By the way, Andrew, speaking of poutine, there is a French fry food truck in a nearby city and I happened to see a menu for it today and noticed that poutine is a regular feature. I'm curious, since you all don't really know how to make gravy, what they use as gravy on poutine here...…………..I may have to go try it just for comparison as I have had an actual Canadian poutine (thus my knowledge of not liking them).

I've never eaten poutine or boogers, but I have heard that they have a similar flavor. Can anyone confirm that?

I have that d@mn song in my head, "I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener..."

Just 28 more posts and we'll be ready for a new thread...oh yeah!

Where is exquisitetobe when I need her .... She undoubtedly makes an excellent poutine.

I think Irish is from La Belle Province as well. I just visit there and complain about the traffic in Montreal. We sold our warehouse there last year so not sure when the next time is that I'll visit.

Je préfère la poutine écossaise-chinoise même si elle a un goût de boogers de soja.

Yep, but the French butcher a perfectly good word by pronouncing it boo-gair. As in, " Monsieur you're a simpleton swine; you have a boo-gair in your mustache."

3 Tbsp cornstarch

Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes, until the mixture turns golden brown.
Add the beef and chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk. Stir in about HALF the cornstarch mixture and simmer for a minute or so. If you'd like your gravy thicker, add a more of the cornstarch mixture, in small increments, as needed, to thicken. Season with pepper. Taste and add additional salt, if necessary, to taste.

Unsalted butter and unbleached flour don't exist in Southern kitchens....just saying...………..And, down here, we make our gravy with stuff that doesn't require cornstarch slurry to thicken it. Don't get me wrong, I have made some you could spackle walls with, but mine is usually pretty good.

Excusez-moi Monsieur Doodler but boo-gair would be the pronounciation of France.
Here, we say boo-gueur.
