Maybe you searched the wrong place. If you had looked on the Newton Glossary
at the newtontalk.net web site, you may have found this:
=====
*Poutine*A culinary anomaly originating in Quebec consisting of cheese curds
and gravy poured over French fried potatoes. Poutine is also a strangely
recurrent theme on the NewtonTalk mailing list. Source:
GH<http://www.splorp.com/newton/glossary/sources/default.html#GH>
=====
;-)
Somehow, poutine is one of those perverse topics that never seems to go
away. It's been the source of many (and I mean _many_ discussions,
arguments, fights, and more through the years, starting sometime in the
early 2000s, I believe, but I may be wrong. If you want to be sure, go to
the NTLK archives, and do a search on the word, I'm sure you will find _far_
more than you care to know! ;-)
