Answer 1

Canadian cuisine varies widely from region to region. Generally, the traditional cuisine of English Canada is closely related to British and American cuisine, while the traditional cuisine of Quebec and French Canada has evolved from French cuisine and the winter provisions of fur traders.

The basis of both groups is traditionally on seasonal, fresh ingredients, and preserves. The cuisine includes a lot of baked foods, wild game, and gathered foods. Prepared foods were still a novelty for recent rural generations, so there are some that are well-loved to the point of obsession -- and which have come to dominate suburban diets. However, home-made, warming, and wholesome remain key adjectives in what Canadians consider their cuisine.

The cuisine of the western provinces is heavily influenced by German, Ukrainian, Polish, and Scandinavian cuisine. Noteworthy is the cuisine of the Doukhobors: Russian-descended vegetarians.

The traditional cuisine of The Arctic and the Canadian Territories is based on wild game and Inuit and First Nations cooking methods. The cuisines of Newfoundland and the Maritime provinces derive mainly from British and Irish cooking, with a preference for salt-cured fish, beef, and pork. British Columbia also maintains British cuisine traditions.

Answer 2

What Do Canadians Eat

Answer 3

Now a days Canadians eat allot of BBQ, in the past most food was roasted with the side dishes prepared on the stove potatoes and or vegetables.
meals include Chicken, beef, pork, fish and in some cases wild game deer, moose, duck, pheasant.
Most Canadians and Americans have the same country's of origin England, France, Ireland, Poland, Italy, India, Jamaica, the list is virtually endless so if you can figure out these country's cuisines mix them up there you now have Canadian food.
Just write down Taco Bell and McDonald's and save some ink.
Good luck

Answer 4

French Canadians eat a dish called tortierre.It's a pie made with ground pork,bread crumbs.onion and sage.(some families make with a combination of beef and pork and some even add grated carrot and potato.This is a Christmas tradition.
Other than that we eat pretty much what Americans etc. eat.
Other than pineapple,bananas,oranges grapefruit or exotic fruits,we grow apples,peaches,pears,strawberries,raspberries,blueberries and list could go on and on.
Some in the northern part eat moose,deer,bear but I have no desire for those things.
Hope this has helped a little.

Answer 5

Maple Syrup

Now of course there is no main food of Canada, Canada is much larger than the US the cusine is very regional.

Quebec probably has the most distinctive cusine:
Poutine (fries with cheese curd and gravy)
Tortierre (A kind of ground pork pie, very dry not like a pot pie)
Apple pie with cheddar on it.


Maritimers eat a lot of FISH, but not any bottom feeders such as lobster.

BC has food a lot like California.

Answer 8

Well.....

there is always Canadian bacon which has very little fat in it and is mostly meat .... they cut it thin like "regular" bacon ... and use it for dishes like Eggs Benedict ...or instead of bacon in any dish that usually uses bacon, like eggs & bacon, or a quiche, or a BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich) ....

They also have a very nice dish called a Tourtiere, which is a meat pie made with pork, onions, and spices .... sometimes potatoes .... very good!

Answer 9

A famous dish is poutine. Fries with gravy. Canadian specialty. Our cuisine is very international though

Answer 10

to add to what the other people have said, it also depends on what your cultural background is. The foods mentioned are mainly eaten by Canadians who are of European descent or have been in the country for many generations. For the rest of us, our diet is heavily influenced by whatever foods are eaten back in the home country.

Answer 11

Canadian bacon. :)

Really they eat the same things as us Americans
