Canadian delicacies you need to try

If you are travelling to Canada, then you definitely need to try some of these sweet and savoury treats.

Nanaimo Bars

Famed for its layered look, these bars traditionally comprised of graham cracker crumbs, coconut, cocoa, vanilla custard, and chocolate. Requiring no baking time, Nanaimo bars can also be made with mint or peanut butter.

Ice Wine

Frozen ice wine grapes are handpicked from the vine, and owe their unique taste to Mother Nature and Canada’s chilly temperatures. Each icy grape provides a single drop of frozen juice, so once sufficient liquid is collected, this valuable nectar creates a rare, sweet dessert wine bursting with flavour.

Poutine

Combine French fries, hot gravy and cheese curds and you have poutine. Hailing from Québec, this dish is beloved by hungry Canadians. You can also add bacon, chicken and even truffles, but nothing beats the original recipe.

Game Meat

You can find a range of domestic game at butcher shops, including venison (elk, deer, moose), bison, boar, and rabbit. Leaner, and lower in fat and calories than cow, game meat is a healthier mealtime alternative.

Tourtière

Tourtière is a hearty French Canadian meat pie that consists of a thin, flakey crust encasing diced pork, onion, garlic, and spices. Variations of the original recipe abound with some ingredient lists including ground chicken, beef, salmon, veal or game meats, as well as potatoes, rolled oats, cinnamon and white wine.
