World's largest conference on Canadian cusine:

Didn't realize there were so many ways to prepare moose!

I did note there was a session “Hemp: Ancient Food Source, Modern Superfood.” - a few puffs of reefer and moose tartar sure tastes good!

[JAbuchan08]

6. back bacon, eh!

that's canadian, eh!

[Interrobang]

14. Here in Canada we generally call it "peameal bacon"

...usually because it has a thick layer of peameal (made from yellow peas) on the outside. :)

[Liberal Christian]

16. I love peameal bacon

And Red River cereal. And poutine. And beer. Not necessarily all at the same time, however.

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. According to the Canadian national anthem, it's backbacon

Five golden toques
Four pounds of backbacon
three french toast
two (somethings)
and a beer!

My favorite quote:

“People don’t really know what Canadian cuisine is besides maybe donuts, hamburgers and french fries and I think this helps the students get a better understanding as to what is really out there…and how much you can get locally,” Walker said.

donuts yummm

[Interrobang]

10. Hmm...bet I can find a few people here who would be up for Nanaimo bars!

Nanaimo bars, sugar pie, butter tarts, pet de soeur (all sweet things I can't eat)

Tourtiere, Alberta Red Eye Stew (yum!), French Canadian Pea Soup, chips with vinegar and salt!

11. Mmmm....Nanaimo Bars ...love 'em, make 'em all the time!

Our community still has a Drive-In and at intermission the canteen serves homemade french fries with a dash of salt and a spinkle of vinegar...oh so good!

[HEyHEY]

12. OOOO I LOVE EM!

[HEyHEY]

13. How about perogies? We do add our own touch to them...

And, that then when they pour Maple syrup into the snow....and um.... seal flippers! How about.........shit I cna't think of anything else

[Sticky]

20. What about seal flipper pie?

I thought it was a joke until I visited Newfoundland and there it was on the menu! Other choices for Entre are Cod Tongues and Stuffed Caribou Heart. One night for supper we were served Boiled Moose! Try stuffing that in a napkin and hiding it under your plate!

Good times and fantastic people though!

[HEyHEY]

21. I worked in a seafood markert in NB for a bit

Yikes...some of the old folks would come in and order the wierdest stuff! Cod cheeks...tongues....skate...yuck!

17. Frozen Pies

Back in Birmingham, AL, the local Winn Dixie carried frozen pies from Canada; chicken, beef, and shepherd's. They were GREAT! Also, Molson is awesome too.

[HEyHEY]

18. if you like molson

try something else from Canada you'll looooove whatever it may be!

22. I taught a class to the Ministry of the Environment up there10-15 years

ago. (My 7-yr-old son begged "Mom! Don't go! POLAR BEARS!!" -- we like to watch the Discovery channel and all that). They assigned a lovely Customer Service Rep to drive me, the Floridian, around in all that blowing snow on the 18-lane raceway through Toronto.She was first generation Italian and her folks had us over for dinner. I was astonished. It was such a lovely unamerican meal, like a good quality peasant meal. The parents could hardly speak english. The father had made the sausage (Damn good!) and the wine which was heavenly. They started out with a terrific fresh salad vinaigrette, Then what they called "pizza" but was more like bread to me with some tiny bits of ham and tiny tasties embedded and cooked in. No red sauce. No cheese , no pepperoni. A madefromscratch yeast bread about and inch and a half thick. I was afraid to wolf down and hoove up a respectable pile of it as I desired because I kept expecting the huge wad of linquini with meatballs rolling around on it, so I went very easy, with the parents doing the "Mange mange" cheers. A most memorable experience.

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Yow!

It's made me hungry!

[morningglory]

24. Canadian food, Man! All you need is the Italians to cook it for you.

Then you have some dang fine eatin' .

25. How could I forget donairs???

AKA poor man's gyros. They make a huge slab of cheap ground beef with odd spices, roast it on a vertical spit until all trace of flavor or texture is eliminated, then serve it on a supermarket pita with a special sauce comprising mainly sugar and condensed milk... Invented in Halifax!
