Canadian Taste

Poutine, which emerged in the 1950s in the province of Quebec, is among the favored 'comfort foods' in Canada.  Cheese curds are scattered on top of French Fries, then topped with a delicious brown gravy.  When in Montreal, opt for a Montreal bagel which is sweeter and more dense than a regular bagel and is made in a wood-fired oven.  Or try Donair, a spit-roasted meat loaf grilled into a pita bread.  For a tasty breakfast, go for a Candian bacon and pancakes drenched in maple syrup.  When dining, opt to try local wines, ice wine and craft beer, sample the cheese and experience fresh produce in various markets across the country.
