Wow, French fries, you'd never know it if...

You get your Poutines Canned, as my grandparents
used to. In case you're worrying about canned fries, don't.
It's even worse. These, the Poutines Rapee, are mutant
poutines that end up like the pierogie or the chinese dumpling.

Compressed (often in a cheesecloth wrapper) cooked mass of
potato with a caloric mass in the center, usually something like
pork, but it could be anything sufficiently gross. The idea with
poutine, je pense, is that it supplies maximum calories to help
a person to survive tha Canadian winter.

The bottom of this page talks about this mutant

"the greyish colour and gluey texture of the poutines makes
them appear somewhat unappetizing..."

Serve with Moosehead (the beer, not the animal part).
