I ate poutine on my second trip to Canada. It's the only "canadian" food that I know of, so I was very excited to try it.  I tried it. It was disgusting. I don't know why I expected it to be any good. It was sooooooo greasy and the gravy tasted like oil and the fries were soggy (duh!). I only finished it because someone else had paid for it after I had begged them to try it. I felt like throwing up for the rest of the day.
