Poutine is Canadian classic which includes fries cheese and gravy. I mean come on who wouldn’t like some poutine. Once we tried it we knew those Canadians were on to something. Traditionally poutine is made with beef gravy but we gave it a shot with some chicken gravy instead. It turned out so amazing that we couldn’t stop eating it. Honestly, we filled up on poutine so much that we ended up skipping dinner that night. Hope you guys give it a try and let us know which variation (chicken, beef or vegetarian) you end up making in the comments below.
