One way or another, le fromage seems to be a staple ingredient of many comfort foods. For this American girl, it's the classic grilled cheese sandwich. And then my blogging buddy Lyne, a Québécoise, reminded me about that Canadian comfort specialty, la poutine.
Now, this isn't fancy cuisine. We're talking a fast food guilty pleasure dating back to 1950's Quebec. You can't get poutine just anywhere--although you can get it at any McDonald's in Quebec. For poutine you need . . .
les frites (fries)
le fromage (cheese--the fresher the cheese curds the better!)
la sauce (gravy--brown)
To find out more about this sometimes controversial Canadian original, follow this link to watch a film clip called, "Vive la Poutine."
Miam-Miam! Moi, j'aime la poutine!
