Gloves | 11,791 Administrator · Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 1 hour ago, Link said: https://www.gardnerswisconsincheese.com/products/cheese-curds Those would work perfectly, yep. I've not actually ever left Canada, but I have to imagine that poutine is popular enough outside of Canada at this point. Beyond poutine, cheese curds are a nice little snack by themselves (microwave 'em like that site says!). I have to imagine they're relatively common at least in big box stores outside of Canada.

Poutine is awesome, but there is practically no way to procure it elsewhere. And yes, I've looked into how to make those cheese curds before for this same reason Edit: for anyone else interested https://cheesemaking.com/products/cheese-curds-recipe Edited March 2 by Sumez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular enough that fried cheese curds are on quite a few pub menus around the USA. Hell, Dairy Queen sells them! I bought cheese curds from a Taiwanese chicken chain, TKK Fried Chicken @fcgamer. Poutine you don't see quite as often, mostly in diners with Quebec roots around here. That being said poutine is delicious. And you are correct that fresh mozzarella makes a good substitute in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickman | 3,994 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 6 hours ago, Gloves said: It's illegal to purchase cheese online? Yes it can be very hard for some countries. Australia is very strict on cheese imports. When I went to the Netherlands I had to fill out some paperwork when purchasing it so I could bring it back with me. It was so worth it though. Some of the best cheese I’ve ever had. I’m with Sumez, this cheese you’re talking about I’ve never seen here either. I think I have seen Poutine here once or twice in an American inspired restaurant but I’d be surprised if they’re using these cheese curds you’re referring to unless they were making them by hand themselves or maybe mozarella substitute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you just intentionally being stubborn now? Being stubborn? I suggested just using mozzarella. As I said I've never left Canada, I have no clue about importing cheese. My only neighboring country is America and they can keep their cheese. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,967 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I've considered using mozzarella curds, which are of course very easy to come by (and generally what you'll find if you search for it in any store in Europe), but you're probably the first Canadian I've met who would even consider accepting that as a substitute I'd say a big part of the reason why poutine is as notorious as it is, really is that it's as local to Canada as it is. You really won't find it anywhere else. I just found a German webshop selling them (branded with a massive Canadian flag lol), probably the only place in Europe. Not sure if they ship here, but if they do that's really overkill haha. Its not in stock anyway. I'm genuinely interested in trying to make them myself.

Link | 2,714 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) fucking... somehow posted before I was done STEK I've been reading about and vaguely wanting to try cooking steak for a while. Never had a reason 'til now but I had ideas. So I made steak 3 ways. And potatoes 2 ways and 1 side of asparagus to accompany them. Mise en place! Seasoned, room temperature steak! I used eye of round. It's one of the cheapest cuts of full steak. Reduced red wine sauce, and cubed potatoes Full plate with three ways, and including the second potato (toasted mashed) The third one finished last and I cut it too soon, but the others kept the juice in. Overall I think I can cook steak now. Sage, garlic, and mushroom in everything (except the asparagus and third steak), thyme in the butter and potatoes. There were also mushrooms in the sauces. 1: pan cooked in red wine. 2. pan cooked in butter. 3. oven cooked briefly at 500°, with more time turned off but still in the residual heat. Glasses: bourbon old fashioned, more red wine. Edited March 4 by Link 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
