Oh Canada. Iconic Canadian Foods
Oh Canada. Iconic Canadian Foods I have always been a proud Canadian and enjoy sharing our history, tradition and culture. Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain on 'July 1, 1867'. For One Hundred and Fifteen Year, this was known as Dominion Day. However, the name was officially changed to Canada Day in '1983'. In honour of our upcoming One Hundred and Fifty-third birthday, over the next few days, I will be sharing some facts and information about my country. Poutine Several small towns in Quebec claim to have invented it which dates back to the '1950s'. A real poutine uses peppery meat-based gravy and “squeaky” curds on fries. Many swear it's a great cure for a hangover! Canadian Bacon What’s known in our country as “peameal bacon” is branded as Canadian bacon just about everywhere else. Unlike traditional bacon, which comes from the pig’s belly, Canadian bacon is lean pork loin that’s been brined and rolled in cornmeal. Carousel Bakery in Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market is world-renowned for its Canadian bacon sandwiches. Caesar Invented in '1969' by Calgary restaurant manager Walter Chell. The key ingredients are Clamato juice, vodka, Worchester and a salted rim. Every bartender will garnish them differently. Clamato-maker Mott’s claims more than Hundred and Fifty Million Caesars are sold every year. Butter Tarts The origins of this rich, pastry can be traced back the late nineteenth century in Ontario. Consisting of a delic crumbly crust and a creamy centre made of a butter, and egg mixture, there’s constant debate over whether raisins should be added the mix. The City of Kawartha Lakes offers its own Butter Tart Tour. Ketchup… Everything! While it’s not so much a dish as it is a condiment, there’s still something inherently Canadian about ketchup. There are ketchup chips (unheard of elsewhere). We also tend slather everything from Kraft Dinner egg burgers. BeaverTails Essentially a flattened fried donut without a hole. They are individually hand stretched resemble beaver’s tails. These treats became popularized in ‘1978’ They can be topped with either sweet or savoury ingredients. |

These are just a few of the foods traditionally associated with Canada. Which ones have you tried?

The beaver tale reminds me a little of what we called baxten. Mom would stretch bread dough and fry it. As it was leavened with yeast, the surface was a bit rough as some areas rose more than others. Hot and buttered to eat with the meal as bread, and hot, buttered and powder sugared for dessert. Yum. And loin bacon is absolutely the best, although cottage bacon (from the shoulder) is very good as well.

I like BBQ sauce on my fries, but I still call them French fries. That "Caesar" sure does resemble a "Bloody Mary".

first of all, happy canada day wednesday, and happy terry foxs birthday today. YES - love canadian bacon - more meat, MUCH less fat and grease (and mess!) not sure about the butter tarts but they look familiar, maybe in a different form? kind of resemble miniature amish shoo-fly pies. yum! id pass on the raisins, but they wouldnt stop me from eating it. NO - can you make a "poutine" knockoff with something substituted for the gravy? please dont say ketchup. clamato? no thanx not a big fan of ketchup, but DEF in moderation when so - NEVER dump, only drizzle or dunk. NEXT - think ill thaw out some canadian bacon for brunch for tomorrow . . . is there a uniquely canadian CHEESE? "well only get through this if we work together. if we dont, none of us will"

So you're saying Kanadian Ketchup on Canadian Bacon could be a thing . . . eh? When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Hi, I spent a few months in Quebec City in '84. I have some very fond memories! Most of which have absolutly nothing to do with food! What I do remember though is a 'submarine' a long roll filled with chips and gravy. So really a routine in a roll. As you say a great cure for a hangover. ❤❤❤

i got to come up there and try some of those.....

These all look great I have always wanted to try Poutine as they make it in a variety of ways. And the tarts look amazing too. Thanks so much for sharing some Canadian foods with us. I hope you have a wonderful Canadian Day on the First..
