Poutine's turning 50 - time for some respect, please

"If you thought poutine, Quebec's favourite fast food concoction, was made of french fries topped with gravy and salty cheese curds, you're wrong.

According to the political scientist who wrote a book on Quebec's signature dish, the real recipe is a generous portion of shame fried gently in an inferiority complex and topped with a hint of denigration from the ROC (Rest of Canada) - and a touch of guilty pleasure.

"Love it or hate it, poutine has become a strong symbol of Quebec," said Charles-Alexandre Théorêt, author of Maudite poutine!"

Poutine is /awesome./ The Steelhead Diner (downtown at first and pine) makes a surprisingly excellent version.

This guy may have written a book on poutine, but I find no evidence that the book has been PUBLISHED. Google turns up dry, as does Amazon.ca.

Grump of a frustrated bibliophile.
