Poutine, Fish and brewis, pea soup, blueberry grunt, Seal flipper pie (I kid you not), screech. ?

Were you in Canada or on another planet? I am Canadian and the only ones I have heard of are pea soup and screech, which is a local home brewed alcohol in Newfoundland I believe? Pea soup is not a "staple" food in Canada.

What do Canadians eat? McDonalds, KFC, etc?

Canadians eat what Americans do - and no we dont call it "Canadian bacon". Canadians in BC eat a lot more veggies and healthier food - you wont see pork chops etc on breakfast menus in BC. Well maybe at a truck stop?

Canadian cultures varies from Pronvince to Province.

But dont worry no one is going to try and feed you blubber or bear stew -

Canada is amazingly civilized, you cant even tell you crossed the border - until you notice people in cars passing you taking a look at you as the go by -- and when you ask how far it is to somewhere you will probably be told it's about 4 hours not the distance.

Poutine

well, I never heard of poutine before I married a Canadian.
An intersting fact is that Canada consumes more macoroni and chesse (Kraft dinner) than any other country.

I was born and raised in canada.
I have not heard of most of what was mentioned as being "canadian food".
We eat what americans eat, really.
Breakfast: eggs, bacon, ham, sausages, toast, cereal, fruit (oranges, bananas, grapefruit), oatmeal....etc.

Lunch: sandwiches (balogna, mayo, mustard, cheese, p&j), or subs, soup, burgers and fries, salads....etc.

Dinner: sausage, pork chops, steak, (deer meat... not all people like it, but some do), seafood, burgers, anything on the barbeque..., potatoes, corn, etc...

snacks: chips, dip, nachos, popcorn, kraft dinner, mr. noodles, freezies, etc...

the "fish & brewis" mentioned above is mostly east coast. (nfld)- i have family there.

Very similar to American food but Canadians usually tend to eat much healthier than their US counterparts.
Healthier if you stay away from the Poutine that is.

Butter Tarts are canadian, so are smarties and crunch chocolate bars!
poutine, the drink ceaser is canadian too.

I don't think many canadians realize that we have many products you cant get anywhere else.

just depends on what you eat.

Americans & Canadians basicly eat the same things. There are a couple dishes that are different but it's nothing major.
