I grew up eating poutine (it was a local dish in Hamilton) and had no idea it was French Canadian until years later when I went to college... .
Drummondville, Que. - A foie gras poutine served at a festival in the central Quebec town Drummondville confirms the dish's place in the world of haute cuisine.
One of the purported birthplaces of Quebec's best-known dish - the french fry, cheese curd and gravy melange - held its first poutine festival last weekend.
Mario Patry was the professional chef in charge of the Festival de la poutine de Drummondville.
"That's mine, that's my creation," he said of the foie gras poutine being sold.
"People want to eat better and better. And they're connoisseurs."

I'm sorry, but Poutine and Haute Cuisine don't belong in the same sentence (unless you are trying to make some kind of lame rhyme.. as in
"Oh how I love to eat poutine
but my it isn't haute cuisine")
