Beef' and 'Globe' restaurant. Some variations eliminate cheese, but most QuÃÆ'Â © bÃÆ'Â Â cois would call such dishes fried sauce (â € Å"fried fries with sauceâ €) rather than poutine. Shawinigan and some other areas have patate-sauce-choux in which grated cabbage churn replaces cheese. Fast food combinations in Canada often have the option of getting "poutinized" fries by adding cheese curd (or grated cheese in Prairies and Western Canada) and sauce, or subbing French fries for poutine.
Sweet potatoes have been used to be a healthy alternative to French fries. The idea of ​​adding dietary fiber and vitamins to this classic dish is widely supported by the community. Curly fries can be used as well.

In the United States
Poutine is found in the northern border areas of the United States, such as New England and the larger Northeast, the Pacific Northwest and the Upper Midwest. This area offers further variation of basic dishes, usually by using cheese other than fresh curd. In a country culture, mixed mixes can also come with beef cooked on top and are referred to as hamburger mixes, although these are less popular than the usual mix.
Disco fries, where the fries are covered in mozzarella cheese and chocolate sauce were popularized in New Jersey in the 1940s. They got their name in the 1970s for being a favorite of late night visitors, who often came from dancing at disco clubs.

Social mobility and Canadization
The social status of poutine has evolved dramatically since it originated from the Quebec countryside in the 1950s. The dish has long been derided as a culinary invention and is even used as a stigmatization tool used against Quebec people to reduce its legitimacy. While the first generation suffering from poutine stigma chose not to recognize the dish, Quebec youth have recently implemented a poutine assessment to positively rate the dish as a symbol of Quebec's cultural pride. Today, the dish is celebrated at many annual poutine festivals in Quebec, Canada, and in the United States. In March 2016 poutine was presented at the White House during the first State Dinner between Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau.
The evolution of the various symbols associated with poutine was first studied by Charles-Alexandre ThÃÆ' © orÃÆ'ªt at Maudite Poutine! . ThÃÆ'Â © orÃÆ'ªt revisited many of these stigmas in an interview given at Tout le monde en parle on November 11, 2007.
When poutine gained popularity beyond the borders of the province of Quebec in the mid-2000s, the dish gradually ceased to be mocked and eventually introduced into popular discourse and a symbol of Canadian nationalism. Today, dishes are often served as Canadian cuisine, even as a Canadian national dish. Nicolas Fabien-Ouellet, author of Poutine Dynamics (peer-reviewed article published in the journal CuiZine ) states that "Canadization" poutine is a cultural snatch, despite the fact that Quebec is part from Canada. This deprivation is not related to the preparation or consumption outside the borders of the province of Quebec, but strictly for its presentation as a Canadian dish rather than a Quebec dish.
In politics
In the segment Speaking to Americans on the Canada Artificial TV news show This Hour Has 22 Minutes during the 2000 American election, comedian Rick Mercer served as a reporter and asked several people (including later- Texas governor George W. Bush) what they thought was "Prime Minister Jean Poutine" and his support for Bush for president. (Canadian Prime Minister at the time was Jean Chrà © Å © tien.) None of the interviewees noticed the insertion of "Poutine". A few years later when Bush made his first official visit to Canada as President, he joked during his speech, "I told [Prime Minister] Paul [Martin] that I really only have one regret about this visit to Canada. who supported me in the 2000 election, and I want to get a chance to finally thank him for his support I hope to meet Jean Poutine. "The speech was greeted with laughter and applause.
During 2011 Canada federal voter voting scandal, a misleading telephone call registered to "Pierre Poutine" from "Separatist Street" in Joliette, Quebec, was made in at least 14 appointments, including Guelph, Ontario. Fraudulent calls redirect voters to the wrong polling station. Through a court order from the release of documents from Rogers Communications, the source of the call was eventually tracked and apparently connected with Canadian Conservative Party candidate campaign office Marty Burke.
The Belgian Prime Minister, Charles Michel, had a Canadian lunch with Justin Trudeau on June 16, 2017, where they ate hotdogs and poutines. However, Charles Michel tweeted later that this was "A great way to meet good friends even though our fries are better" (and it is a well-known claim that French fries are found in Belgium and renowned worldwide as Belgian frites).
