What's your favorite "Canadian" food?

[Klute]

Poutine, Maple syrup, Nanaimo bars, butter tarts (or is that northern Ontario?) and peameal bacon.

 

[John Connor]

Beaver Tails and poutine... not together, just occasionally.

 

[Guy number two]

Sweet and sour Chicken Balls!

 

[bestman007]

Pussy!

Canadian pussy is the best. A steady diet provides 7 essential nutrients and minerals.

 

[K Douglas]

Montreal Style Smoked Meat
Canadian bacon
Canada Dry Ginger Ale

And of course Canadian beer - Sleeman, Upper Canada, Moosehead, Mill Street, Steam Whistle just to name a few.

Poutine.

Sweet and sour Chicken Balls!

How is that Canadian food?

 

[Petzel]

Don't like peameal bacon or poutine. Maple syrup is sickeningly sweet as are Nanaimo bars.
Canada Dry and Montreal smoked meat is good.

1. Quebec style Beef Bourguignon with good red wine is amazing.
2. Montreal-style bagels (with lox)
3. Kraft Dinner

Believe it or not Chicken Balls were invented by Chinese immigrants in western Canada over 50 years ago. You won't find it anywhere in China... even quite rare in Chinatowns in the US
Ask a waitress in China if they serve Chicken balls the response is always "Chickens don't have balls" LOL

2. Montreal-style bagels (with lox)

+ 1

Montreal's Fairmont bagel makes the best .

Wow, it's a day of learning here on terb! That's pretty hilarious, I knew they were westernized chinese but I didn't realize they were invented in Canada!

Here's an interesting page I found:

Campfire favorite, toasted tea biscuit/english muffin/bagel, small stack of back bacon on top, favourite fruit of the day on top of that, and all smothered in maple syrup. Has been called the lazy man's crepe.

 

[kkelso]

Winegums.

 

[aussie9]

Cohoe salmon and fiddlehead greens. Wash it down with a Brador.

 

[Butler1000]

Cedar plank maple salmon?

Back bacon on a bun. Definitely up there.

 

[oldjones]

Fresh fiddleheads in spring.

Really I prefer genuine Canadian Cheezies™ but I vote for organic fiddleheads publicly. Any videos of me with orange lips are non-existant and faked.

Have you tried Toronto Style Smoked Meat?

Guy Fieri recently featured Caplansky's on Diners Drive Inn and Dives, I had lunch there and it was absolutely delicious.

But be warned it has a more robust flavour than Schwartz in Montreal. It's a matter of taste, I'll use cured ham as a comparison, Schwartz is prosciutto and Caplansky's is serrano.

Nothing wrong with the real French Boef Bourguignon.
And Kraft Dinner isn't strictly Canadian. I believe it's American.

Hm, I've tried Caplansky's twice, once in the restaurant and once at the food truck. In general I found it dry and not all that tasty. Also the food truck portions were abysmal for the price. To me, no comparison to Schwartz's, but that was quite awhile back so I'll probably give it another try to see if it's improved or if I got it on an off day or something last time. I really want it to be good because I haven't found any half decent smoked meat in Toronto thus far...
