The dish originated in rural Québec, Canada in the late 1950s and is now popular all over the country. Several communities claim to be the origin of poutine, including Drummondville, Québec (by Jean-Pierre Roy) and Victoriaville, Québec. The most popular tale is the one of Fernand Lachance, from Warwick, Quebec, which claims that poutine was invented in 1957, when a customer ordered fries while waiting for his cheese curds from the Kingsey cheese factory in Kingsey Falls (now in Warwick and bought by Saputo). Lachance is said to have exclaimed ça va faire une maudite poutine ("it will make a hell of a mess"), hence the name. The sauce was allegedly added later, to keep the fries warm longer. Linguists have found no occurrence of the word poutine with this meaning earlier than 1978.
There are many variations of poutine. A common variation, Italian poutine, substitutes gravy with "spaghetti sauce" (a thick tomato and ground beef sauce, roughly analogous to Bolognese sauce), while another popular variation includes sausage slices. Greek poutine consists of shoestring fries topped with feta cheese and a warm Mediterranean vinaigrette.
Some restaurants boast a dozen or more variations of poutine. For instance, you may find more upscale poutine with three-pepper sauce, Merguez sausage, foie gras or even caviar and truffle. Another variation, poutine Galvaude, includes shredded chicken and green peas, often eliminating the cheese — this mimics the typical Québécois preparation of a hot chicken sandwich. When ordering a fast food combination meal in eastern Canada, you can pay extra to get your french fries replaced with a poutine. Note that fast food poutine is considered "fake poutine" by poutine afficionados, as the freshness or the kind of cheese (a common substitution is grated cheese) is not the same as in Québec where you can usually buy fresh cheese curds daily in almost any convenience store.
The etymology of the word is a subject of much debate in Québec. Many believe that it may be an adaptation of the English word pudding, the word being attested from the end of the 19th century in Oscar Dunn's Canadian French dictionary with the meaning of pudding, and with similar meanings in Acadian French and Cajun French. Some marginal Quebecer linguists think that the word evolved from Provençal poutingo, which means bad stew, under the phonetic influence of English pudding (if so, this would possibly be the only Provençal word to have penetrated the modern Quebec French lexicon). However, the Québec office of the French Language (Office québécois de la langue française) states this is not true.
