Talk:Poutine/FAQ
Q: Why is the cuisine nationality of poutine not explicitly stated?
A: This has proven controversial amongst editors, whether to call it part of Canadian cuisine or Quebec cuisine, with much editing and reverting regarding this and discussions which went around in circles (described by one editor as "a culturally insensitive ideological argument"). This includes Talk:Poutine/Archive 2 § debate on definition, Talk:Poutine/Archive 3 § Poutine as a Quebecois dish, Talk:Poutine/Archive 4 § RfC about cuisine classification, and Talk:Poutine/Archive 5 § RfC, take 2: Help us choose a new lead. The GA review in June 2019 upheld the then-current lead which avoided the controversial cuisine hierarchy issue, instead stating that it has been associated with Quebec cuisine
and called "Canada's national dish"
without taking sides.
Q: Why isn't this poutine recipe, french fry dish or festival in the article?
A: We can't hope to include every such instance. Focus has been given to illustrative and historically notable examples.
