Manx delicacy
chips, cheese and gravy. Together.

If you've never been to the Isle of Man you probably have no idea what this is all about. It's one of those things where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts...

If any of you lot is coming over for the TT this year, you have to try it after a visit to the Bushy's tent - heaven :)

In Canada...
we call it poutine. the cheese should be cheese curds, though. it's fabulous drunk food.

wouln't surprise me if it was a Manxman that introduced it to Canada, not in the slightest...

Hopefully I'll be going to Canada in about 18 months, I'm looking forward to trying it when I get there. Blind steaming drunk, naturally...

special?
i dont think you really have to go to the isle of man to get a portion of staple drunk food - its not fucking weird or wacky or way out thee is it? it is simply chips with gravy and cheese - if you have ever been to norn iron you have to go to banbridge/newry/south down and sample a super chip with cheese from Friar Tucks - their chicken gravy is particularly special.
But yes, i mean no, stop thinking the isle of man is special for this culinary delight,m as it is not by any stretch of the imagination

'Right yessir!
I wholeheartedly concur. I would also recommend going up to Ramsey for a pasty.

It's best...
in the province of quebec. not that you asked, but the etymology is that poutine is believed to be a french bastardization of the word pudding, because that's what the texture of the stuff is like if done properly. some silly posh places add foie gras to it, but the only acceptable addition is montreal-style smoked meat (similar to pastrami/corned beef).
