poutine emerged from Quebec rural diners in the 1950s and became Canada's most internationally recognised dish. There's something about the a sugar shack cabane à sucre context that reinforces the comfort effect. Molson Canadian alongside is the traditional way and it makes complete sense. I come back to this dish when I need something dependable and restorative.
