Poutine sauce from Canada

Quebec poutine and its history

From the word poutine, it's clear that this meal is a Quebec invention. Marie-Rose Dubuc, a descendant of two French colonizers, invented this dish in the late 1950s to use up old bread and cheese. She created it in her grandfather's restaurant in Sainte-Foy, Quebec.

Ms. Dubuc has been nicknamed the "queen of poutine," credited with creating the dish that has become Canada's national dish. Whatever you call it, this concoction is ubiquitous in Quebec and has been made famous in countless films and television shows.
