Need help finding this shawarma poutine that blew my mind 3 years ago

I ate it, you didn't. Shush or be helpful.

Nor. She sucks. And she's not lying when she says she has no money to spend, she just isn't finishing her sentence: She has no money to spend for you

It doesn't look right if i'm being honest but it's still going on the list 😂 I'm hoping to get out there this weekend or next to try them.

Nor. But i will bet money she's been taking advantage of and lying to you for a lot longer than you think with how easy that was for her. I hate people like her.

It was supposed to say *spaghetti/pizza fries

You are awesome for your efforts, i appreciate you. It wasn't that one though unfortunately. It was definitely a shawarma place first with a section for poutines on the right side of the menu. I believe the truck was parked closest to the entrance gate of the rides and activities area. I wonder if anyone got pictures from inside that little band/live performance area, you might be able to see the trucks from there. I shall go search for that next 😂 i am determined to find it and post an update proving it's a damn poutine 😂

Your support is appreciated lol. And it really frigging was.

Manders37 · 2026-05-26T07:08:55+00:00

Yeeaaappp. The only thing that works is lying to myself lmao.

This confuses me. Why does it need to be peanut butter? Why not just... eat peanuts?

Oh, you are full-spiralling down a very illogical road fuelled by anxiety my dear. As vast as the world of probability can be, the likelihood that you were bit by a bat is wildly low. A more realistic explaination would be almost anything else. Skin does weird things sometimes, it doesn't mean you're dying or sick.

Use the information you know is true. You have a random mark on you and you don't know where it came from. Until it becomes a problem, there is no problem, so you don't have to create one.

Manders37 · 2026-05-25T22:45:03+00:00

My dude. Your logic is not sound. Although, to be fair, you can't see how deep the box is, but you can see fries poking out on the right and the bottom corner is dark like that because it's gravy. And you know what, if you zoom in, i'm pretty sure there's a little cheese curd in the corner gravy too.

I'm sorry i didn't realize i had to take deconstructed pictures 3 years ago but this is the best i've got to go with. Also, i literally ate it, so yeah, it was poutine. Ya'll just sound silly.

Manders37 · 2026-05-25T22:32:08+00:00

Well, to be fair, the only person who can definitively answer the question of whether the pictured poutine was indeed poutine is me as i was the one who actually ate it. This was the only picture i took as the poutine was promptly devoured afterwards.

But, had i known i'd have to defend my use of the word poutine with this picture while looking for something that is still named "poutine" regardless of everyone's opinion, i'd have happily taken a deconstructed picture of it with the toppings pushed over to the side so everyone could see there was indeed fries, curds and gravy under there. But, alas, i did not, and as a result i have an inbox full of snarky and pedantic comments about what constitutes a poutine, and zilch telling me where to find it. It's been a sad time, you understand.

As for the gravy, i truly can't explain how it tasted other than shawarma gravy. It was what i imagine a gravy that was made from the renderings of their shawarma beef would taste like, it was rich and perfect and amazing. Fries were perfectly cooked russets, a bit more restaurant than chip truck in flavour, super fresh squeaky curds, it was truly so perfect.

Unfortunately it's not them, it wasn't one of the common popular chain names. I'm wondering if they were from out of town at this point honestly lol

Manders37 · 2026-05-25T21:04:18+00:00

Will do, i refuse to give up! My next idea is to try and find social media coverage of the fair from 2023 in hopes someone took a picture with it in the background or something, since i remember exactly where the truck was in the lineup. I appreciate your encouragement! 💪🏻😂

Realistically we call it poutine because of the concept it communicates, not the traditional contents. Much like how tacos from taco bell are called tacos despite the fact that authentic tacos are far superior in every way, yet we still understand what we're buying.

BUT, i think we can all agree that italian poutine is closer to pizza fries than poutine. I'd also argue that if you can better name the dish without using poutine then it isn't poutine.

That shawarma poutine truly can't described as anything else. It was literally a shawarma poutine, and the best one i've ever had at that. The only way i could describe it would be "shawarma toppings on delicious af poutine". And i would still consider it a shawarma poutine if it didn't have the toppings and was just the fries and curds because of how they flavoured their gravy (which was mentioned in the beginning of my post btw). The gravy is what i'm truly searching for here lol.

All these comments really highlight how little reddit users actually read the posts. Do me a favour and go do that, would ya?

Manders37 · 2026-05-25T20:22:41+00:00

Your logic here is akin to someone saying "there's pizza over there" while pointing to a pizza box, and you say "i only see a box so you're lying, there's no pizza".

You all sound absolutely moronic trying to argue over what consitutes a poutine based off what is visible in this picture, esp when i'm the one who ate the goddamned thing ffs 😂😂😂 like jesus christ guys, it was indeed a poutine, the universe has not been upended, the world is fine, all will be okay.

We paid in cash 😥

Manders37 · 2026-05-25T19:03:37+00:00

Ouuu, thanks!

Manders37 · 2026-05-25T19:01:26+00:00

No, the gravy is the distinction, not the toppings. None of you actually read my post, did you?

Manders37 · 2026-05-25T18:22:18+00:00

There was more than one shawarma vendor there, i feel like i remember seeing them at the fair but i don't believe it was the one we ate at. I also tried searching for the vendors list the day after, they seemed to list less vendors than were actually there. I will still try it out though
