So whatever you think the best one is from Ashton since it is THE restaurent that made it known to the world.

It's written "Hôpital" in french...  And as for the cheese, cut it in little cubes, works better than shredded or grated cheese^^ In fact in our word for "hospital" there is no "S"… It's written "Hôpital" in french…  And as for the cheese, cut it in little cubes, works better than shredded or grated cheese^^

You won't pronounce the 's' in  L'Hospital, but you can think up an imaginary one in a word as easy at Poutine. But anyways, for an easy way to make it in the states, especially if you're not fond of the idea of cheese curds(honestly the name throws me off), just douse fries in pork or turkey gravy and add shredded Mozzarella. I go to university in New York and that's how they make it. One day I'll try the legitimate version, but to do that, I'm heading up further north. And for that, I need a passport.

You can try to make them fresh again by putting it in a cauldron full of milk. Heating it a little bit, but not to much and after a few minute it will be like fresh cheese curds.

Roux is the last word in thickening stuff.

You can get one in a combo meal instead of fries for a little extra. Any Harvey's or Burger King in Brockville/Prescott should have them.
