Ok, dictionary definitions are out of the question.

A poutine is a fry with cheese and gravy. It's even better then it sounds. The best ones come from chip stands. The ones at our cafeteria are, so so.

I hope it's better than it sounds.

What kind of gravy?

Just normal kind I guess, but not the liquid crap though, it's nice and thick!

Nah, it's pretty healthy. Cheese is a dairy product, fries come from potatoes, which is a vegeteble, gravy... I'm not sure...

Yeah, it's not the most healthy meal but it's so good! Most US people don't know what it is, and yet the best ones come from *new york* Fries, which is a chain restaurant/stand, while most other places are simply smaller businesses in town.

Cheese is good so are potatoes, it's what they are cooked in, that's the killer!

I like my fries, they are cooked in peanut oil.
