Poutine is Acadian slang for mushy mess and is best described as a heart attack in a bowl. http://members.shaw.ca/kcic1/poutine.html

Poutine is a dish consisting of french fries topped with fresh cheese curds and covered with hot gravy. Wikipedia

Pronunced “pou-tsin”, poutine originates out of Quebec and is available in very few places outside of Canada.

French Fries:

Fresh, hand cut potatoes ideally fried in pure lard (But you can use canola oil, if you really want)

Cheese:

Use fresh white, cheddar cheese curds. Use mozzarella when you can’t find the curds, but honestly the curds and gravy are realy where the unique flavour comess from.

Gravy:

It should be a thick brown chicken gravy. I hear the only real poutine gravy comes from Quebec, but I have never had it, so if you just happened to have made a Chicken and you have some gravy left, you’ll be OK.

Now that you have everything, put the fries in a bowl. Put the cheese curds on top. Then pour on the gravy. Let it set for just a wee bit to let everything get really warm and mushy and then go at it.

Don’t blame me for the mess.
