Ketchup with macaroni and cheese?

[Tom_Radigan]

Everyone who's never tried poutine are always like "eeew, I hate poutine". Also I wouldn't expect you americans to understand the almost lustful draw of this dish.

Have you tried a deep-fried Mars candy bar? It was invented as a joke, but people demand and eat them.

No, but I would. I figure I'll try just about anything at least once when it comes to food. Except steak tar-tar.

I don't know, poutine seems kind of tasty to me.

I had to look it up on wikipedia... It doesn't seem that bad really, cheese curds are rather bland, and I would rather have them than mayonaisse on my fries. I actually like gravy on fries as well. I'm from Jersey, so Texas weiner places serve this kind of thing, except the sauce has meat in it as well. I've seen some places melt cheese on them. And I would never think of getting my fries without the gravy-like sauce when provided. So I would give poutine a try and I fully understand that "lustful" draw.

By the way this is a Texas weiner for those of you who don't know:

It is a godly creation from the city I was born in. What sucks is I happen to live in the one county where there are NO PLACES TO GET THE DAMN THING! So I always make to go to a place called the Hot Grill, everytime I go to Clifton to visit relatives.

Also, this is the order of wiki articles I went through when looking at the poutine:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyros
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%B6ner_kebab
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_region_of_China
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Islamic_cuisine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaolin_Sect
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_%28staff%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jian
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dao_%28sword%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabre

So I suppose that the sabre is the ninth degree of separation to the poutine? I mean I can understand if some people want their stomachs gutted after eating some...

a texas dog is a dog with JUST chili or hot sauce?

here in carolina we eat our hot dogs with chili, mustard and slaw (and onions too but that depends on if they offer them).

I can't believe this thread is still going.

That sounds frickin delicious actually.

[Dr. Sticks]

I remember years ago seeing a TV show where passersby on a public sidewalk were invited to sample from very smelly cheese. Most people refused, but the ones who actually ate it didn't dislike the taste.

Could it be that people who dislike the smell are likely to dislike the taste and people who like the smell are likely to like the taste? No, impossible.

I think the idea was that nobody liked the smell, but some people braved how it smelled to try the cheese anyway. Ever tried Limburger cheese, infamous for its odor?

Not quite. A real texas weiner has finely diced onions and spicy brown (not yellow) mustard, with a sauce that is almost but not quite unlike chili... Not sure where the article got the hot sauce thing from... And to be honest I've only seen or heard of them being served in the Northeast of the state. I've just assumed its a state wide thing, but apparently its not. Also, the spices used in the sauce aren't southwestern at all. They are generally warm spices such as allspice are used. Also as a general rule the HOT DOGS ARE FRIED!
