When I visit my hometown in Quebec, I try to make it a point to visit my local casse-croûte – a cross between a diner and a fast food restaurant. In our town, that place is call Buffet St-Martin.
During my stay home a couple weeks ago, I opted to forego my usual standard, poutine, for its fancy cousin, the galvaude. For those unfamiliar with poutine, it’s a dish of French fries, topped with squeaky cheddar cheese curds then smothered in brown gravy. Is there a more perfect food? Perhaps only if this dish was enhanced with white meat chicken and small peas! That’s a galvaude.
I urge you to try one if you visit Quebec – it’s comfort food at its best.
Cheers,
Veronique
