Duck Fat Poutine Stuffed Fries Is The Most Glorious Dish Ever Put On A Plate

I have to tip my hat to whoever managed to reinvent the poutine. As I've said in the past, simply adding new ingredients to a poutine doesn't create a new dish. The last person who managed such an incredible feat was  @EpicMook when he created the Tornado Poutine.

But now a reddit user has decided that topping fries with cheese and gravy just isn't good enough. So he litterally embedded cheese and gravy onto the fries themselves. Oh and did I mention that these are gloriously large french fries cooked in duck fat?

Photo cred - Diana Haronis

Rice is an amazing food, it's so good you could eat a thousand of them in one sitting. (okay so that's not very impressive, but it sounds good) Rice is cheap, you can find it anywhere and it goes well with everything, but rice isn't as healthy for you as you might think.
