Just back from Toronto and did my 'carousel of treats'. Not necessarily all Canadian 'cuisines' per se, but tasty nonetheless.

1. Swiss Chalet. This is the chicken soup and chicken dipping sauce that God eats. Consistently tender, moist, perfectly cooked chicken, heavenly dipping sauce, mouth-watering fries, and the only chicken soup I can claim equals my Mom's without getting slapped upside the head

2. Pizza Pizza. Normally very tasty for a late night snack, but this visit was disappointing - made even more so by the fact I walked 4 miles before picking up my slices so they wouldn't attach themselves directly to my a$$ after consumption

3. KFC - believe it not, the 'original recipe' in Canada tastes different (and better) than the current US version, and the coleslaw is absolutely pure bliss (if it's possible for coleslaw to be blissful)

4. Tim Hortons - double chocolate, boston creme, strawberry blossom

5. Harvey's - My favorite hamburger after In-N-Out. A double without cheese with a few carefully chosen toppings and a side of steaming hot poutine...yum!

6. Rol San Chinese on Spadina - OK, not Canadian per se, but some of the best dim sum outside Hong Kong, or Richmond BC for that matter

7. Shreddies - my favorite cereal and breakfast of choice each morning. I once brought 5 boxes home with me - upon seeing my stash, the US Customs inspector gave me a knowing glance and commented what a good idea I had

8. Brought home some packs of Smarties, Coffee Crisp and make-at-home Swiss Chalet marinade and dipping sauce for my chicken fixes until I get back there in September. Did I mention how much I love Swiss Chalet?
