Serious doubt about that British food quirks item - they clearly haven't heard of poutine!

[andrewducker]

Surely a Canadian food quirk?

Our do you mean it's equivalent to chips and curry sauce?

I mean, putting gloopy flavoursome sauces on chips is popular in lots of places, so it's hardly a quirk.

On the other hand, having read some foreign reactions to poutine, maybe it is quirky :-)

[notlosers]

It is very quirky. People here (CA) look at poutine like it's some kind of devil-food.
