Looks kind of gross. Not going to say it doesn't taste good but poutine just looks ugly to me. And I say this while thinking that God invented humans just so they could make pizza (and then Satan added pineapple and fucked it all up.)
My memory doesn't go that far. I just can't remember ANY time I have been able to eat mashed potatos. It's weird. They don't gross me out. But when I put some in my mouth I immediately start gagging and wanting to throw up.
I have a rare undiagnosed condition that caused me to vomit when I put mashed anything in my mouth.
