That looks pretty good tbh. Like mixing corn and peas into your mashed potatoes and gravy.

I’m Canadian though, we have a fries and gravy bias.

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

I'm not Canadian, but the first thing I thought was poutine. Add some cheese curds and I'd give this a try.

[-] hihellobyeoh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Is it bad I want to try it? But yeah it definitely needs cheese curds, maybe some pulled pork too.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Is that gravy or BBQ sauce?

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Ok this is new evidence.

If it’s barbecue sauce it’s off.

[-] FiniteBanjo 3 points 1 month ago

I'd still take it if it were barbecue sauce, tbh.

Would that change anything?

I love me some fries and BBQ sauce. The corn, yeah alright I'll dance with the devil.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Gravy. Though BBQ sauce wouldn't be much worse.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Owen, we talked about this at the last Canada meeting.

The one where I proposed that simple gravy and fries is better than poutine.

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 26 points 1 month ago

No crimes detected. Would eat and enjoy. It's not a proper poutine, would be improved by cheese curds, but impossible to be bad.

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

I'm almost certain that's barbecue sauce. Gravy doesn't look like that

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 9 points 1 month ago

A disturbing possibility which reopens a case I thought long closed.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

A Chinese Pizzaria that I worked at added "Chinese Poutine" to the menu. Instead of cheese curds we just used the pizza cheese, and instead of gravy it got brown sauce. So fries, beef grounds, chicken pieces, brown sauce, cheese. Send that halfway through the oven, top with green onion. The Canadians that tried it said, "well it's good, but definitely not poutine."

[-] lemmynparty@lemmings.world 6 points 1 month ago

What do you mean? That looks like completely normal gravy to me.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Honestly makes it sound better

[-] BanjoShepard@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

The food doesn't look good, but as a Nebraskan, I'm just happy to see Iowa out here taking shots.

[-] Imprudent3449@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

On the other hand, you do have to live in Nebraska. :)

Oh God, it sounds horrible.

[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Let's call this "Putin". It's kinda like poutine but also a crime against humanity.

[-] dogsnest@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

That would actually hit well....

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Send it over to /c/weedtime - they'd destroy it.

[-] Astongt615@lemmy.one 6 points 1 month ago

All y'all out here saying this looks good have never had decent gravy. But I agree better versions of the components put together make for a great non-nutritious snack after a night out.

[-] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

non-nutritious

It has carbs, what more could you need?

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I bet you it's 🔥

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Looks like what people who don't know what cheese is might think poutine is by looking at a bad picture

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

I used to do this with mashed potatoes.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Y’all down for this - for fries this soggy?

[-] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 3 points 1 month ago

Corn chips!

[-] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

This food is just a rental.

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Looks a whole lot like a garbage plate from a different state, I don't discriminate.

[-] Ptsf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I've never personally seen this as a Des Moines resident for 25+ years, but I do think it would go down well at our fairgrounds. Can't imagine anyone regularly ordering or cooking it though as generally people tend to prefer mashed potatoes or soft foods (meatloaf?) when gravy is involved.

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 month ago

As long as it hasn't been sitting for the fries to get doggy, that looks awesome

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That's disguising.

Where are the beans?

[-] MacNCheezus 2 points 1 month ago
[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That looks bomb and I'd eat the fuck out of it.

[-] MacNCheezus 1 points 1 month ago

Too bad it’s AI but feel free to recreate it IRL

[-] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

mmmm teriyaki corn fries

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

PA native... I'd eat the hell out of that.
