The origin of the name poutine is uncertain, but one supposed origin ties it to a definition stating that a poutine is an “unappetizing mixture of various foods, usually leftovers.” Another origin states that, when a restaurant regular asked for curds on his fries, the owner replied “ça va te faire une maudite poutine!” (that will make a damned mess!)
There are many foods that define Canada, though few are as well known and iconic as the poutine. Depicted here in a traditional format of fries, topped with cheese curds and smothered in gravy, Robert Turner of ParLUGment has done a delicious job bringing this dish to life in LEGO bricks.
