Canadian cuisine

Canadian cuisine is the type of food that is cooked and eaten in Canada. It is influenced by food from around the world, especially France and Britain. Popular dishes include poutine (fries topped with cheese curds and gravy), maple syrup on pancakes or waffles, tourtière (a spiced meat pie), and Nanaimo bars (chocolate bars with a filling of custard, coconut, and nuts). Many foods from Canada's First Nations (Indigenous peoples) such as bannock (fried bread) and wild game meats, such as moose and bison, are also a part of Canadian cuisine.
