2. NO ADVERTISING
This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.
3. NO MEMES
4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD

I'm going to be as polite as I can be here.
This is a delicious looking hors d'oeuvre. I would very proud to present such a thing, even to my own belle-mère. It looks succulent, hearty, and beautifully executed.
What this is NOT is poutine. Or anything even approximating a poutine. This (delicious, succulent) MONSTROSITY has none of the elements of a poutine. Think you can replace cheese curds by slapping a nice block o cheddar on there? Think again jack.
This is like a business executive saying he's gone super punk rock because he got a Coldplay tattoo. The point has been entirely missed.
Let your cooking be the delicious...whatever that it is. You leave poutine alone.
All true! - I can't/won't defend myself! Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
But by way of further explanation, the faux French and intentional pretentiousness was in the context of yet another boring and unimaginative office party centered around bad take-out Chinese food and pizza. Walking around cubicle-land wearing a chef's jacket, wielding a blowtorch and formally serving these - whatever they should be called - was just part of the fun. 🙂
Calling it "amélioré" (with a grammatical error) is extra salt in the wound.
Can we delete someone else's post?
(Kidding OP, it looks really tasty but definitely not improved poutine)
Delete?!?!? Maybe just EDIT the offending words away? 😀
You warm my frozen Quebec loving heart to no end. I came here to make a much worse version of this comment.
Agreed wholeheartedly, this is definitely not poutine, but it does look delicious.
