It is true that there are not many "original" Canadian cuisines, however, as a diverse country where many ethnic groups live in harmony, Canadian cuisine has also been influenced by cultures from all over the world, forming its own unique style.
Canadians have different opinions about what this list should include, but one thing is certain – it's not just poutines and cheese fries.
Recently, people on Reddit have given their choices after being asked "what is Canadian food", and the answers are very Canadian.
But "unfortunately", while there have been more than 300 reviews, there is no consensus and none of the foods have been selected as the recognized Canadian representative.
The most popular nominations, quite surprisingly, were two Canadian snacks, "Hawkins Cheese and Coffee Crisp":

Unexpectedly, snacks have become the main representative of Canadian cuisine, and some people replied, "Don't forget the Canadian ginger soda".

When it comes to the real meal, the "Ginger Beef and Hawaiian Pizza" winners are the winners, while others add that the "Fat Boy" and Halifax Beef Pita Breads should also be counted.

Fat Boy is a burger from Winnipeg that comes in a variety of different versions, but what hasn't changed is the cheeseburger with mayonnaise, mustard, onions, lettuce, tomato, gherkins, and a lot of bolognese.
Someone else noted: "Don't forget that California rolls (sushi) were invented in Vancouver." ”
Some netizens from BC Province pointed out that the smoked salmon in BC is the best in the world. But there are also people who stand up against it: this thing is also in Alaska.

Bannock, a dry bread popular in Western Canada, also has no low votes:

A netizen who may be from cold central Canada said that his Canadian cuisine is "roasting a hot dog over a campfire in -25 degrees weather."

Do you still think macaroni and cheese is a Canadian delicacy, or is it only Kraft Dinner?

Well, you're not alone, and quite a few people think it should fall into the category of "Canadian cuisine."

And what about tomato-flavored potato chips? Well, what you might not expect is that it's a very Canadian flavor that has been longed for by the American people next door. Last year, an American father and son traveled long distances to Canada just to pull a cartload of Lay's tomato chips home.
Of course, Canada's food list is complete with Nanaimo bars, Montreal-styled bagels and Tourtière.
In fact, Canada is a vast and diverse country, and the special food is also different from place to place.
As one netizen summed it up: "Anything can be Canadian cuisine, we can borrow from anywhere because we are part of it, we can adapt/integrate/deconstruct at will, because we are cosmopolitan and not bound by tradition." ”
