Is there a Canadian Food?

Question

Is there a "Canadian Food?" I don't mean back bacon... and not regionalized ethnic (French in Montreal as an example). Just a nationally recognized Canadian Food.

Answer 1

Not back bacon, not regionalized, and  not ethnic - you ask tough questions!

Bread

Potatoes

Beef

Fish - as long as you don't narrow it down to a species.

Coffee - our all day drink

Canadian beer - our all evening drink

Easterners may think that maple is nation-wide but it is mostly eastern. Poutine is mostly Quebecois - good but ethnic and/or regional.

Answer 2

Mac n' Cheese is the national favourite, otherwise it's very simular to the United States: burgers, fries, sandwitches, hot dogs, bbq, etc... although Canuks have a history with maple and sometimes put gravy on their fries (across Canada)

Answer 3

most of it is influenced by england and france

but i know they use a lot of maple and fish

Answer 4

maple syrup

though that's not exactly a food, it's a topping and it's awesome!

Answer 5

I dont think they really have a Canadian food. Their back ground is so Fench there food is mostly french, but they eat a lot like Americans now I think. Thear location has made them have many different influences.

Answer 6

Yeah, it looks disgustingly delicious.. =P

It is called 'Poutine'. It is soft fries with cheese curds and brown gravy.

There are some very frightening pictures of it on Wikipedia.. lol.
