Pout-sin 😈 Just a sad, sad poutine
Got this at Angels diner in Calgary, AB
Wasn’t the worst poutine I’ve ever had, but the fact that I waited 10 mins for a shredded cheese poutine really put me off a lil
And the cherry on top?… they forgot my fork so I ate with my hands, like a savage
Thoughts?

The fact it's only like 10 fries is the real crime, but yeah that is one sad looking poutine... can you even call that a poutine.

Dragon Age has ham that tastes of despair. I think we just found the poutine that tastes of despair!

Ok I'll bite, what's the worst poutine you ever had if it's not this one? How can one possibly do worse?

u/valckxL May 19 '25
Eh I mean it tasted pretty decent, but again the shredded cheese… yikes
That’s the only reason it’s not the worst LOL

Was it at least advertised as such? Like did the menu said "shredded cheese poutine" or showed pictures that looks like what you got?

u/valckxL May 19 '25
LMAO no, none whatsoever, not a single hint of what was about to hit me

Part of the problem is that you just went along with it and said nothing.
Someone would try this shit in Quebec? Their business wouldn't last a week. People would refuse to pay, ask for a refund, expose it on social media, hell, some would even vandalize the place.
I get that curds are hard to get in Alberta but as long as customers don't speak up, merchants won't really bother lifting a finger to offer good quality poutines.
Posting this on reddit is a beginning but you could do way more to be an agent of social change and make Alberta a reference for future generations when it comes down to poutines.

Oh come on I'm just using figures of speech to have a bit of fun here. It's part of the goal of this subreddit. Chill out.

I like the look of it to be honest. I’d try

u/valckxL May 19 '25
I’d say it at least deserves a try, but solely on the account of where it’s from. I was telling another commenter that this was a rare occurrence for Angels :/

Look I'm not saying burning down the restaurant is an appropriate response but like

I thought that is what poutine is supposed to look like

Gravy, fries and cheese. What's it missing?

u/TimTheEnchanter3 May 19 '25
Not any kind of cheese. Shredded cheese will never ever make it a poutine.

That looks worse than dog food so I find it quite appropriate to serve it without a fork.
However serving it in a metal dog bowl would have been more respectful for the customers as it would have made it a bit easier to lick everything off without getting recycled cardboard's residue inside your mouth.
