Canada

Canada’s food is built around maple-sweetened comfort food blending French, British, and Indigenous traditions with multicultural city fare. Look for Poutine (fries topped with cheese curds and hot gravy; Quebecois late-night classic), Tourtière (spiced pork and beef pie, a Quebecois Christmas tradition) and Butter tart (gooey butter-sugar filling in flaky pastry, sometimes with raisins). Born in rural Quebec in the late 1950s; Warwick’s Le Lutin qui rit and Drummondville’s Le Roy Jucep both claim to have first combined fries, curds and gravy.
