Poutine Explanation: Poutine is a creation from Quebec. It was created by a Mr. Ashton in his little restaurant/trailer in Ancienne-Lorette, Quebec many years ago. In Montreal and in Ontario, they also use the same word to describe it in English. No translation required...perhaps a description of what it is in bracket? (Poutine= French Fries covered with cheese curds *fromage en grain* and a thick brown gravy) I am originally from Quebec City and I'm a Poutine lover :o) I hope this helps! Now I am hungry for one!!!

French fries, gravy and Cheddar cheese Explanation: French fries,gravy and Cheddar cheese--this is one of *the* classic Quebec dishes, along with *fèves au lard* (baked beans) [Le grand dictionnaire terminologique gives "French fries, *sauce* and Cheddar cheese" for some perverse reason; Termium doesn't deign to include it in its terminology bank] |

Poutine Explanation: It is the name of a dish made of cheddar cheese, soggy French fries and gravy. Unless you explain the contents, the name should remain as such. Would you translate "Crêpes Suzette"? |

poutine Explanation: Poutine remains un-translated in English. More specifically, if the poutine being mentionned is made outside of Quebec, I have heard the term "Quebec-style poutine". Hope this helps... |

"poutine" (warm fries with cheese and sauce) Explanation: Depends on who's going to read this translation. If it's someone unfamiliar with Quebec cuisine, I'd give them a parenthetical description. Regardless, I'd place the word in quotes or italicize it. Now you can make us all a batch - you're certainly making us hungry! |

poutine=poutine Explanation: As served at the New York Fries outlets in Vancouver, B.C., and in Washington State, French fries with cheese curd and gravy. Delicioius! I think New York Fries has a Web site but don't know the URL. |

POUTINE Explanation: All of the above descriptions hold true. However, when I last visited Quebec, my Montreal-born nephew smartly answered back to my query that it was french fries & curd cheese that you "PUT IN" the gravy. Thus the gravy is the Poutine. That's the humourous explanation for this strictly French Canadian dialect expression. |
