Canucklesbies, do you love poutine? Do you love it enough.... to drink it?

The classic Canadian dish will soon be available in drink form.
Jones Soda is releasing a poutine-flavoured soda for a limited time in Canadian markets.

From the Toronto Star:

?With a nice balance of rich, savory gravy over a starchy potato base, and accented with those fatty, cheesy notes you expect in a plate of poutine, we believe we?ve developed the perfect liquid version of this undisputedly Canadian delicacy.?

The special editon drink will be available in Quebec, Ontario and B.C.

Not in Manitoba? Damn, I'll have to get someone to ship me some. I wonder if there's a diet version. :upsidedow

that is nasty

It's fries, gravy and cheese curds. What's not to love?

Don't knock it til you try it.

I think I like Putin more then I like Poutine

i like it but it does not agree with me. makes me feel like shit. i still eat it once in a while. chip truck poutines are the best. fuck all that fast food restaurant poutines.

Looks like beer.

The perfect beverage to wash down a piece of Great Canadian Ketchup Cake with.

no that is still shit.. hehe

poutine works for food, doing it as a beverage is fucking disgusting though, stupid they even tried this.

You need to read the article. Jones Soda is known for their crazy stunt flavours. It's part of their MO.

I wonder how it would be if you drank that soda while eating poutine?

Would the poutine overload be too much on your senses?

at first the thought of poutine disgusted me, but after coming to canada and living here i fucking love it. my heart not so much, feels like im gonna have a heart attack each time.

I love poutine.

I may be heading out to Ontario sometime in the next few months, am going to look for this stuff.

Still haven't tried poutine... maybe I will some day but I hate gravy on fries so it never really appealed to me.

That's just flat-out uncanadian.

Chips and Gravy = Yes!

Fries and Gravy + Cheese = No!

I keep saying this but seriously it's a 'don't knock it til you try it' thing.

I live in the largest French community west of Quebec in Canada, you better believe there are some places here that serve up some pretty amazing poutine. Having never had 'cheese curds' on or in any other thing I've ever eaten in my life I wasn't really sure about that either, but I've always loved fries (or chips, whatever) and gravy I gave it a go and found it amazing.

I only have poutine about once a year, but when I do it definitely isn't from a fast food place.

I have had it a few times in Montreal and my fiancé raves about it. I do not get the attraction.

Real Canadian eat their poutine. Oui Oui

French Canadians don't eat that stuff often, the English are another matter

The last poutine I ate was in 1983.....

You would NOT believe how difficult it is, for me to not post...

i like POOtine...

But I am trying and have managed to resist the urge so far...

I'm not a cheese guy anyway, so that just puts me off to start with :1orglaugh. I only eat Mozzarella, can't stand anything else. But, I never used to eat mushrooms either, but now I do, so maybe in a few more years perhaps :)

"Curds" doesn't sound to healthy to me :)

Like mozzarella is to pizza, cheese curds in poutine isn't anything overpowering, it simply adds a slight cheesiness to the dish. No overpowering flavour or aroma at all, it's more about texture.

Admittedly it's not the healthiest of dairy products. But that's probably the whole point of it, as poutine probably isn't (or shouldn't) be a daily regular on anyone's diet. Consider it a once in a while treat, nothing more.

In the process of making cheese milk is separated into liquid and solids. These solids are referred to as 'curds'. They are high in vitamin A, protien, but also quite high in fat, calories, sodium, and cholesterol. Cheese curds have zero carbs.

So for example, if you're on a 2000 a day calorie diet, 3 oz of cheese curds on a poutine will constitute about 15% of your daily limit. Of course when you add in the fries and gravy that brings it up even more.

Once a year for me. If that. But it's worth the wait.

There is one at a place in my neighborhood that is fantastic. The restaurant is a bit weird..it is a German/Korean fusion place (shouldn't work but really does).

Their Poutine is -
Fresh cut tempura fries, German imported cambozola cheese, short rib gravy

It is really outstanding.

Great to eat (once in a blue moon) but drinking it? I'm skeptical. Jones is always about the savoury sodas.

as I mentioned in an earlier post, I love poutine, but no fucking way in hell do I want soda flavored like it. lol

I like it with hotdogs cut up in it :)
or montreal smoked meat..that is the good stuff
