day 5
wussp everybody and welcome
to a world where every bite is a
celebration, and each
dish tells a story.
New day New food New
country (Canada)
1. Poutine
Few Canadian dishes are as world-renowned as the glorious
creation known as poutine. Crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds and rich gravy
all combine to create the meal of dreams, and this French Canadian food is so
popular that it can now be found all around the world. The classic version is
great on its own, but toppings like pulled pork, bacon and smoked meat really
knock it out of the park – and at an average price of £3.50, it won’t break the
bank either.
2. Bannock
Delicious and versatile, bannock is a simple bread that was once a key staple in the diets of Canada’s Aboriginal people. Modern takes on bannock include baked versions (which are heavy/dense) and fried versions (which are crispy and fluffy on the inside). In recent years, bannock has seen a surge in popularity, with new twists and variations popping up in bakeries and cafes nationwide – you have to try it!3. Butter tarts
Butter tarts are so simple, but oh so good. They’re made by taking flaky pastry shells and filling them with a butter, sugar and egg filling. This is traditional Canadian food at its best, and you’ll be craving these long after you’ve left the country.4. Nova Scotian Lobster Rolls
Canada is a massive country, with spectacular seafood from
coast to coast. Not-to-be-missed experiences include Atlantic and Pacific
salmon, smoked salmon, arctic char, and of course, East Coast lobsters. Nova
Scotian lobster rolls are a Canadian favourite.
5. Montreal-style Bagels
Montreal’s bagels are the unsung heroes of great Canadian
food. Sweeter, denser and thinner than their NYC counterparts, Montreal
bagels are baked in wood fire ovens and are often covered in poppy or sesame
seeds. The two heavyweights in the Montreal bagel game are St. Viateur and Fairmount
Bagel, both of which (we can confirm) are amazing.
Thank you for joining me on this delicious journey.
Until our next culinary adventure.
