Canada Food and Drink
You know whereWhether you’re craving a monster-sized burger and fries, a juicy rare steak, freshly caught seafood or Oriental stir-fry, Canada has a panoply of eateries to sate your appetite. The French influence in Quebec is easily discernible. Areas where particular groups of immigrants have settled have their own distinct specialties. Look for German-style cuisine in southwestern Ontario, Ukrainian dishes on the Prairies and Asian foods in Vancouver, for instance.
• Fresh seafood such as mussels, salmon, lobster, prawns, crab and scallops.
• Steak: the central plains produce first-class beef.
• Game: try venison, elk, bison or caribou.
• Poutine: fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
• Maple syrup: often liberally doused on pancakes or French toast.
• Nanaimo bar: super sweet chocolatey biscuit bar layered with vanilla or custard buttercream and topped with chocolate.
• Montreal smoked meat: cured beef usually piled high in a sandwich accompanied by mustard.
• BC roll: British Columbian speciality sushi roll made with rice, seaweed, barbecued salmon and cucumber.
