 ©Eater By Aaron Zaretsky In mid-20th Century Quebec, Canada, a culinary revolution began: cheese curds on French fries. Like peanut butter and chocolate, the odd combination of cheese curds and French fries became a crowd pleaser. The cheesy goodness item was called 50-50: a mixture of 50% cheese curds and 50% fries.

Popularity ensued, and when large restaurant chains sold this hot commodity, the menu name was changed to “poutine”.
