Canadian food?

Question

were can i get some good Canadian food? what types of food do they eat any way? is it like French or English?

Answer 1

Canadian food is very similar to American food...although they do have some dishes that are unique to them, like French meat pies called tortiere, and poutine, which is french fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. Oh, and butter tarts and nanaimo bars ( both very yummy desserts that were invented in Canada. Canada is like most countries these days where they take a little bit of all the cuisines that make up our unique cultures. And they also have a dish called Ginger Beef which is Chinese, but was first made in Calgary Alberta. Canadian food is a blend of cultures---European and Aboriginal. If you are of European Origins do not expect to participalte in the eating of whale or seal blubber unless you just happen to be in the territories. You may expect to enjoy Salmon. Stereotypically Canadian food is a blend of Englsih (horrible food) and French (yum yum). As in the States; you can all types of foods in restaurants in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec. Tradtional English food is generally horrible due to greasy spoon type of cooking such as spotted dick. and has little style to it. In recent years; the English have done away with most of the greasy preparations and their food is much better than in the old days. You can also find Scottish Cooking in Canada including Haggis which the Scots themselves these days rare. so in short you can go anywhere in order to get that kind of food because it is basically American and can be found everywhere.

Aside from regional variations, there are also a plethora of cultures in Canada - all from whom many delicious foods come. From the east, where lobster is available, to the west coast salmon, to the prairies where there's really good German, or Ukrainian foods, for example. "French" food could be anything from poutine to haute cuisine. "English" food could be fish 'n chips or bangers and mash. It's actually really nice to be in a country with such variety and there's always more to explore.

Answer 6

As many have said, it covers the gambit with all its influences, but mainly British and French. If you're really interested in classic Canadian Cooking, I'd suggest looking into books by Jehane Benoit. I always thought of her as sort of Canada's Julia Child.

Answer 7

There is no traditionally Canadian food. Our country is made of of many different cultures and you will find a wide range of cuisines. Here in the Atlantic provinces you'll find a taste for seafood, corned beef and cabbage dinners, hamburgers, Chinese and Japanese cuisine, and a whole variety of other foods.

Cheese Steak French! YummMMmY!

Answer 9

There is no "Canadian" cuisine....Canada is like the US in that it is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines.....they do have stronger beer and hard cider....but...that's about it...and yes, typically english and french predominate. But it varies as with the US, by province what you can find on the menu or regional specialty
