Some widespread, uniquely Canadian dishes to add to the mix...

-Nanaimo Bars
-Saskatoon Berry Pie
-Montreal Smoked Meat on Rye

Quebecois food (eg. tarte au sucre, poutine, crepes, tourtiere, is arguably Canadian - I see it as more Quebecois than anything "Canadian" I'd eat out here in Alberta. When in Rome...

For me, Canadian cuisine is similar to American - it is our regional specialties that shine. Alberta beef, Taber corn, anything from the Okanagan Valley, Niagara Ice Wine, Malpeque Oysters, BC Wild Salmon, PEI mussels & potatoes, Armstrong Cheese....etc etc.

We have just as many regional specialties as the US does, too. Is there any region in the states well-known for its Fish and Chips? No. But we have Newfoundland. Is there any place in the USA where almost every restaurant serves perogies, bacon, and sour cream? No. But we have the Regina-Winnipeg corridor.
