This brought back wonderful memories visiting my dear friends in Ontario. On my visits, I managed to try many Canadian treats: poutine, beavertails, butter tarts, Tim Horton's maple iced donuts, ketchup chips, nanaimo bars, coffee crisps, Mackintosh bars, milk in bags, and more. And I actually had a chance to smoke a Cuban cigar before attending a Blue Jays game. I occasionally order treats online and am awaiting a shipment of Montréal bagels. Good food and good people in Canada, eh?
Love the video, im so glad that I stumbled upon it..I've lived in Canada my entire life and know of all of these, ketchup chips, candied salmon, Nanaimo bars, lobster rolls, poutine, and soooo many good items but to see it all presented in a video and representing Canada's signature cuisine, makes me a proud Canadian🇨🇦. Glad you came and tried them all!! If you ever come back and visit Manitoba, might I suggest that you try our venison and fish(northern pike, walleye, and trout).
This was a great revision of the video. You are bang on about international cuisine, e.g., there is a Georgian restaurant that I want to go to locally and amazing Korean and Persian food. Ramen shops are exploding all over Toronto. Peameal bacon on a bun is as Toronto/Ontario breakfast as you can get. We never call ham Canadian Bacon, but I used to work for a British chef that called it Irish bacon. Gryfe's bagels in Toronto are better than Montréal or New York bagels. The former are too dense. You could also speak about lobster in the Atlantic. Thank you for showing Cows! Their Apple Pie Ice Cream was the best ice cream that I have ever eaten. Donair kebob in the east is huge as well. Butter tarts should not have nuts: raisins or nothing.
Love this. Butter tarts with Pecan over Raisin hands down. My personal fave sweet treat though is the Nanaimo bar and the best place to get it is at the Hearthstone bakery in Nanaimo. Also, the sushi in Van City is the bomb and like you I've been to Japan and Sao Paolo's Libertade neighborhood and the sushi restaurants in Vancouver are on that level of goodness. Like Liam, I love the cow chips but my god our sweet treats are calorie inducing monsters. My fave poutine is Michigan which is basically bolognaise sauce. Newfoundland has several other edible wonders from Toutons to Jiggs dinner. I have to stop putting the info I was going to send you to the way side. I will send it soon guys you have my word.
I appreciated for canada food. I have dreams. I want to bring Indonesia food in Canada. Wa have a lot of delicious food here. There are Bakso, Mie Ayam, Nasi Padang, Pecel Lele, Nasi Pecel, Nasi Kuning, Bebek Madura, Sate Ayam, Soto Ayam, Rawon, Lontong Sayur. They are truly delicious.
You have to try Italian veal sandwiches. The style is unique to Toronto/GTA. I haven't seen it in Montreal, NYC, Chicago, Italy north & south ... and I've been really looking! Most popular would be the local chain with the ironic name "California Sandwiches" and San Fracesco's among many independents throughout GTA with a heavy concentration in old Little Italy and Vaughan/Woodbridge. Although they offer various options and toppings, I just do basic hot (i.e. spicy) veal. Don't forget to get some spicy olives ... and wash it down with a Brio soda. Buon apetito!
Me and most other Canadians I know don’t have maple syrup on the reg. It’s pretty expensive so is an occasional treat. And there are plenty of products that use artificial maple flavouring. Btw, Costco is a good place to pick up a litre of maple syrup at a reasonable price. 🇨🇦
For me it’s the real stuff or bust. I have some almost daily as a sweetener instead of processed sugar, but I definitely try to buy it in the cans when it’s on sale or from local farms in the spring.
@@EinkOLED I cannot walk into *YOUR* Canadian food places to order without first knowing how to speak French!! Da hell's wrong witchu people up there? Imma gonna slappa yo' faces wit da wet spahetti. Mama Mia!!!
Should do a whole video on Canadian canned foods, we have a lot that are quite good and that i wish youtubers from asround the world would try instead of all of those candies. Might not be able to shi p them great donair or poutine. But come guys, we can mail better foods then candies!
Maple syrup is not just a “Canadian thing”. U can get it all over New England. I believe Vermont is the biggest producer of it in the USA. Oh and poutine is available pretty much all over the US
Must be a regional thing. I am 40 and have lived in the US all my life and finally just had the opportunity to try poutine for the first time literally last week.
Toronto has a great restaurant scene. Come to think of it, so does Vancouver, (maybe better than Toronto's), and to some extent, so does Québec, and maybe even Montréal (although Montréal has focused on more 'niche dishes,' like bagels, & pizza). Food-wise, mostly only two cultures have made Canada what it is today: Chinese, and to a lesser extent, French. Outside of these, the third greatest positive influence on the Canadian food scene are the indigenous cultures and the many ancient local ingredients. So if you aren't going to eat "Duck Confit" or "Pâté de Foie Gras" in Québec City, or "Fried Lobster in XO Sauce" in Toronto, you'll be feasting on "Grilled Moose Steaks" in upper Saskatchewan, or "Stewed Seaweed-Berries with Salted Giant Cod" up on the coast of Labrador. Truly, Canada had a unique and underrated World-Class Culinary Scene that has yet to be discovered and explored by the more influential palettes on the planet. I just wonder which of the great (non-US) food cities will be the first to open an authentic "Canadian Restaurant," Paris, Amsterdam, Dubai, Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore, Geneva, Shanghai, Berlin, etc. My money is on Tokyo or Amsterdam. Tokyo because they are taken-in by fads there, and Amsterdam because it was the first city in Europe to open an authentic Mexican Restaurant, and because it has easier access to Canadian Ingredients. Either way, I'll be there on opening day, cash in-hand, with my mouth open and my tongue hanging out.

As a Canadian, I've watched many similar videos and would say this is the most accurate representation of our food culture. One big miss in this is Ottawa Shawarma, which is some of rhe absolute best. Also one big misconception is that Canadians love Tim Hortons, it's a cheap coffee but it is essentially comparable to Dunkins, pretty terrible stuff. Oh and Canadian bacon, nobody here eats that here regularly. We eat regular bacon like everyone else.
wrong bud, tim hortons sells more than mcdonalds in canada, so in fact canadians do spend a lot of their money at tim hortons, as a canadian u should know that,
Toronto for sheer diversity, Montreal also has diversity but specialises in more things like smoked meat, bagels and poutine. Vancouver for Asian and seafood
Poutine isnt traditional. It was invented in the 1950s and didn’t catch on outside Quebec till decades later. Traditional is anything with berries, moose, seal, or maple syrup.
It is traditional. Things get created and become traditional over time. Many foods created by Canadians are traditional not just wild berries and wild animals 😂
I'm going to Montreal in November. ALL. THE. FOOD. I'll be rewatching this video and reading through the comments on the train ride up😏
Great video! Thank you very much for sharing!
Thanks Florida :)
A donair and garlic fingers are popular here in Nova Scotia

Butter tarts with pecans or plain no add ins! 😋
PECANS TEAM !!! One of the best poutine I had ever (and i'm from Quebec) was a fresh shrimps poutine in Percé (Gaspésie, by the coast)
Oh wow. I never even considered that one. But it sounds amazing!
Indeed! Butter tart anything is good....but....pecans for the win :P
Coffee Crisp chocolate bar
Pecan pie is a must try

Butter tarts with the pecans are the best and Doritos ketchup flavoured chips are amazingly good.

The Nanaimo bar is not from Vancouver, but from the city of Nanaimo which is on Vancouver Island. Close but a separate city in a distinct area
👍👍
I love poutine when i visit Canada from the UK 👍 oh my days that funnel cake if you want tons of calories ☺

Eva's original chimney's on Bloor st...Toronto. Ice cream in a Hungarian cone. Delicious. Halifax, St John's. Port Credit and Square One too.

@Gnome Alone, eating maple syrup is also fattening as well
Québec maple butter!
the best funnel cake at Canada wonderland in Toronto dough with strawberries and whipped cream
I'm from Nova Scotia. Have you had a donair or donair sauce? It's essential here in NS
Did I not have the donair in my video? If I didn't I forgot to say it as it was in my script. Those things are GOOOOOOOD!!!
Montreal is also known for its Lebanese food. Great video, Mark!
Just had boustans last night. Amazing shawarma. They even have shawarma poutine now and their little baklava's are fantastic.
Ottawa as well. Lots of shawarma to be had in Ottawa.
My Airbnb host recommended a local Lebanese restaurant in Montreal.
I think the world is going crazy for shwarma right now. It's big here in UK too.

Nanaimo bars are from Nanaimo not Vancouver
I'm Canadian living in Vancouver and I didn't even know about salmon candy
Ice wine
Yes! From the Okanagan.

No. Poutine is not available all over the US. The maple syrup thing is huge in New England. That is true. I wish the poutine part was true though 😞
This is the eats of Canada. It doesn't exclude things from being popular in other lands as well 😀
The province of Quebec produces 72% of the total world output of maple syrup 🇨🇦 .
Obviously it's not just a Canadian thing lmao, it comes from a tree. Canada happens to have an abundance of these trees.

The British had the largest impact of food in Canada by far.
Gotta eat that brockwurst ham baby. Just gotta do it!
Soooo good
HALIFAX DONAIR ❤🤤

You definitely almost called it a pecan pie. 😅
i was close
Best pasta do you know?
The ones with nuts on the top are the better ones
Sounds like the USA
Slight riposte to the point on beer - it's stronger than american non-craft but weaker than american craft. Quite like it but it's just different.
So if you want to have a food extravaganza vacation in Canada, with only a few days, what city would you target?
Toronto for sheer diversity, Montreal also has diversity but specialises in more things like smoked meat, bagels and poutine. Vancouver for Asian and seafood
If you want to target it a bit, Québec City has a lot of excellent restaurants, it’s a great place to get to know the cuisine of Québec.
Did he say soup case? Hahahah
adcascs
lol these butter pies look gross 😂
Mmmm ... but good to eat!
That smoke meat look dry
