      Actually it’s a Canadian favourite from Quebec. It’s called poutine. Chips (fries), gravy and hard cheese curds. Don’t know if that’s the way you made it. Delicious. Will make you very fat, though.

         Yeah, that's the new term in NYC for them.
         
         The original term is "poutine"....
         
         also, disco fries are made with two slices of processed cheese (yuck!)
         
         whereas
         
         poutine is made with real cheese curds.
         
         The taste and texture is much, much better the original way!

            Poutine is from Quebec. It's not standard gravy either, in the original... it is a special recipe based on chicken broth (or something like that I think)

               You are correct.  The broth is thickened into gravy consistency.
               
               This dish is easily made at home, and can be made to be less fattening. 
               
               I'm not promoting myself, but.... the history of poutine is in my Canadian Invention's hub.

    Whereabouts in the UK do you live Sophs? I always thought chips with gravy was a Northern thing, I hadn't heard of it until I moved up there. Havent had it, but I imagine it's pretty good.
    
    When I was at school everyone used to eat chips, cheese and beans. I don't like beans so I never had it, but it was pretty big.
    
    I generally only eat cheesy chips when I'm drunk, they taste much better then!!

    I believe the chips are fries and here in FL we have them covered and smothered. Gravy, cheese, onions. If for breakfast though I opt for sausage gravy and cheese. Shoot, now I'm hungry.
