From Vagabonds in Anacortes, WA.
And just for good measure, poutine tots. Lot more poutine in this corner of the country than I expected.
C’est quoi c’te tas de marde là?
Are there any decent alternative for curds? In my country they are impossible to find and importing food is such a pain in the butt. Will something like burrata or buffalo moz work as a somewhat decent alternative?
curds are a nonmelting squeaky cheese product. Paneer is the closest thing I can think of. Farmers cheese/quark maybe?
Canadian poutine eater here… IMO sadly there is no substitute for the curds. They are just texturally unique. It’s quite important considering it’s one of only three ingredients.
I know your pain though, I was living in the states for a bit and it was basically impossible to get good poutine. If I wanted it I had to make it myself, which meant a long trip to Tillamook to buy cheese curds from the source direct.
Looks a little weak, to be honest. As a fellow Western Washingtonian, I was hoping it would look good and give me a reason to go. But those fries are skinny and sad and the curds are lacking.
They fresh-cut the potatoes to order. Yep, a little thin but very fresh. Closest I’ve gotten here in the US to Canadian poutine fries are actually the fries from Five Guys. I’m just here on vacation for the week (from Arizona) and saw this on the menu. It was actually pretty good tasting. Fries were similar to In N Out actually.
The place used to be a food truck. I didn’t get anything else but before we head back I might return and try something else off the menu. 4.5/5 on Yelp which is why we went.
A little skimpy on the cheese curds.
Poutines should always be piled high with cheese curds. You should talk with your local lawmakers.
