When I think of Canadian food, my mind draws a complete blank. If you have any recommendations, please list them here. Furthermore, if you can think of any Canadian "drinks," you are welcome to brainstorm with me. There is the obvious maple syrup, but what to serve it with? Your recommendations should be easy to make (or buy) by inhospitable hands. Failing success, I suppose I could impersonate as a German, but it would be a tough sell to the Poles.   | ||

I think something better (though not necessarily Canadian, but North American) would be something with pancakes/crepes (whatever you call the thin ones). This works well for breakfast: Pancakes with shrimp and broccoli. Marinade shrimp in some garlic/olive oil/basil/lemon/spice/soy sauce concoction. Make thin crepes. Boil, then saute broccoli. Make Alfredo sauce. (I haven't seen it anywhere in Europe - and I've looked. No one has heard of this kind of sauce). On a crepe, combine sauteed shrimp and broccoli, pour with sauce, fold over pancake. Nothing hard here as long as you know how to make crepes. This has turned out ridiculously good every time I've made it. It's a good, light breakfast, and if you want to be truly Canadian, you can serve it with coffee with maple syrup (which adds as a good substitute for sugar and makes it tastes mmm... add nutmeg for best results). I was going to post this recipe once on TL but I never got around to it, though I did it and took pictures of the process, so lemme know if you're interested and I'll try to get them for you. Where will you be in Ireland? When and where will you be staying in Poland? EDIT: Canadian whiskey? Dr. Pepper? ... no such thing as a Canadian drink, I think. | ||

but off the top of my head... what about BC smoked salmon? prbly will be hella expensive to make or even impossible in poland though you could also try to get some raw moose/whale/seal i forget what that inuits actually eat up north haha that will be great to present, and also prbly impossible to get oh right, also ginger beef lol, which like fortune cookies and other stuff, is actually not real chinese cuisine, but food made by chinese restaurants way back in north america and marketed as chinese food. if i remember correctly ginger beef originated from alberta you could prbly make ginger beef, to my knowledge it's just a strip of beef covered in some kind of thick fried starchy shit EDIT: oh man, even the canadian cuisine shouts out the multinational country that is canada... smoked salmon and raw seafood from natives, poutine from french ppl, ginger beef from chinese ppl... lol... | ||

Drinks? For beer we have Molson and Sleeman (Honey Brown mmm... awesome beer). I could say Granville Island Brewing but they seem more local than national to me... BC is also known for its Okanagan Ice Wine (nice gift to give to the boss after vacation) and there's a ton of maple syrup in our tourist shops so im willing to say it's one of the foods Canada's known for. | ||

that's like how some ppl think polar bears roam canadian streets, while other people don't even know polar bears lived in canada; of course you could go one more level and have ppl who dont know what canada is or what polar bears are. unfortuantely not all of them are children =p | ||
