The Back Story
Well, it's not a word in the dictionary, but when all else fails there is always Wikipedia ;). This word isn't one I've found by myself. I can't take credit for that. That'd be the odd looking feller in the office who sent me a link after noticing my lunch for the past few months (One of my many stalkers).

What I can take credit for is perhaps the meaning. That's right, I was the first person in the history of mankind to put these two magical things -- cheese & chips -- together. I'm only kidding. Actually, I'd be rather proud of that. Never mind.

What I can say is that if I asked 100 people that knew me well to list 5 things that they could relate to me. I would say "Cheese & Chips" would be pretty high on that resultant list, quite likely in the Top 5.

The poutine is from it's description, something I've been trying to imitate for years, ()the curd rather than cheese is imperative, though the gravy is not). I should probably look into this gravy thing next too, I don't believe I've ever had any of that stuff, Anyway, back to poutine, it would seem. In Canadia (aka Canada), it's quite a common fast food meal sold by many of the commercial fast food moguls, not here though, that or maybe I've not been paying attention -- I'll keep my open now though, for sure ... and on that note I think I'll cue the music.
