I'm not sure; I've never had Newton-poutine. I suppose one answer might be
to go to Prince Edward Island and taste Newton-poutine. I'm not currently
place to make that pilgrimage.
However, I've heard rumours: some say that Newton-poutine, or "Newton" for
short, refers to the poutine made by Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.
These people say that PEI is really all that's left of the Garden. But
others deny that and assert that PEI is really all that's left of Atlantis.
Still others say ...umm, let's leave that.
Personally, I wonder if Newton-poutine might be some kind of Platonic ideal
from which all other poutines derive their poutine-ness. In fact, sometimes
I wonder if it isn't perhaps mythical, intended to give all poutine-makers
something great to aspire to.
Shalom.
