Hmmm. Coincidentally I was just at a place here that had poutines on special but they were $10 and I've never heard of them before. I just asked my phone what a poutine was and it says french fries with curds and gravy. Certainly that can't be worth $10. Did I get it wrong?

@lerlo $10 for a poutine?! Sounds expensive indeed.
Maybe it's because it's a huge poutine. Or there are many possible variations of poutine. Some add some chicken in it, others smoked meat or mushrooms or sea food. Anything goes. I even saw an ice cream joint that offers a poutine desert where the fries are made with donut dough, the cheese is replaced with marshmallows and they pour some caramel sauce instead of gravy.

@QuidamOutrepont Ahhh, ok. Yes, additional ingredients makes sense for the price. Thanks!

There was a list when I did it including chicken tikka. it also had bangers and mash and Yorkshire pudding on the same list

@lerlo Chicken tikka with bangers, mash and Yorkshire pudding, followed by strawberries. Sounds perfect.

It always was. Even fish and chips isn't British - it was brought by Sephardic Jewish immigrants from Portugal.

@Jnei "Fish and chips is a hot dish consisting of fried fish in batter served with chips. The dish originated in England and is an example of culinary fusion of its two main ingredients, each brought by immigrants." Wikipedia

@Jnei England had immigration from long before the trees for the pilgrims ships were saplings

@ShadowAmicus Immigration is what makes Britain Britain - I imagine the same is true of all the great sea-faring nations. Incidentally, it's a lot of fun to point out to racists that black African Roman soldiers were here centuries before the Anglo-Saxons showed up.

@Jnei I have always gone onto the subject of Nelson and Trafalgar, which most racists seem to like - then tell them how multicultural the navy was
I do wonder who was living here pre-druid

and of course New Yawk is it's own country

I’m with you 100%!!
