Fernand Lachance, que se chamou himself o pai do poutine, foi pedido para misturar junto fritadas e coalhada de queijo no mesmo saco no pedido de um cliente. Lachance, a restaurant owner in the dairy town of Warwick, then replied: “Ça va te faire une maudite poutine” (”It’s gonna make a hell of a mess”). The sauce was added later to keep the fries warm.

Poutine has been knocked as an artery clogging, unsophisticated, working-class food. However, these labels have not hurt it’s reputation with Canadians. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation asked their viewers to rank poutine against other Canadian inventions. Out of 50 inventions, poutine ranked 10th. That 10th place ranking is more impressive when you see what it beat - Java Programming Language (#12), the BlackBerry (#18), Radio Voice Transmission (#19), Instant Replay (#24), Goalie Mask (#25), Electric Oven (#29), Alkaline Long-Lasting Battery (#32), and the Snowblower (#37). If you were wondering, insulin was ranked number one.

Who’s hungry?
