What is a dish whose component parts you all like individually, but put together as a dish you think is nasty? (lemmy.ml)

Italian Poutine.

Actual poutine is great.
Spaghetti sauce is great.
But a Poutine where you replace the gravy with spaghetti sauce, no.

eww what, is that an actual thing?!

First generation montrealer here of Italian descent: that sauce is a bastardized Greek meat sauce, there is nothing remotely spaghetti or Italian about it.

I actually love Italian poutine for what it is, but I would never put that sauce on spaghetti or call a sauce that routinely contains cinnamon and oregano an Italian sauce.

Agreed, my comment would be said with the words "Italian" and "spaghetti" in airquotes.

Never seen one with cinnamon, then again I just don't order those.
I'll have to check with my gf who does.

Bro. Bro.

Belle province, all dressed steamies and an "Italian" Poutine. My god.

Sure as fuck ain't Italian or a good meat sauce but as a combo that shit slaps.

Fuck yes! Michigan hotdogs covered in chopped onions and cayenne too.

Oh so it’s Cincinnati spaghetti chili?

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

Haha from what I've heard it's exactly that.

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

I don’t eat meat anymore but I’m from Cincy and do occasionally crave a 5 way, hell even a 4 or 3 way (yes seriously that’s what our iconic company for this dish calls its dishes, skyline knows what they’re doing). My wife would fucking love this as a poutine as it sounds like it’s just a 3 way with fries instead of spaghetti.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Usually it's fries, curds, fries, curds, sauce. Cheapo places won't double up the curds but the good places definitely do. If that's what you have in mind you guys should roll by Montreal.

I had to look up what poutine was, and I can assure you that we don't have anything like that in Italy
