    Description

    by Sylvain Charlebois (Author)

    Poutine Nation traces the evolution of poutine from its origins in rural Quebec to its status as a global phenomenon. Though it was once dismissed as lowbrow junk food, poutine has now earned a place in fine dining, fast food chains, and global pop culture.


    Through a mix of history, cultural analysis, and personal anecdotes, Poutine Nation examines the social and economic forces behind food trends, exploring why some dishes fade into obscurity while others, like poutine, become beloved worldwide.


    With a keen eye for detail and a touch of humour, leading food scientist Dr. Sylvain Charlebois investigates poutine's role in Quebec's cultural identity, its place in Canada's culinary landscape, and the politics surrounding its success. He also explores the evolution of food trends, the psychology of taste, and the ways in which poutine's global popularity reflects broader changes in how we eat and connect through food.
