How many of the pictured dishes, drinks and desserts can you name?
I expect 2 at best.
Let me describe them, left to right, top to bottom.
1. Poutine, originated in Quebec
French fries, gravy and cheese curds. The gravy is a special kind, and so is the cheese, you can't just take some cheddar and random gravy. Recipes for the sauce are online, but the cheese is only found here. Much better when served right after the cheese and sauce have been poured. If the fries are soggy and the cheese all melted, it's fucked. If the cheese makes a "squishy" sound it means it's fresh.
2. Tourtière, originated in Quebec
A simple meat pie made with minced pork and salty herbs, some variants (like the Saguenay one) have potatoes inside, but that's not necessary
3. Nanaimo Bars, originated in British Columbia
A bottom layer kinda like a wafer, with a layer of custard and covered in chocolate. Extremely tasty and easy to make. Raw.
4. Beaver tail, originated in Ontario
Fried dough that can be covered with various topping, chocolate, maple syrup/butter, whipped cream, etc. Name comes from the shape. Of course.
5. Butter Tart, originated in Ontario
Flaky pastry filled with a mixture of butter, sugar/syrup and eggs. Bakes until top hardens a bit. Can also be made with pecans, or raisins if you are a terrorist (don't do this).
Rest in next post.
