poutine - n., a Québécois dish of French fries topped with cheese curds and covered in gravy.


Another word my True Love gave me. Etymology disputed; Wikipedia has a good summary of the debate, along with more information about poutine than most non-Canadians would want.

When we were there, it seemed like they were saying "'poot ehn"

We loved it :-D

...commenting on this entry way late--must have missed it when you posted it, but I came across it going back to look for your entry on kobolds.
