cheese curd
Poutine's lumpy topping
Cheese curds are the fresh, solid pieces that form when milk coagulates during cheesemaking—the stage before pressing into aged wheels.
They have a mild, milky flavor and a distinctive squeaky texture when bitten.
In Wisconsin and Quebec, fried cheese curds are a popular snack.
Poutine tops french fries with cheese curds and gravy.
