To contribute to the topic, when I was in montreal I went to what my brother claimed to be the 'best poutine place in town' and had some vegatable poutine, which seemed like it was just poutine but instead of meat based gravy it was made with vegetables. It was really delicious, really fatty, and probably not healthy at all.
Johnny C:
You can't just slap any old gravy and cheese on there. You gotta have brown gravy and you gotta have curds. Very few things make me more upset at a restaurant than asking for poutine and receiving some fries with gravy and a bunch of mozzarella haphazardly sprinkled over top of it. TEXTURE IS MASSIVE!!
Lines:
Gross. I'm not eating that.

OH MY GOD THAT DISH SOUNDS AMAZING (caps to emphasize just how amazing).
Most of the time when there are dishes like this in the States it includes scrambled eggs. A typical American version/whatever is scrambled eggs, hash browns (thinly sliced potatoes cooked on a flat-top griddle), veggies (commonly: mushrooms, green peppers, onions), a fuckton of cheddar cheese and gravy. (Not turkey gravy, but the kind of gravy that goes with biscuits. Not cookies biscuits, but piping hot fresh-from-the-oven flaky cylinders of bread (well how the fuck would you describe American biscuits?)) Sometimes there's corned beef hash in there too. Lots of people put ketchup on it too. I can't eat eggs (allergic), but they always sound so damn good. I need to find a diner in Chicago that serves Poutine 'cause it sounds amazing and I could actually eat it.
