In honour of Thanksgiving, the CBC has posted some interesting video clips, compiled from over the years, all around the theme of Canadian Cuisine. Videos which explore foods such as poutine, doughnuts, fiddleheads, Nanaimo bars, Saskatoon Berry Pie, Canadian cheddar cheese, and maple syrup will leave you scratching your head in a national identity crisis. What is our culinary identity?
From the CBC Archives...
Is there such a thing as Canadian cuisine? The idea of ordering "Canadian" may have some scratching their heads. But Canada has given the world its share of gastronomic delights. From peameal bacon to poutine to pemmican, CBC Archives digs in to some distinctly homegrown fare.
See the videos...

for a gastronomicean(i just made that word up) i appreciated the historic take of this blog posting. i dont quite know if i could do the apple pie with canadian cheddar and crumbled bacon, but i would try it.
OMG! That ham shot is hilarious! Love it. You should send it to CBC or better yet, Rick Mercer ;)
Well I can't take credit for the photograph... I wish I would have thought of that!!!
Of course, I would have used Yves Veggie Ham Slices™, and that would have made it completely not Canadian... but who would have known?
Thanks for the comments :)
