The Great Rockies are not the only thing about Canada to marvel at.
When it comes to food, Canadian gastronomical delights are lesser known than their American counterpart, but those who shift outside the norms to try out Canadian cuisine are appreciative of their food. Sure, their pizzas are deemed to be sweet, but beavertails are impressive desserts. And yes, their love for ketchup is overwhelming, but it's about embracing the food with no judgment.
Here are the must-try Canadian foods.
The crown jewel of Canadian cuisine is poutine. Fries, cheese, and gravy make up for a hefty meal, often quenching hunger for post-midnight snacks. For toppings, there are umpteen choices for animal protein.
You can't complete a tour of Canadian food without trying out maple syrup. Canada's staple pride is its maple syrup, and if you aren't lathering your pancake with it, you won't know the immediate love for it.
Chocolate ganache top and coconut-tasting crust cover the middle portion filled with custard cream, making up this square-shaped dessert called Nanaimo bars. It is a true Canadian beloved and can be found in most bakeries and coffee shops.
This Nova Scotia delicious food is an absolute delight for seafood lovers. The hot dog bun with lobster combines to makes for a great sandwich you won't regret trying.
A butter tart is another Canadian delight, and a sweet-filled pastry with a sickly sugary filling is a little drop of heaven.
Montreal bagels are made on a wood fire and are another popular Canadian dessert. It's thinner than the bagels you would have eaten. It is also sweeter and denser.
Yes, soup is on this list of must-try Canadian dishes. The soup is considered a distant relative of a recipe that was brought by travelers from France, but it has added its own Canadian twist. Comfort food in the cold winters, and Quebec is famous for this soup.
All dressed chips are Canadian chips with a combination of flavors -sour cream, onion, barbeque, salt, vinegar, and, of course, ketchup, making it sweet, salty, tangy, and savory all at once. A must-try!
