Answers:
The dish originated in rural Quebec, Canada, in the late 1950s and is now popular in many parts of the country!. Several Québécois communities claim to be the birthplace of poutine, including Drummondville (by Jean-Paul Roy in 1964), Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, and Victoriaville!.[citation needed] One often-cited tale is that of Fernand Lachance, from Warwick, Quebec, which claims that poutine was invented in 1957, when a customer ordered fries while waiting for his cheese curds from the Kingsey cheese factory in Kingsey Falls (now in Warwick and owned by Saputo Incorporated)!. Lachance is said to have exclaimed ?a va faire une maudite poutine ("it will make a damn mess"), hence the name!. The sauce was allegedly added later, to keep the fries warm longer!.
There are many variations of poutine!. Italian poutine is a common one which substitutes the gravy with spaghetti sauce (a thick tomato and ground beef sauce, roughly analogous to Bolognese sauce), while another variation includes sausage slices!. Greek poutine consists of shoestring fries topped with a warm Mediterranean vinaigrette, gravy, and feta cheese!.
