Thought I’d ask this because I want to discover more foods from across the world
(Also I shouldn’t have to say this to americans, please state where you are from and state where you are from without acronyms or shortened names because I’ve seen US Defaultism on lemmy and not all of us are going to know your acronyms considering we’re global users)
Canada doesn’t really have a local cuisine, unfortunately. Too much mutual cultural exchange with the US and too little history. Of the like three dishes to choose from, I do love a good Nanaimo bar. (That’s a layer of chocolate, on a layer of an icing-like custard concoction, on a thicker base of a coconut-chocolate crumbs)
Excuse me but we had moose maple chips once.
That wasn’t even my favourite one in the competition IIRC.
It wasnt very good tbh.
I forgot about Nanaimo bars. Omg I need to make some immediately.
I went to a bar in Nanaimo once. It was the Tally-ho. It was really divey when I was there. But it was that or go back to Cedar and hang out, and there was NOTHING to do in Cedar.
The baked treat is wayyyy better. Har har.
But it’s true – we’ve acquired a lot of different foods from people as they moved here, without a real image of our own. At least we can create mishmash of cultures and pick and choose some winners.
I guess someone’s gonna have to barbecue a gooeyduck street-side and call it iconic. I’m at a loss
