Not all of them are Canadian, I think apple pie with cheese is also a fav in Maine, NH, Vermont...
Salt & vinegar has been an old UK tradition for yrs but is very popular here in the US also. The horseradish on roast beef probably started in UK, but is pretty traditional here as well.
Gravy on french fries is very popular in the southern states. I know alot of people who eat poutine on fries too.
To each his own! EH?

I like some of what you listed. Now horseradish on almost ant meat is good, a family food. As for poutine I have not tried but would be willing. My way of looking at life is, don't say you don't some food if you have not tried it first. As for the Calgary red eye, no but try beer and V-8 the American eye opener. Salt and vinegar on fish and chips is good but only in small amounts. Apple pie and ice cream only, don't care for cheese.

Many of the combinations you mention are common in areas of the USA. Calgary red eye is known as red-beer in the Pacific NW. Horseradish on roast beef is served throughout the USA. Gravy on french fries is easily obtained in the SE USA. Malt vinegar is quite common in the eastern Carolinas and the NE USA. Cheddar cheese with apple pie is offered in truck stop restaurants and other restaurants all over the USA. Not so strange when you consider that Americans put ketsup on mac-n-cheese, peas and scrambled eggs; 1,000 island salad dressing on hamburgers; lettuce and pineapple on a pizza; 7-Up in wine; etc.

Ive heard of cheese on apple pie but never tried it.no to vinegar on fish.
YES! to vinegar on frys!(chips)
love yorkshire pudding.
we eat horseradish on all meats.most people here prefer the creamed style or the horse radish sauce.
brown gravy on fries is awesome except we use grated cheddar instead of curds.
we call beer and tomatoe juice Red Beers and drink em by the pitcher full (I dont cause I no longer drink)
we get our donuts at the crispy cream.(I do still eat donuuts)
I dont know where you live ,but here in wyoming our food habits arent that different from Canada,we dont have subs at Mc donalds though.
peace><>

I really like the salt and vinegar on fish and chips. I even buy the potato chips with salt and vinegar on them...oohh are they nice and tart. I remember my Grandfather putting cheese on apple pie (he was born in England). I never acquired a taste for that. Horseradish on prime rib is sooo good. Yorkshire pudding doesn't do much for me though. As far as the other things you mentioned I haven't tried them. I guess it's all in what you grow up with and get use to.

Salt and Vinegar on fish and chips as well as a bloody beer are both originally UK foods. Popular in Australia as well. We also do a muddy beer which is stout and beer together. Gravy and cheese melted on hot chips is another one that's popular here.
I prefer custard with apple pie though.

sounds like british cuisine to me! ;O)
salt & vinegar on fish&chips are super yum, altho the tartare sauce comes a very close second.
and yorkshire pudding with gravy is unbeatable!
