A question for Canadians (Non-CH)

What the hell is in Poutine Sauce or Hot Chicken Sauce??
I've been curious about poutine since someone mentioned it on the board a while back, so I thought I'd look it up... Y'all like to make it sound so simple... Fried potatoes, cheddar cheese curd, and gravy, but when an uneducated American like me digs deeper, we find it's not so simple...
Every recipe I've found (except a few that is obviously not traditional using such things as BBQ sauce, beef gravy, or spaghetti sauce) lists either poutine sauce or hot chicken sauce as the "gravy" that's used. The funny thing is, it seems y'all think it must grow from trees in a can, or falls from the sky as a dehydrated mix. I was even on a Canadian message board that had a topic about the sauce, and no one on there knew either. Eventually they just listed the ingredients on the can... But no one seems to have a traditional recipe.
I know people say that you can substitute different gravies and sauces for the sauce, but if I'm gonna make it, I want it to be as close to traditional as I can, so that I can make a definative decision on whether it's good or not. So how about it... Any of y'all Canadians have a recipe for poutine sauce or hot chicken sauce? If y'all don't help me, I'll just dump a bunch of cheese sauce, and brown gravy on my fries, and not give a damn how American it is... ;D

Sorry DRK^ANGEL am Canadian but only tried it once in a resturant in a french canadian town here in B.C. pretty much the way you described it to begin with was good but never had the desire to make it at home.Has its roots in french Canada.

I think I finally figured out what my problem is... I was expecting a strickly "traditional" recipe, but it appears different people and different restaurants use different sauces according to taste. After further researching, I found that many places just use a variant of beef or chicken gravy, while others use something called BBQ Chicken Gravy (I haven't figured that stuff out, although it sounds a bit like a cross of BBQ sauce and A1), and most home kitchens just use the sauces and mixes from the store.
Maybe I should just go to Montreal and give one of the more favorably recommended poutines a try, but I'm thinking it will be a Hell of alot cheaper just to make it myself with a good beef gravy... Maybe Au Jus...

I bet you can get the stuff Don tried in any city and eat all you want without getting full or fat. antibiotics are cheaper than imitrex.
Russ who checks his poutine carefully.
