I had a special request from a reader to write a post about the foods that Canadians eat. In doing my research for this post, I discovered that we have some pretty interesting names for some of the specialty food that is unique to us. I compiled a list of fun foods that have their history in Canada. I tried to include links that had a bit of information about the history of the recipe. Enjoy having a look at and or trying some of these creatively named recipes.

• Moosehunter Cookies
• Beaver Tails
• Poutine
• Butter Tarts
• Nanaimo Bars
• Tortiere
• Figgy Duff
• Sucre à la crème
• Sugar pie
• Toutin or Tiffin
• Persians
• Bannock
• Cape Breton Oatcakes
• Crepes With Snow
• Flapper Pie
• Maple Syrup on Snow (no link - just put Maple Syrup on Snow)

What recipes are native to where you live? I would love it if you would share your recipes (or links to them) in the comments.
