I absolutely love Tim Hortons. It's a must-stop whenever I'm in Canada. Best doughnuts I've ever had. I also like their sandwiches. Although we have Tims in the States now, too.

Went to Au Pied du Cochon a few years ago. It's as good as advertised.

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? :)

I love Swiss Chalet too.....*sigh*

Only because you guys haven't had St-Hubert. I miss it so living out west now.

All-you can eat coleslaw, plus chicken that would make Swiss Chalet chickens drool.

I've had St-Hubert many times before they closed their Ontario locations...I never found it to be better than Swiss Chalet, but it wasn't bad in its own right.

Swiss Chalet dipping sauce is so delicious, you can eat it like a soup...and it's only 15 calories per serving.

Amen brother. St-Hubert ROCKS. If there's one place I make sure to go to when I visit my folks in Canada, it's St-Hub'!

HTSC

Never been to St-Hubert! The only Quebec chain I've been to is Mike's, which I remember had a killer sugar pie.

Canada doesn't have a food identity because we're a diverse nation and it's all mixed.

If someone says 'Italian', they think pasta; 'French' is escargot and 'British' is just matter.

Anything maple is a Canadian thing, I guess?

Or poutine.

All Dressed and Ketchup crisps.

i enjoyed tim hortons

tim hortons beats dunkin donuts, but krispy kreme freshly made original are good

canada does have quebec for french cuisine

Google 'Beavertail'.

It's a thing.

Maybe, but I'm afraid of seeing cameltoe or mooseknuckle. I'm not going to trust you on this one.

It's a real thing. Even President Obama has had some tail in Canada. ;)

Sounds like it should be 180 degrees from a whale tail. :D

It might be a west coast thing but Harvey's is non-existent in YYC.

There's... One?
