In Christian Science Monitor today, Jesus "not bad, actually"

There are two reactions to cheese curds:

"CURDS ARE THEE ULTIMATE MANNA"

"I don't eat cheese"

Anything in between is a false prophet.

I love cheese and can't really stand cheese curds. But the last time we went to the coast we stopped in the Tillamook cheese factory and brought home some curds. And I made my friends some vegetarian poutine as best I could. (Fries from scratch, veggie gravy from a packet.) So not my thing but I could imagine why someone somewhere would find it quality comfort food.

POUTINE I WANT NOW but am too tired to get back on bike
CHEESE CURDS MEAN SO MUCH

i was talking to this canadian girl tonight and she said some people in montreal put hot dog chunks in poutine: yes or no?

sounds OK

― jelkino (jergins), Sunday, 17 September 2006 08:41 (twenty years ago)

it happens but is not a usual thing - you can put anything in poutine

― rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Sunday, 17 September 2006 13:05 (twenty years ago)

But why is poutine called poutine? Is it because Putin is Poutine in french or something? (and what does he have to do with french fries and cheese?)

― StanM (StanM), Sunday, 17 September 2006 13:44 (twenty years ago)

hot dogs and gravy

DO NOT WANT

Ugh, poutine -- that combo takes about three days to digest. It turned me off cheese curds in general.

― Danny Aioli (Rock Hardy), Sunday, 17 September 2006 13:55 (twenty years ago)

I just bought some fresh cheese curds yesterday, when I was up north in cheese coutry Ontario, and made poutine. For my 1st try it wasn't bad! I had never had curds that fresh before and the "squeek" did kinda creep me out (but soo tasty).

The best way to mangez poutine is with chicken and peas:

― quincie (quincie), Sunday, 17 September 2006 17:59 (twenty years ago)

chicken and gravy and pea fries actually sound amazing but i could do without the curds

― katie quirk (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 17 September 2006 18:08 (twenty years ago)

no you could not.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 17 September 2006 20:29 (twenty years ago)

That would be blasphemy!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 17 September 2006 21:11 (twenty years ago)

i just object to the word "curd"

― katie quirk (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 17 September 2006 21:18 (twenty years ago)

Hi Thermo I'm coming over to your place for dinner pls make that pea, chicken and poutine thingy tkx.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 September 2006 21:20 (twenty years ago)

way ahead of you

I love cheese curds. From a not-wanting-to-get-so-fat-I-must-be-buried-in-a-piano-box perspective, I am wary of the curd/chicken/fries/peas/gravy extravaganza. From a gluttony perspective, it looks like possibly the best thing ever. Deep fried cheese curds are pretty awesome, too.

I am seriously going to have to get my ass to canada quicksmart.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 September 2006 21:50 (twenty years ago)

What is whey? Is it like curds or does it just go with curds?

― Hard like armour (Hard like armour), Sunday, 17 September 2006 22:01 (twenty years ago)

I have successfully procured cheese curds in Wisconsin and Illinois (in Chicago at a farmer's market, even).

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Sunday, 17 September 2006 22:07 (twenty years ago)

yeah, actually the reason i even know what cheese curds are is not poutine, it's that i had a friend from wisconsin who wouldn't shut up about them.

― fellini-esque-lit-rockist (tehresa), Sunday, 17 September 2006 22:11 (twenty years ago)

Whey is the watery stuff that gets separated from the curds.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Sunday, 17 September 2006 22:26 (twenty years ago)

they always have bags of curds next to the cash register in deps (corner stores). they must be a common impulse purchase.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 17 September 2006 22:57 (twenty years ago)

Amst I'm not american! :|

Anyway. Are curds the same as/similar to ricotta at all?

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 September 2006 23:03 (twenty years ago)

Also, poutine is just one more sex on a plate reason I want to go to Canada, but thats neither here nor there =)

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 September 2006 23:03 (twenty years ago)

i don't think i've ever had "genuine" poutine, but i do love disco fries (same concept basically but with melted cheese instead of curds)

― joseph (joseph), Monday, 18 September 2006 01:00 (twenty years ago)

I'm all for fries and gravy, but let it be with a hamburger steak and a load of sauteed onions. And a couple of brown & serve rolls for gravy soppage.

The first year I was at FIMAV, I overheard Lê Quan Ninh telling a friend about poutine. "I was playing a gig this one time, and one of the other guys playing that day had poutine for lunch...he played terrible at the show! He was so busy digesting this...this thing, that he couldn't focus on the music!"

i can't stop laughing at this right now. hahaha
okay

and CHICKEN AND PEAS WHOA. i have never gone to that land of plenty.

i spent the day painting a friend's apartment (TALL CEILINGS OW) and drinking beer and then, hungry, we went to restaurant fameux (or whatever one wants to call it) (no nu rapido for me) and i DID NOT have poutine! bacon and tomato sandwich and fries instead. it was good but i feel i sort of let myself, and maybe ilx, down. next time!

cheese curds are nothing like ricotta.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 18 September 2006 03:15 (twenty years ago)

This is a good thing, I'm sayin'.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 18 September 2006 03:18 (twenty years ago)

Cheese curds are so nothing like ricotta that when you finally do have cheese curds you will marvel at their utter unricottaness.

But there are no cheese factories there? Do you guys import all your cheese?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 18 September 2006 03:26 (twenty years ago)

Oh goodness no, dairy industry here is huge! But I personally have never had cheese curds. If I looked hard enough I could probably find some in a deli, but curds don't seem to be a commonly eaten thing round these parts (unlike things like paneer as a comparison).

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 18 September 2006 03:43 (twenty years ago)

So I am going to go and try and find some curds next I shop, dammit.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 18 September 2006 04:04 (twenty years ago)

i had about six whiskys tonight and i dont think there's anything i want more in the world right now than this substance

disco fries /= poutine

the word 'curd' is disgusting

― ^@^ (map), Monday, 18 September 2006 16:28 (twenty years ago)

it is oddly close to "crud".

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 18 September 2006 16:58 (twenty years ago)

New York Fries serves Poutine. The authentic taste of New York(TM)!
Oddly (or maybe smartly) there is no NYC location.

― Bnad (Bnad), Monday, 18 September 2006 17:23 (twenty years ago)

the ny ones are just called "our fries"

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 18 September 2006 17:26 (twenty years ago)

you can get poutine at the belgian fries place on 2nd ave just south of st. mark's place.
