I was “today” years old when I discovered poutine. I’d had fries with gravy before but poutine is much better! Where has this been all of my life?
Actually a bit of a fusion: birria poutine at the local Biergarten, SO GOOD!

Growing up in New Mexico we have green chile cheese fries instead of poutine. And chile here is not meat and spices, it is a vegetable.
it looks like salsa verde, is it at all similar?
Not at all similar, this is fries, cheese, and chopped New Mexico Green Chile.
yeah I just meant the green chile, how hot is it? they’re not pickled or anything just raw peppers chopped up?
That varies from farm to farm, and how it is grown. Many sell mild, or hot.
Typically they are fire roasted when purchased, then peeled at home.
ooo they sound good!
i usually prefer a little hotter but if those were around everywhere they would definitely go on just about everything I ate lol.
what’s the weirdest thing youve had them in? ice cream or anything of that sort? :)
Anaheim chile is a close analog for NM chiles. They are not the same, but work when the latter is not available (I lived in PA and Maryland without access to green chile for 19 long years).
Green chile peanut brittle might be the weirdest sweet. I have also had green chile lollipops, with and without a scorpion. Most of that kind of stuff is only sold at the tourist traps, so I never really see it unless I am giving someone a tour. I cannot recall ever having green chile ice cream, I would try it though.
Savory-wise green chile fettuccine Alfredo, or a domino’s thin crust pizza with white sauce, feta, spinach, and green chile. It is something my Pathfinder group’s coworker came up while they were trying to order a vegetarian pizza.
Here in New Mexico basically all of the restaurants have green chile (some have red) on the menu. You can have it added to just about anything.
Green chili is the best chili
I have never been interested in Poutine but this looks so damn goood, I would dig into that so fast !
That would be amazing I’ll need to try that. I would be tempted to add dollops of sour cream to that too.
See of you can find Crema (Mexican sour cream) - it’s much better than regular sour cream (for Mexican dishes). It’s thinner, a little salty.
I’ve heard so much about hatch green chilies, but can’t get them here
Not the cheapest route: https://www.hatch-green-chile.com/products/roasted
Maybe you can find Young Guns chile: https://www.yghatchchile.com/
Or Bueno: https://buenofoods.com/store-locator/
Also, keep in mind, not only is Hatch a place, it is also a brand. The brand does not use 100% New Mexico Chile, much less chile grown in Hatch. The Hatch Chile company is a different brand than the one I linked above.
None in my state, but 50 miles, across to the next state
