Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

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. This atlas has 38 Canada dishes catalogued below, from everyday cooking to food kept for festivals and special occasions.
