umm....it matters where YOU are. If you are far away from Canada and eat different food, I say you have a mixture of canadian food (roasted chicken, steak...) and some exotic food from your place. If you are really close to Canada, say in the US, then you pretty much eat the same thing.

Given our harsh winters and short summers and corresponding penchant for survival, no other nation had to be as ingenious in things culinary as Canadian. Time, was indigenous Canadian cuisine consisted of what was readily available prepared as imaginatively or as simply as circumstances allowed. Some of the original Indian recipes were roast polar bear, boiled reindeer, moose meat soup, sweet pickled beaver, squirrel fricassee, fried woodchuck. Stuffed whale breast, steamed muskrat legs, boiled porcupine, boiled caribou hoofs. Baked skunk, dried buffalo meat, baked salmon, roast or boiled corn, and acorn bread.
Today recipes for the above are almost impossible to find, because the palate of the nation graduated to more sophisticated or worldly foods.With the influx of immigrants from the four corners of the world and foodstuffs imported, many new techniques in food preparation have been adopted. Slowly but surely the nationâ€™s eating and drinking habits are changing. Delicacies previously never heard of before can be found in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver.

Just curious why alot of non canadians hang out and answer questions intended for canadians ...with just insults...then if one says something back they get mad and say we are the rude and arrogant ones...
Anyways canadians eat pretty much the same darn things as AMericans !!!!!!!!

I live in Canada, dont give them anything Canadian, although its geat food, they will probably like a change.
I would do some pasta, Cjicken, with sauce, veg etc, or your favourite dish, simple quick and they will love it.
ps: Garlic Bread.
and of Course Some Wine and Beer(cold).

Whatever you usually prepare for your friends from home. Most Canadians like to experiment with new foods to expand their palate.

Have fun!!

I'm making sausages, fries (chips) and broccoli.

When I need to channel Canadiana, I make me some Nanaimo bars.

Treat them to something that is special to your area of the world, some delicacy that is unique to your culture or country. If I am invited to eat with friends from another country I look forward to experiencing something different, something I haven't had before. Canadians are like most of the rest of the world - some of them like all kinds of food and some are very traditional, so ask them if there is anything they would particularly not like in case of allergies, or especially not liking a certain herb or spice. Other than that, go with your instincts and offer them something that is uniquely you, rather than trying to offer them something familiar. Have fun.

Canadians eat just the same things as most Americans with the exception of hog jowls, grits etc. We eat beef, chicken, pork,fish etc and any and all vegetables. Potatoes, pasta and rice as we are very ethnically diverse. For that matter a Big Mac or a Whopper goes down just fine as well.
