We are on a quest for the best poutine in Canada! Surprise, Surprise!
[Poutine, for those of you not in the know, is a Canadian creation that consists of French fries covered with cheese curds and smothered in gravy.]
Years ago, we had some awesome poutine at a restaurant in Jasper. We revisited it on this trip. The poutine was okay, but not like we remembered.
But now in Regina, Saskatchewan, we had great poutine at Leopold’s Tavern. Dianne had “Smoked Meat Poutine – the Best of Montreal and Quebec Combined in One” – with artery clogging bacon, Canadian bacon and fries smothered in beef gravy and white cheddar curds. MMMMMM!
I had “Jalapeno Poppers Poutine,” which was a spicy, south of two borders taste treat.
Both were pretty awesome, and neither of us could finish them all. The best poutine competition is going to be tough as we make our way across “The Great White North.”
We’re having a great time and seeing some incredible sights: Canadian Rockies, the badlands of Alberta and grasslands of Saskatchewan. Internet has been very sparse at the places we’ve stayed, but we have a bit better connection here in Regina for a few days.
