    Are there any decent alternative for curds? In my country they are impossible to find and importing food is such a pain in the butt. Will something like burrata or buffalo moz work as a somewhat decent alternative?

      Canadian poutine eater here… IMO sadly there is no substitute for the curds. They are just texturally unique. It’s quite important considering it’s one of only three ingredients.

      I know your pain though, I was living in the states for a bit and it was basically impossible to get good poutine. If I wanted it I had to make it myself, which meant a long trip to Tillamook to buy cheese curds from the source direct.

      curds are a nonmelting squeaky cheese product. Paneer is the closest thing I can think of. Farmers cheese/quark maybe?

        Ooh, paneer should be possible to source around here, I think.

        Thanks for the suggestion!
