REGIONAL ITEM HISTORY

Poutine

Fries, cheese curds and gravy make Costco’s Canadian poutine a meal of contrasting textures: crisp potatoes beneath curds and hot gravy. [1] [5] [4]

Listed in Costco Canada department information and reported by a Canadian reviewer in July 2026; individual warehouse availability is unverified.

THE RECORD

identity

How long it sits before eating matters to the experience described by diners. [1] [5] [4]

THE RECORD

history

The local history reaches downtown Vancouver by January 2014, when Aaron Wakamatsu reviewed a serving from the Expo Boulevard warehouse. Daryl of Sodafry later recorded a meal in Surrey on October 15, 2016. A Vancouver photograph taken a week later supplies the historical illustration shown here; none of these records establishes Costco’s first sale. [4] [5] [3]

THE RECORD

nutrition

The nutrition table records one poutine as listed on the Ontario kiosk. Its serving weight is unspecified. The image appeared in an April 1, 2026 report; its exact warehouse and capture day are unknown. [6]

THE RECORD

prices

The two 2026 records differ: the Ontario kiosk amount and Costcuisine’s later Canadian review belong to different, incompletely identified settings. They remain separate rows rather than evidence of a nationwide price cut. Older Vancouver and Surrey prices provide local historical context. [6] [2] [4] [5]

THE RECORD

distinctions

Daryl liked the crisp fries and the contrast between initially cool curds and hot gravy, but found the gravy rather bland. Wakamatsu waited about an hour to an hour and a half before eating; by then the gravy had begun to gel and the curds did not noticeably squeak. These are distinct tasting experiences, useful for understanding why the same style of dish can feel different after a delay. [5] [4]

The country-level listing establishes the dish’s Canadian menu identity. Wakamatsu’s January 1, 2014 date is a publication date; Daryl explicitly dates his Surrey meal. Costcuisine’s July 29, 2026 report does not identify the poutine warehouse or transaction day. The reviews do not verify a gravy supplier or a uniform cheese specification. [1] [4] [5] [2]

The principal image is the licensed Vancouver photograph from October 22, 2016. It illustrates that historical serving, while the newer kiosk supplies a separate menu price and calorie observation. The full credit and source links retain those distinctions. [3] [6]
