Recently, I've been thinking opening a Poutine stand in a big city in Europe would be a great idea. The only drunk food available is McDonalds and Kebabs. I'm sure everybody is sick of kebabs (I am). The only problem is that cheese curds don't seem to exist here but if there's a viable way to import/produce them...

I'm also very surprised they don't put pickled beetroots in Kebabs anywhere here. Goddamn it it's Poland, it's not like beetroots are scarce. It was my favorite part of the kebabs back home.

I've never had Poutine. I'm excited to try it one day, but I want to make sure it's a good poutine.

Poutine is junk food. It's basically fries with gravy and cheese curds. I would say it's our equivalent of the corn dog in some parts of the US. Nothing really mind-blowingly good (unlike some people are trying to sell it as the new hip thing would like you to think) but when you grow up eating it, it's hard to imagine a world without it. It's decent in pretty much any "la belle province" (a food chain in Quebec). If you want something fancier, or even add couple ingredients to the recipe, "La banquise" in Montreal is a well know place for a reason, i would recommend going there but try the classic one before experimenting with their variations.
