Canadian foods

[Anonymous No.5266901]

For the longest time I would see people fuss over this, and not give it much thought. It looks good. However, I thought it was fries covered in cooked/uncooked marshmallows and maple syrup.
But this summer I will be going to a wedding in canada, so I finally looked up to see what it actually was. So it's cheese curds and gravy on fries? Still sounds good, but my version sounded way better.

Any other Canadian dishes I should try while I'm there?

garlic fingers
tourtierre if you want something legit
rappie pie if you happen to be going to nova scotia and can find one of the probably like 3 or 4 restaurants in the world that serve it

it's ok - I prefer the European original version though, it's basicly the same thing, but with no choose and real pieces of meat.

Make some Oaty Pancakes and have them with real-deal Maple Syrup and Banana.
Not a Canadian meal but it's a fucking amazing use for an ingredient and is ezpz to make.

> Implying that some Canadian from Quebec copied the traditional European dish and just added the cheese

That's a meat sauce with fries... Hardly the same thing as poutine imo.
Meat sauce with boiled potatoes would be a more regular dinner version of this, but you can get it served with fries too if you want.

but that's literally what happened ...
I'm from quebec and I don't doubt it, most 'canadian dishes' tend to be takes on english dishes.
poutine = chips and gravy
pâté chinois - shepard's pie
hot chicken = some english chicken shit
who knows, honestly canadian food's not that impressive, like most white cultures it's all pretty bland so outside of montreal or toronto it's pretty much all brown shit with potatoes

you can also find crazy stuff from the atlantic like salt cod and pork scraps, or poutine rapee(which is like an asian steamed pork bun except made with potatoes instead of dough)

Canadian here. Yes, it is.

While you can find masterful quality food of practically any ethnicity you can think of, we have hardly anything original.

>implying poutine was an intentional invention.
the guy was drunk, ordered chips and gravy with a side a cheese, like everybody did when the bars closed, said he didn't need two bags, voila, poutine.

tourtiere du lac st-jean* everything else is shit (and the real thing, not what's labeled "tourtiere du lac st-jean" in qubec/montreal store which is basically meat pie with potatoes).

I'm from halifax and I've never actually eaten a donair.
I've had plenty of garlic fingers dipped in delicious donair sauce
And I've had donair poutine
I've had motherfucking donair corn dogs dipped in donair sauce
but I've never eaten an actual donair. At this point it's just like I'm spiting myself.
