French fries (or a fried potato of some kind) topped with cheese curds and gravy is the basis for a classic Quebecois poutine, and while the quintessential Canadian bar snack is good as-is, the riffs on the national dish can be stellar.
Poutine cravings can come along at anytime, but Vancouverites who don't mind clogging an artery or two may want to direct their attention to nine delicious days this fall when eating poutine can actually do some good in the community.
Poutine With Purpose is a popular week-long fundraising event that began in Calgary, and has since expanded to Victoria. Now Poutine With Purpose will聽聽this fall.
