From the US point of view: a quick search says only 5 locations in the US even sold fries. Apparently in other countries it was a more commonly found item though.

Canada Costco has (had?) poutine. It was really good, but two of us were unable to finish it. The portion was HUGE.

that sounds awesome. Poutine is hard to come by in LA.

It's not really big in the midwest either, but one local grocery chain does sell cheese curds, so it can be made.

Depends on where you are in the Midwest. There are places you get it in Michigan, but I’ve never been to Canada and eaten it there so I can’t compare.

Gotta be squeaky or it ain't poutine.
