As a relative newbie to the list, I'm so happy to be able to offer
advice about something I actually *know* !
First, we must agree that my wife's recipe for Poutine gravy is the
best ever (a family secret that goes back Québecois generations).
Short of getting that one, the best Poutine is to be found most
anywhere in Quebec, where the default serving is with fresh cheese
curds (if they don't squeak a little when you bite into them, they
aren't fresh!) Generally speaking, the further you get from Quebec,
the less appetizing the Poutine, but some excellent plates of the stuff
can usually be had anywhere there's a Francophone contingent: Eastern
and Northern Ontario, about half of New Brunswick, and other
communities from coast to coast (though I've never had a good one in
BC). Some Canadian-flavoured bars around the world serve it (I've had
it as far away as Europe and Asia) but inevitably, they make it with
shredded mozzarella or mild cheddar or whatever... nothing worth
getting excited about unless you're desperate!
