Poutine

Pronunciation: Peut-zhyn (never P00-teen -that would be the poor excuse for real Poutine, often served in Ontario)

A meal originating in the Eastern Townships of Quebec in the mid 20th century. Poutine tastes best when made from hand-cut potato fries, fresh Quebec curd cheese, and barbeque gravy.

Poutine can also be served in other ways:
Italienne: with tomato sauce rather than gravy
Galvaude: by adding green peas and chicken to the regular poutine
And many other variations.

I went to the fromagerie (cheese factory) for lunch and had a great poutine. The cheese was so fresh that it squeaked!

Poo-Teen

1. Incorrect pronunciation of the word Poutine. Usually used by english Canadians living outside of Quebec.

2. A version of Poutine served outside of Quebec. Generally made with inferior curd cheese or shredded chedder. Sometimes used in a derisive fashion.

1. I'll have combo #1 with a Pepsi, but can I get Poo-Teen instead of fries?

2. Gross! The cheese in my Poo-Teen is shredded and melted into the fries!

Nickname of a child named Matthew, too young to pronouce his name correctly.

Little Matthew could not pronounce his name. He always said "Ma-foo", so he became known as "Foo".
