Poutine
This one can seem like an irresistible edible nightmare to folks who usually refrain from having high calorie items, because the main ingredients of Poutine include french fries or chips, cheese curds and gravy. The taste delivered by the wonderfully weird combination of the ingredients is bound to titillate the taste buds of any foodie. Instead of having a cheesy taste, the cheese curds possess a slight rubbery texture, and that is what blends fantastically with the gravy and chips.
