A fictional town in the remote north of Québec fabled to be the true birthplace of the famous squeaky cheese curds found on poutine. Founded by
Irish monks who set up an abbey in honour of Saint Bridget at the foot of a small mountain, the town is named for the sound of
snow crunching underfoot while hiking on the mountain in winter. The monks created the curds and, noting that when chewed it sounded like the
snow, the name "Fromage Skouic-Skouic" stuck.
