Not all Canadians participate in hunting them and they certainly aren't eaten. Read up on things like this before you think it is okay to make jokes.

Actually seals are eaten, in the form of omega 3 seal oil capsules.
There is a large market for them worldwide, especially in Korea.
I think that some people think if it comes from a seal its better.
Omega 3 oil products are labeled as seal oil or fish oil, and I take the fish oil product. |

Some of you people really like to rag on Canada. No one in their right mind would Canada has a rich culinary tradition. What I think they do have is a lot of culinary diversity in their large urban centers, like Toronto. In Toronto you can find food from just about every country in the world.
I'm sure most colonies or former colonies like Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the U.S. had rich culinary traditions at one point, but all of us Europeans destroyed them.
I'm pretty sure Native Americans weren't eating chicken fried steak thousands of years ago. |

| Very little, of course. There are variations. Butter tarts are generally not much known beyond Canada. Lots of French Canadian cuisine has developed into culturally significant foods, like, yes, poutine, steamies, sugar pie, split pea soup. |

No but they were preparing smoked salmon(reference?) I believe they taught us how to make Atlantic smoked salmon and we just added the cream cheese, triscuits and chives. It also used to be known as 'squaw candy'
Maple tea but that's just a guess. Obviously maple syrup, which was shipped in a kind of brick-candy form to the King and Queen of England.
Newfoundland blueberry wine is supposed to be very good.
Oh and Montreal smoked meat sandwiches. Didn't Larry Waxman have them flown out to his film set everyday for lunch?
It was Africadians (African-Acadians i.e. blacks in Nova Scotia) who made lobster a delicacy in the West. According to one black historian, back in the day fishermen wouldn't even feed lobsters to their dogs. It was the black Nova Scotian population who took them up and started boiling them.
This is not so hard to believe if you look at the other sorts of 'reject' foods that black southern Union Americans took and made into delicacies - stuff like collard greens, pickled stems of lots of veggies like carrot greens, and other greens, pickled pig's feet, and so on. So although you could call lobster an international food in the sense that the crustacean dwells elsewhere, in our part of the world, it was black Nova Scotians - Canadians, who popularized it as a delicacy.
Just found this on Wiki: "The European wild lobster, including the royal blue lobster of Audresselles, is more expensive and rare than the American lobster. It was consumed chiefly by the royal and aristocratic families of France and the Netherlands. Such scenes were depicted in Dutch paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
In North America prior to the 20th century, local lobster was not a popular food. In the Maritimes, eating lobster was considered a mark of poverty or as a food for slaves or lower members of society. Lobsters were also used as a fertilizer for farms. Outside of the rural outports lobster was sold canned.
The market for lobster changed with the development of the modern transportation industry that allowed live lobsters to be shipped from the ports to large urban centres. Fresh lobster quickly became a luxury food and a tourist attraction for the Maritime provinces and Maine and an export to Europe and Japan where it is especially expensive.
The high price of lobster has led to the marketing of "faux lobster" which is clearly labeled as such. It is often made from pollock or other whitefish that has been altered to look and taste similar to lobster. A few restaurants sell "langostino lobster". Langostino translates into prawn, however the actual animal is probably a crab. Maine fishermen are upset that restaurants are passing off the fake as lobster. The spiny lobster is also called langouste. Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill sold a "Lobster Burrito" which was made from squat lobster, another crustacean which is very similar to the crab." |

Nanaimo Bar
| Quote: |
| The Nanaimo bar is a dessert of Canadian origin popular across North America.[1] A type of chocolate no-bake square, it receives its name from the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia. It consists of a crumb-based layer, topped by a layer of light custard or vanilla butter icing, which is covered in chocolate.[2] Many varieties are possible by using different types of crumb, flavours of custard or icing (e.g. mint, peanut butter), and types of chocolate. Two popular variations on the traditional Nanaimo bar involve mint flavoured custard or mocha flavoured custard. |
