Poutine might be a Canadian classic, but these globally inspired versions prove there’s more than one way to load up fries. With ingredients and flavours drawn from different cultural traditions across Canada, this roundup celebrates the diverse communities that make up the country, one cheesy, saucy bite at a time.
