As a matter of fact, I believe the cheese is to be placed on the fries first then covered with hot gravy. If it tastes good to you, it is good poutine. But what do I know... Eh? LOL

NY Fries is doing some weird things with 'Poutine', including bacon bits, onion, sour cream, and my son got an order that didn't even have gravy. THAT is sacrilegious!!

OK, I thought I'd remembered reading somewhere that there was some nickname or slang that incorporated "squeak" because when you chewed through the curds, if they were fresh, they would squeak, but maybe I'm wrong.
