Good poutine rocks!
I miss fries and gravy (with or without the cheese) sooooooo much.
I will even eat the less than good ones on the BC Ferries because I  
need a fix when I go home to the Great White North!!

The foie poutine sounds rather odd.

Now I need to go and get some curd and fries and some gravy. I have  
never made them at home but I will do so this weekend because of all  
this poutine talk!
