What is canadian cuisine?

[bigpoppa]

A lot of countries have their own original cuisine and food. (Italians have pizza, pasta, mexico has tacos, chilaquiles, chocolate etc)

But what is canadian cuisine? Bagels are apparently polish, donuts were apparently invented by romans, brought to the new world by the dutch.

I can only think of back bacon, poutine, butter tarts and Nanimo bars.

Peameal bacon maybe. Back bacon is also british. How about maple syrup and fiddle heads.

Fiddleheads are an east coast thing, great with vinegar, along with marshgreens

In Quebec City the fancy Canadian Fare restaurants focus a lot on wild game.

Also..Tourtiere!

Tough one because I don’t think we have a signature meal that screams Canadian…

Poutine, steak, burger, maple syrup, and horrible TH coffee (which I enjoy) come to mind.

Since when are bagels Polish?

Just chiming in on the Poutine topic.

Shredded cheese on fries is NOT poutine.

Any restaurant or food truck that sells fries with freakin' shredded cheese melted on top and advertises it as "Poutine" should be charged with something, like, I don't know, a crime against humanity or whatever.

Anyhow. I too like Tourtiere and peameal bacon.

I actually knew this fact.

"Invented" by the Jews in Poland.

However, I have never known them to be a Polish thing or part of the Polish cuisine. It is very much a Jewish meal.





CHAŁKA (challah ) on the other hand is very common in Poland and even Polish stores here.
Again, part of the Jewish cuisine but this one stuck around longer and still has its presence today.

Is Mac and Cheese a Canadian thing? Kraft Dinner.

Off topic:

I have never had Kraft Dinner in my life. I even worked for Kraft at one point in my life and had access to it at half price.
