  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 French Canada has evolved from French cuisine and the winter provisions of fur traders.

    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.

    Canadian Chinese cuisine is widespread across the country, with variation from place to place. The Chinese smorgasbord, although found in the U.S. and other parts of Canada, had its origins in early Gastown, Vancouver c.1870 and resulted from the many Scandinavians working in the woods and mills around the shantytown getting the Chinese cook to put out a steam table on a sideboard, so they could "load up" and leave room on the dining table (presumably for "drink").[citation needed]

    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.


  2. I can personally recommend the following Quebecois specialities:

    Tourtiere - a pie made with minced pork.  Heavy, stodgy and delicious.  

    The smoked meat sandwiches from Schwartz's Hebrew Deli in Montreal.  Succulent and lovely.

    Split yellow pea soup - commonly made with ham for flavour.  The best version I ever had was in the Binerie Mont-Royal, again in Montreal, which also served a fabulous Tourtiere.

    Poutine - a true old-school Quebecois snack, consisting of french fries doused with gravy and cheese curds.  Delicious if you are very, very hungry; scary if you are not.  Probably unobtainable outside Quebec because you can't get the cheese curds.
