There is a local Cajun restaurant in my town that serves Poutine made with Andouille Sausage. Fine eating, but having your cardiologist on speed dial would be a good idea.
You look at the size portions MOST people eat and you can double the following:

There are 513 calories in 1 cup of Poutine.

When I first started going solo to the Q, was when this nation was really talking about getting healthier and stemming the obesity epidemic and the related diseases that accompany it.
With over 40% of adults in the OBESE category, I say we're not winning that battle.
I noticed that the women I saw in Atikokan were much slimmer/fit than I would see in my semi-urban area.
I figured it was due to their rural/outdoor lifestyle.
Then I had a lull due to the recession that kept me away from the park for about 6 yrs.
First thing I noticed was how there was more overweight people in Atikokan than before?
I mentioned that to Q-Dave and he laughed and said " Did you see the DRIVE-THRU Poutine restaurant in town? He said they do gangbuster business all year long.
So enjoy it if you like it, but keep your cardiologist speed dial like MB says if you value your health?
