Maple Syrup, Moose, Hockey & Poutine...

All wonderful things that make winter somewhat hospitable in Canada, A vast resource rich land which happens to be a frozen wasteland for over half of the year. The wizards up in the Pillsbury company have come up with the ULTIMATE Canadian idea, that being Pizza Pops: Poutine snacks. I'd managed to find a box to review for Steemit.com's reading pleasure.

The box pictured above was less than $5 CAD after taxes. Not a bad deal really considering how damn weak the Canadian Dollar is currently! I've always been a massive poutine fan ever since growing up in central Canada so I only figured it would be proper that I taste Pillsbury's offering of Poutine in Pizza Pop format.

For those of you that haven't had the pleasure of knowing oF poutine, it's a simple snack built with french fries, white cheese curds and then smothered in a beef or chicken gravy. Some people like to bake their poutine after throwing it all together to get extra melty cheese going on it should be mentioned.

The Goods

I've snapped some shots below of the nutritional info so folks can have a look!

And of course, A picture of the ingredients list of these snacks!

The Preparation

Since I was a young lad I've been eating the classically flavoured Pizza Pops..! Why? Because I've always had a hell of a time justifying cooking something to eat for an hour or two only to wolf it down in 5-10 minutes and spend another 30 minutes afterwards cleaning the vessels the prior meal was cooked in.

Pizza Pops are a great way to take in tasty processed calories! If your country doesn't import these delicious normally pizza flavoured snacks I highly suggest you find a way to get a pack just so you aren't missing out!

Stick em in the microwave on a biodegradable yet microwaveable (paper) plate for 2 minutes 30 seconds and by time you come back into the room it will smell very similar to delicious poutine.. For a man like myself who enjoys eating but hates cooking and doing dishes..

This is damn near perfect..!

The Taste

While I admit the smell of these Pizza Pops cooking was insatiable..

I dissected one of the 2 Pizza Pops so Steemit could see the innards. The contents include a plethora of chicken gravy, small hash brown like fry bits and some form of mozzerela cheese.

Once again I've got to mention the smell of these cooked snacks! They smell damn near like a real poutine! I grabbed a chunk of these poutine filled pockets of dough and had a bite..

Sadly the contents weren't as tasty as I'd hoped! Perhaps I'm a "poutine purist" but I found that the gravy was too strong tasting compared to the limited cheese they had filled the snacks with. While not the best poutine offering I've ever tasted it wasn't that bad..!

4 / 5 Steaks on the Snack Scale

While not the best poutine I've ever tasted the Pizza Pop Poutine isn't the worst thing I've ever tasted! For a fast, on the go poutine I don't think this can be beat however. A lighter gravy would have been preferred with some more cheese but overall these are a delicious snack featuring a great classic Canadian taste in a finger food. Great for folks that love poutine!
