4. Well, we all crave to try poutine, but there are
many varieties of dishes you must try out in
Canada. Each Canadian dish serves a plate of
amazingly epic food and not just the poutine. From
poutine to centuries-old tasty soups, smoky meat,
to unmissable desserts, here are 7 Traditional
Canadian Foods that are truly iconic in their own
way.
7 Traditional Canadian Foods
You Must Not Miss
5. Among a few of the world-renowned Canadian
dishes, poutine is a glorious one. The oh-so-
delectable combination of crispy fries, squeaky
cheese curds and rich peppery gravy makes this
dream meal so popular around the world. This
classic Canadian cuisine with French touch is
one of its kind, but when added toppings like
bacon, pork or smoky meat, it really hits the
taste palate differently.
This is why Poutine has become one such culinary
gem of French Canadian that every renowned
restaurant wants to keep on the menu all over
the world.

6. In several countries, what is served as Peameal
Bacon, the Canadian cuisine branded it as the
Canadian Bacon with a twist. In contrast to the
traditional bacon that uses the belly portion of
the pig, Canadian bacon is a dish prepared using
thin pork loin. This piece of bacon is then
preserved in salt and rolled into cornmeal to
enhance its flavors.
Earlier it was all rolled into the yellow peas
as a preservation step. However, this has been
swapped with cornmeal over the years.

7. Pizza is a popular go-to food that almost
everyone wants to order from the menu. Canadian-
style pizza is quite different from the dough
and fried American-style pizza.
Canadian-style includes a thin-crust pizza with
a large variety of creatively different
toppings. Where there is Cronenberg Crash
flavored pizza including tandoori tofu, cilantro
pesto, peanuts, mango and red pepper, Wayne
Gretzky flavored pizza has Italian salami,
caramelized onions, flecks and chorizo, chili
flakes, hot peppers along with three different
types of cheese including mozzarella, cheddar
and feta cheese. In addition, maple syrup is
there as a complementary topping to pour on
them.

8. Butter Tarts are one of the most simple yet
delicious items Canadian cuisine offers. They
are a sweet preparation of crispy pastry shells
filled with eggs, sugar and butter.

9. Perhaps the national cocktail of Canada is
Bloody Caesar. Caesar is a blend of vodka and
clamato juice spiced up with Worcestershire and
Clamato juice. Do you know what makes it truly
Canadian? Well, the addition of Bloody Mary
makes this cocktail an absolute companion of
brunch.

10. When it comes to naming one unsung winning food
from the Canadian dishes, Montreal-style bagels
are definitely one of them. Montreal bagels are
a thinner, denser and sweeter treat that goes
into the traditional wood fire oven to get
baked. These traditional Canadian Montreal-style
bagels are quite different from their New York
City counterparts and often get garnished with
sesame or poppy seeds for crunch.

11. Another Montreal-style delicacy is the Smoky
meat which is quite similar in taste to
Pastrami. This meaty dish is the heavenly
preparation of beef briskly salt, which goes on
for a week-long cure with an assortment of
spices. Later it gets all smoked and simmered to
prepare the divine perfection.
Montreal's smoked meat is a great accompaniment
to a rye bread sandwich coated with tangy
flavored yellow mustard. Besides, it is also
used as a topping for the world-famous poutine.
If you want to understand the flavors of it, try
Montreal's smoked meat yourself.
