That looks pretty good tbh. Like mixing corn and peas into your mashed potatoes and gravy.
I’m Canadian though, we have a fries and gravy bias.
I'm not Canadian, but the first thing I thought was poutine. Add some cheese curds and I'd give this a try.
Is it bad I want to try it? But yeah it definitely needs cheese curds, maybe some pulled pork too.
Would that change anything?
I love me some fries and BBQ sauce. The corn, yeah alright I'll dance with the devil.
Owen, we talked about this at the last Canada meeting.
The one where I proposed that simple gravy and fries is better than poutine.
No crimes detected. Would eat and enjoy. It's not a proper poutine, would be improved by cheese curds, but impossible to be bad.
A Chinese Pizzaria that I worked at added "Chinese Poutine" to the menu. Instead of cheese curds we just used the pizza cheese, and instead of gravy it got brown sauce. So fries, beef grounds, chicken pieces, brown sauce, cheese. Send that halfway through the oven, top with green onion. The Canadians that tried it said, "well it's good, but definitely not poutine."
The food doesn't look good, but as a Nebraskan, I'm just happy to see Iowa out here taking shots.
At least it's not Eastern Wyoming.

Looks like what people who don't know what cheese is might think poutine is by looking at a bad picture
Looks a whole lot like a garbage plate from a different state, I don't discriminate.
All y'all out here saying this looks good have never had decent gravy. But I agree better versions of the components put together make for a great non-nutritious snack after a night out.
I've never personally seen this as a Des Moines resident for 25+ years, but I do think it would go down well at our fairgrounds. Can't imagine anyone regularly ordering or cooking it though as generally people tend to prefer mashed potatoes or soft foods (meatloaf?) when gravy is involved.
