The dish Poutine can easily satisfy a hungry stomach; it is made of pulled, crispy, golden French fries, which are generously topped with cheese curds, gravy, and meat. Poutine has several different variations depending on which circle one is in, but one unquestioned thing is how this dish symbolizes Canadian ‘Comfort Food.”

Picture “Pirogi”, I can recall it as one of the chief offerings of Polish cuisine. These yummy dumplings are based on a very soft and loving dough. Each serves as a complete food history package in itself, in form of creamy minced potatoes along with melted cheese, sautéed onions and flavored mushrooms as well as wonderfully tangy sauerkraut. The simplest form of preparation is boiling them and pan frying in butter; these days they are served nutty aroma and a golden crispness. Pirogi is a recipe made by passing on their love through generations, ensuring deep care along with a rich selection of ingredients that a family would incorporate in the dish.
Let me consider a dish that combines the famous Polish dumplings with the Poutine, a dish recognized worldwide. The pirogi would be placed on a bed of fried potatoes, poutine-style, smeared with pirogian seasoning, while the curds and fried patties of cheese would be resting on top. Now picture the Pirogis having a lipometric balance between the gravy, sweet potatoes, and melted cheese bathing the soft pirogn’s mouth, the harsh poutine eyes. The pirogi would lie, basking in the warmth of melted cheese and poutine-infused gravy, with the flag-emblazoned golden fries of poutine. The combination of these two soothing meals would result in a wrecked fusion of warmth that can be indulged in from two completely different civilizations.

My dream taco will be a wonderful blend of tacos and Pad Thai, what I would call a ‘Thai Fusion Taco.’ Shrimp or tofu stir-fried noodles would be stellar fillings, and if peanuts or bean sprouts are then drizzled with a Pad Thai sauce, voila.

What I want to accomplish is bring the flavors of Thai street food into a taco. The blending of taco creativity and Thai street food will perfectly encapsulate the essence of Thai fusion cuisine.
