Cuisine

The coastal regions of Canada offer a variety of fish and sea food. The midland of Canada provides farm products and excellent meat. The colonial influence is still noticeable and therefore when eating out in a restaurant you will be treated to a foray through the history of Canada.
The French influence in Québec cannot be overlooked. Traditional recipes like meat pies (“tourtières”) or the maple syrup cake («tarte au sirop d'érable») cultivate the “cuisine québécoise”.
In Canada there is nothing like maple syrup which is available in different flavors. The maple leaf even made it on the national flag. Waffles often get dipped into maple syrup before they’re served. The «trempette» is bread dipped in maple syrup with a layer of cream. An in between drink which is very popular in Canada is the «Root Beer», a nonalcoholic brown drink with a bitter after taste.
