Origin

The poutine finds its origin in the rural Quebec of the Années 1950 and since became popular everywhere with the Quebec. Its exact origin is very discussed. However, several agree to say that it comes from the area of the Wood-Francs, in the Center-of-Quebec. The fact that it comes from this area is rather easy to include/understand: it then comprised a great manufacturing number of cheese dairies of the cheese Cheddar in grains.

Several precise places dispute the origin of the poutine:

the most widespread history is that it would come from a restaurant formerly called the Imp who laughs with Warwick, close to Victoriaville. According to the legend, a customer named Jean-Guy Lainesse asked the owner Fernand Lachance, of fried potatos and cheese in grains in a paper bag, as one served sometimes chips at the time, and the owner would have answered That will make cursed a poutine , from where the name which wants to say strange mixture .
a restaurant of Drummondville called Roy Jucep claims to have been the first to market it and even recorded a domain name protesting this right. Jean-Paul Roy, owner of the restaurant Roy Jucep in 1964, is the first to have served the poutine as it today is known i.e. fried potatos, cheese and sauce . From where the fact that it clamp being the first to have marketed it but not the inventor. The name would come from a mixture of a deformation from the English word pudding and nickname from the cook; Ti-Pout.
Of other cities also protests in being the origin.
Mr Roy would have, according to his testimony, started to serve cheese with chips and sauce after the regular request of 3 people. It thus grants the real invention to them but these three people would have taken the idea of the cheese dairy of Warwick. Mr Roy is deceased in August 2007 at the 74 years age.

The poutine is considered better when it contains cheese in fresh grain of the day. The area of the Wood-Francs comprises a great number of cheese dairies manufacturing this particular cheese. When it is very fresh, this cheese takes the popular name then of cheese which makes skouick-skouick , indicating the characteristic noise when this cheese comes into contact with the teeth, which produces is very required by the amateurs of poutine.

Etymology

This word exists in Acadie and in Louisiana, with similar significances, it seems that it is about an adaptation of the word English pudding . Moreover, one finds this word in the dictionary Canadian-French of Oscar Dunn, published at the end of the 19th century, with the significance of “pudding”. In French-speaking Louisiana, poutine is the word used to mean pouding . The word is of English origin, where it is always used to mean any dessert which follows a meal.
