N to Z
Nanaimo Bars
British Columbia
A three-tiered cake: chocolate layer over a custardy icing layer over a crumb layer. It's cut into squares.
Oka Cheese
Quebec Province
A French-style creamy, semi-soft cheese with buttery, nutty, pungent notes.
Pate Chinois
Quebec Province
Literally, “Chinese Pie”. It’s like a Shepherd’s Pie, except a corn layer lies between the meat and mashed potato layers.
Planked Salmon
British Columbia
Fillets are cooked on a wooden plank hugging a campfire.
Poutine
Quebec Province
French fries and cheese curds are mixed together and crowned with gravy. Some call it and the Tourtiere the national dishes of Canada.
Tourtiere
Quebec Province
Pork pie with an enveloping flaky crust. Other meats can be used, too. It is traditionally served after Christmas midnight mass.
Saskatoon Berries
Saskatchewan
It's not a berry, but visually resembles blueberries. In taste, it's milder and a bit sweeter. Used in jam, jellies, syrups, dressings, and pies.
Note
I did not include popular Canadian specialties like bannock (Indian fried bread), Belon oysters, bison (buffalo), Brome Lake duck, donairs, lobsters, and wild rice because they (or similar versions) are also associated with the cuisines of other countries. But do try them when in Canada.
