URGENT! NEED OPINIONS ON SOMETHING UNIVERSAL

[Mophead]

AIGHT
So I'm in a heated debate with @(you need an account to see links) and @(you need an account to see links) about Poutine and Chilli Cheese Fries being similar

They're both potato dishes covered in cheese and a topping flavor/sauce/whatever you wanna call it. I ain't Gordon Ramsay or nothin'

They think I'm the devil for thinking the two resemble each other

I think they're retarded.
But more importantly I think they need to reevaluate how they compare foods.
Here's two images of the two to compare.



What're your opinions
This is a very pressing matter

YOU'RE FUCKIN WRONG AND I WANT ALL MY CANADIANS OUT THERE TO STICK UP FOR POUTINE
CHILLI AND GRAVY ARE NOT THE SAME

[Lilac Tentacles]

Who fucking cares? I want both in my mouth at the same time. Tag your food porn. Geeze, we aren't heathens.

As someone who was born and raised in LA but has lived in Montreal for about 2 years, they def don't taste the same, but I can see the striking similarity in concept

[Mama Bear]

They both look disgusting, but melty cheese is gross imo.

[Mindfang]

first pic looks like a manky chips n gravy so that's ok
second pic gave me actual food poisoning out of disgust

The real tragedy for americans is the lack of peameal bacon.

They definitely resemble each other, but are different nonetheless; I could at least pick out one over the other.
