Poutine is not a Montreal invention. Two persons are said to be its inventor, one in Warwick, one in Drummondville.
Nobody knows for sure. Lafleur restaurants certainly invented nothing...

Here's an interesting link on the origins, and proper preparation, of poutine: http://members.shaw.ca/kcic1/poutine.html

I love, love, love squeaky cheese curds, but for some reason I just can't wrap my mind (or tongue) around poutine...may have something to do with, as Grant said, it being a heart attack in a bowl.

Of course, the first time I tried them was at a New York Fries shop at a mall in the GTA - probably not the best source for top-shelf poutine.
