This article is about the dish of french fries, cheese curds and gravy. For the Acadian dish of boiled potato dumplings, see Poutine râpée. For the president of Russia, see Vladimir Putin.

Lol

There actually were poutine dishes and restaurants that had to change their name after the ruskies invaded Ukraine for that very reason.
