  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.

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 6 months ago (1 children)

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 6 months 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 6 months ago (3 children)

Is that gravy or BBQ sauce?

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ok this is new evidence.

If it’s barbecue sauce it’s off.

[–] FiniteBanjo 3 points 6 months 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 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months 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 6 months ago (1 children)

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 6 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months 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 6 months ago

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

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Honestly makes it sound better

[–] BanjoShepard@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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 6 months ago (1 children)

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

Oh God, it sounds horrible.

[–] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That would actually hit well....

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

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

[–] Astongt615@lemmy.one 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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 6 months ago

non-nutritious

It has carbs, what more could you need?

Tomato-tomato

I bet you it's 🔥

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months 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 6 months ago
[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

I used to do this with mashed potatoes.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

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

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 3 points 6 months ago

Corn chips!

[–] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

This food is just a rental.

[–] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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

[–] Ptsf@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months 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 6 months ago

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

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

That's disguising.

Where are the beans?

[–] MacNCheezus 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] MacNCheezus 1 points 6 months ago

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

[–] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

mmmm teriyaki corn fries

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

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