Cuisine Description - Canadian cuisine is very different from one region to another. As a matter of fact, the traditional cuisine of English Canada resembles British and American cuisine, but the traditional cuisine of Quebec and French Canada finds its roots in French cuisine. A great influence was that of German, Ukrainian, Polish and Scandinavian cuisine while Newfoundland and Maritime cuisine derives from Irish and British cooking, and the most preferred are Beef, Pork, and salt-cured fish. Most Canadian home cooks have assimilated new recipes and ingredients from the entire world. One of the most important aspects of Canadian cuisine is represented by the fusion of modern culinary techniques and Canadian ingredients like wild blueberries, saskatoon berries, mussels, bison, caribou, salmon, wild rice, beer, ice wine and locally produced wine, maple syrup and cheeses.

Canadian cuisine has a wide variety of dishes as it follows: a French-Canadian fast-food called Poutine which contains French fries, cheese curds and gravy. Caesar cocktail is made from votka, clamato juice (clam-tomato juice), Tabasco sauce, Worchestershire sauce in a salt-rimmed glass. This cocktail was invented in Calgary in 1969. Another Canadian dish is represented by Lumberjack’s Breakfast aka Logger's Breakfast which consists of eggs, Bacon, Ham, sausages and large pancakes. In 1915, in the North part of Ontario, butter tart was invented and this is made of Sugar, eggs, butter, raisins, pecans and flavour. A delicious meat pie originating from Quebec is Tourtiere and, in order to cook it, you need the following ingredients: onions, Pork, and celery. In most Canadian Chinese restaurants, ginger Beef has become one of the most famous dishes.
