Right? I'm Canadian. Poutine is a culture here, especially Quebec (Where I lived for a short time). Poutine is straight fries, fresh cheese curds, and gravy. That's it.

You can totally add whatever you want to it. Plenty of restaurants exist to make pulled pork or extra loaded poutine. Want to add green onions? Ceaser dressing? Tater tots? Have at er, bud. Just don't call it a traditional poutine.

I make sushi at home. I used to work in a sushi shop full time. We had all the traditional rolls for people but also some off the cuff ones like with cream cheese and such.

It's like people watched Jiro: Dreams of Sushi and assumed that all sushi in Japan is like that

Kimchi Mac N Cheese

Mac & kim-cheese.

Kimchi grilled cheese is a very tasty and very easy lunch!

Curry pizzas sound like a bad idea till you realize a lot of curries are just pizza ingredients that you put on bread.

For those reading and thinking "what the actual fuck", don't knock it until you've tried it. This is in steady rotation at my place. You'd think American cheese is a bad fit for asian food, but budae jjigae has been a staple comfort dish in Korea since the war and proudly boasts this flavor combo.

Anyway, this dish is incredible. The kimchi funk is mellowed by the other ingredients and contributes acid, spice, and seasoning to the overall dish for practically zero effort.

Top and finish as you like. Here, we like to take it deeper into East Asia by adding chopped green onions, fried shallots, peanuts, and chili crisp.

Kebab pizza is also good.

I think the biggest thing aboot poutine isnt that poutine is amazing. It's that it unlocked some amazing fusions.

Butter chicken poutine.
Chicken shawarma poutine.
Vindaloo poutine.

It's all good.

If it's saucy and tastes good with cheese, poutine it. It will be amazing.

Chicken Tikka Masala burrito! Holds the sauce so good!

Also, California burritos are fusion? Burrito is a Californian invention, and French fries are pretty American (sorry Belgium).

Edit: apparently I'm mistaken. I was under the impression that burritos were an invention of the California Gold Rush (distinct from tacos and using flour & lard tortillas).

I've seen photos of sushi burritos on menus, but I'm always confused as to how you're supposed to eat it? Do you pick it up and bite into it like a burrito? And it doesn't immediately fall apart?

Isn't that more of a California Roll? Around here, a philly roll is salmon, cream cheese and cucumber, no sauce.

Well it kinda makes sense because novelty usually tastes good, or at least "interesting".

There was a popular video not too long ago about British kids tasting American biscuits for the first time. I'm imagining something similar is happening to our Japanese friends.

Another good version that I learned from a sushi place is cream with a touch of wasabi and salt. So good.

It is, but taste of it combined with the flavors of the Sushi with the kick of the cocktails sauce followed by the citrus tickles from the lemon juice. So good.

Yes I do. It is and it is.

I mean, it's ranch.

If you're gonna be weird about it and go away from soy sauce, use blue cheese.

Grilled unagi is amazing.

Yeah but apple wood smoked eel with Carolina sauce on it, also fuckin amazing
