The Super Dooper Canadian Thread (now with 47% more Canadian Bacon)

[blotsfan]

What is traditional Canadian food? Our culture isn't old enough to have come up with much on it's own and unlike the states, we don't claim ownership over stuff that was invented elsewhere (yeah, I said it, eat it).

There's stuff like bannock (and if you don't like bannock, you're a bad person) but even that is European in origin.

We will, thank you.

I think it all evens out though. Theres a ton of food we invented that we give to other cultures (see @Calleja; tacos).

 

[checkeredhat]

What about Nanaimo bars? You like Nanaimo bars right?[DOUBLEPOST=1379385633,1379385522][/DOUBLEPOST]Wait, how in the hell is Perogi even on that list? Did they poll a very large 1st generation Ukranian/ Russian/ Polish area where they didn't understand the question?

 

[Frank]

I know I do.

Perogis being on there is bizarre. Yeah, Alberta has a giant perogi statue, but we didn't invent it. They're delicious though.

Interesting being on the list, and quite awesome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doner_kebab#Canada Aka: Donairs

I know they only mention Atlantic, but you can't go 12 feet in Alberta without hitting a donair shop. The one nearest me, Simply Donair makes some of the most ridiculous donairs I've ever eaten. Rookies go in and order a large, no normal human can handle a large (it tips the scale at 2 kilos).

I'm from Alberta, and agree. They're also pretty common in B.C.

Any word from Ontario? Methinks either wiki is T.O.-centric (big surprise) or it's just out of date.

 

[checkeredhat]

I had never heard of Donairs until I saw Goon. We have Schwarma everywhere in the GTA, but I've never seen a Donair place.

Someone ate the toe... (Video in the link)

The Downtown Hotel, in Dawson City, Yukon, has a tradition. For $5, patrons can order the Sourtoe Cocktail, a shot of whiskey containing a severed, preserved human toe. You must let the toe touch your lips. You must not swallow the toe, on pain of a $500 fine. On Saturday, a man swallowed the toe.

 

[checkeredhat]

not the first time that's happened either.

 

[Shakey]

First time it was on purpose though. It looked like the guy was gonna yack. He chewed it a few times before getting it down. I wonder how that's gonna feel coming out of the pooper.

I hope he does not get a hangnail.

I just finally watched the video. That is a mullet unlike any I have seen in years.

Canadians, do me a favor and clarify something for me. Do many Canadians actually put ketchup on their Kraft Dinners? It came up in a conversation today, and was supposedly confirmed by a person in Winnipeg.

If it is true - why would you put ketchup on macaroni and cheese? Wouldn't that be...I dunno...terrible?

 

[HCGLNS]

Several do. I like it at times, but my main addition is Kraft Parmesan Cheese.

Thats because you are a good person.

My kids like it with chopped up hot dogs.

Eriol does, always. I sometimes will, but generally prefer hot sauce.

Mac & Cheese with hot sauce FTW!

 

[PatrThom]

When I was young, we'd add tuna and peas and call it dinner.

[Dirona]

Ug. My mother always insisted on adding tuna as well. One of the most disgusting things I have ever been made to eat.

Ketchup, hot dogs.

It's the beni-sociale meal when nothing else is in the fridge and you were too fucking lazy to hit the grocery store.

its a controversial topic. its pretty common but I don't know if its the norm. I put ketchup in it as a kid. stopped that in high school. Now if I actually make it, which I rarely do cause I'm no longer a child or a college student and not yet a parent, I add in a little basil and garlic and some extra cheese but certainly not ketchup.

 

[Frank]

I'll add ketchup to Kraff dinner. I'm not gonna make any pretensions that I'm not eating boxed cheap crap.

If I add bacon to Kraff, which is tasty as heyell, then ketchup is not necessary.

A note for y'all in Canuckistan:

One of the concession stands at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville is going to be selling Poutine for fans attending Predators hockey games.

They will have a distinct twist to it, though: with the fries and the cheese curds, they will top the concoction, not with brown gravy, but with southern sausage gravy.

It actually sounds good to me.

 

[Frank]

Congrats on managing to make it worse for you.

I'd try it. I've had various varieties of poutine, and sometimes what sounds like it'd be bad can actually be decent, so unless it's putting concentrated evil on it (aka: Marmite), I'll at least try it first.

 

[Dirona]

Marmite is delicious your plebeian!

(and in small doses could actually work on poutine...)

Yep, plenty of people I know do this. Also grilled cheese sandwiches get dipped in ketchup. I find both pretty unpleasant, though.

Sriracha and mac & cheese, though... mmm

I don't eat that trash. Haven't since I was six.

This is awesome. I've never been to Calgary, and I'm obviously not a Flames fan, but I do know a thing or two about recovering from flooding.
It's a bit long (it's the entire documentary), but it's worth the view.

 

[PatrThom]

Oh, c'mon now. Kraft dinners are basically just Hamburger/Tuna Helper but with a different nametag.
And putting Vege/Marmite on something is a bit like eating straight boullion cubes...a little taste goes a loooong way.

As a joke, I dared my sister to try her snack crackers with a little Marmite. Didn't quite worked out as planned.

She loved it.
