This is an under explored subject. I am an immigrant. When we first came to Canada, we tried to cook food from our home country using ingredients found back home. But that quickly proved too expensive.
We adopted slowly. Replacing ingredients with cheaper local ingredients. Years later, our home cooked meals resemble food from the home country but it is different. We noticed this more when we have relatives visit us.
I think a lot of immigrants to Canada have a similar experience. Some people even invent complete new dishes because they change their home country’s dish so much.
We are Canadian ,we cook a lot of internationally inspired foods, as authentic as we can make it without trying too hard, we have done Greek, Mexican, Asian ( different regions), French, Italian . Takeout is often vietnamese or japanese, special dinners at home would be prime rib or steak. Baked salmon and salad is frequent meal as is chicken and dumplings or any american comfort food like meatloaf, hamburgers etc. Growing up my diet was much less varied: meat, potatoes and veggies which I think is typical of european immigrant families.
Thanks for your comment! 😊
Thank you for this video - my friend wanted me to show him "homestyle Canadian food" but not like steak or grilled salmon and I'd already shared poutine so this was the perfect explanatory video 🤗💖
I'm glad I could help you explain Canadian food to your friend. 😊 It's not an easy thing to do!

Really informative, thank you very much 😀😀 My daughter is soon moving to Canada and it is so good to know information like this 👍👍👍👍
I’m glad this video was helpful! Best of luck to your daughter! 😊
HappyTravels thanks for making this type of content, in 2022 I will move to canada so it's really helpful for me, again thank you so much.
You’re so welcome!! Best of luck with your plans to move to Canada! 😊
@@happytravelstv thanks 😊

I live in canada and sometimes theirs lot of crimes here in saskatoon here
It can really depend upon where you live in Canada. Since I live in Toronto, it is extremely easy to get any type of food. You can find ingredients in the local grocery stores or take out from restaurants. As a teacher, I can see the lunches that are brought to school. It is incredible the variety that the kids bring daily.
Thanks for sharing! 😊 We definitely have a wide of variety of food in Canada, especially in the bigger cities.
One whole video about Canadian food and not one mention of KDs???? KD stands for Kraft Dinner, which is macaroni and cheese. It's the Canadian equivalent of instant ramen. Almost every kitchen in Canada has at least 1 box of KD in the pantry.
😂 You’re right! I think I’ll have to make a Part 2!!!
Thanks for sharing this ♥️♥️
Thanks for watching! 😊
I live on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. You will find scallops, lobster and baked beans consumed in my house.
Sounds delicious!! 😊
I am Canadian and I eat a lot of stuff you said

When it comes to baked goods, what do you eat for summer and winter time? Thank you.
Glad to know Traditional Canadian Foods, I'm from Philippines
Nice to meet you! Glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
Damn not only was this video informative... But I Just bought a couple of tickets to Canada 😂
Thanks! And have a great trip! 😊
Yeah same with me I only eat poutine about 2 or 3 a year
Thanks for the vid
You’re welcome! 😊
There’s a lot of Canadian food
Lobster sandwiches, chowders, different types of seafood and shellfish downers bologna, potato dishes, stews, hot sandwiches, fly pepperoni, boiled vegetables, poutine, fish and chips, sausages, molasses bread, pancakes, and maple syrup. Those are some familiar dishes, but the list goes on and on don’t forget our stews
It sounds like you’re from the Maritimes! The food on your list sound delicious, but very different from what’s available on the Prairies. I guess there are big differences between the food in the various regions of Canada.
We eat everything and that’s the beauty of Canada.
Thank you for your comment! 😊
Our neighbors to the north eat the same things we do in the US! I have never had poutine but want to try - if you know where I can get authentic poutine in the US, I'd love to know...
Good question! I don’t know if there is any place that has authentic poutine. Let me know if you find some!
You’d best make it yourself 🙂
I am from India, and i was curious on what canadian foods are. Much healthy and different from us. Here people believe western foods are what we see at McDonalds😀
I’m glad I could show you that we eat more than McDonalds! 😊
Seriously? McDonald's is the only western food for us? Extremely antiquated of you.... Or just being very basic, from the 70s?
Wow very basic understanding of life😂...sorry for u
Very interesting your channel
Thank you so much! 😊

Couldnt have said it better myself, though I suppose you missed out on wild game. Ive had it every once in a while at my friends place. Although not everyone has access to wild game meat.
Thanks! Definitely difficult to find wild game here. The only place I’ve had it is at a friend’s place as well.

I am curious how common is eating horse in Canada 🇨🇦 do a lot of people eat it?
It’s not very common. I’ve never seen it in a store or on a menu in a restaurant.
@@happytravelstv have you ever had it?
I have tried it, but not in Canada.😊 I had horse sashimi when I was in Japan. I mention it in my "Food in Japan" video. czcams.com/video/hjK3jXBkh80/video.html
We do have traditional foods altho theres really 2 kinds of traditional foods the english Canadian and the français Canadien
So leys start with english Canadian:
Canadian sushi (replace the fish with bacon)
Canadian pizza (bacon mushroom cheese and tomsto sauce)
Donair (a wap made of pita bread onions tomato sweet-sauce and the special donair meat)
Next is français Canadien:
Poutine (fry cheese curds and gravy)
Hot dog (original name chien chaud)
Ketchup chip
Dill pickle chip
All dressed chip
Fèves au lard (beans melace and pig fat)
Oreil de crisse (looks like overcoocked bacon)
Smocked meat sandich (2 thin slices of bread mustard and lots of smoke meat)
Paté chinois (mashed potato corn ground beef served qith ketchup)
Tourtière (pie dought ground beef celery and carrot powder served with ketchup)
Rhubarb pie (made with rhubarb and strawberry)
There is also traditional veggie soup but forgot the name (tomato onion carrot celery turnip and cabbage cooked atleast 2hours max heat so the turnip op flavor gets mixed with every else otherwise it wont be as good)
-
So despite your claim im afraid to say that Canada really is the capital of junk food and if you want to see more of our obsession with bacon then look up the popular CZcams channel called EpicMealTime
Et oui je suis français Canadien de l'ontario
Im from iran
How is gravy made?would you Guide me.
Actually, I’ve never made gravy. But I found this recipe www.inspiredtaste.net/36231/easy-gravy-recipe/
I went to canadian house fordinner and they made 3 pots of mash potato and roast beef, gravy.
That sounds very Canadian! 😊
Please I need someone or company that can sponsor me to work abroad and pay later to the company or the person.Thank you
Unfortunately, I can’t help you, but I hope you find someone.
@@happytravelstv Thanks

you forgot popsicles 😉
edit: and icesicles
Great addition!
This is a very general video, so there are many Canadian foods that I “forgot”. 😉
Today is Sunday and I am having the very traditional Canadian Sunday lunch/dinner today: roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, roasted potatoes, with vegetables (peas, carrots and cabbage). Yes, this meal is originally from the UK, but so many of us in English Canada have had this on Sunday it's as much ours as it is theirs. :)
Thanks for your comment! I’ve had this meal for Christmas dinner.
Thanks I want to open a Restaurant in Spain that has Canadian,American and Mexican food is gonna be called “Los Tres Amigos”
Cool idea! Good luck with your restaurant! 😃

I am indian, I used to be cook. After watching many videos, I came to know there is huge difference in indian food and foreign food. In our indian food . Roti (bread) rice. And daal(curry) is main food we eat it every day. And for taste we uses very other foods. And I was assuming that same pattern in other countries food. But I came to know their's main dish is combination of main food mixe with tasty side food. Main food is 40 % like rice .Seagate. noodle. 60% meat eggs sausages veggies. In one dish. That's all. Different concepts of home made food. . I was confused. Now I am not. My mistake was serching different part in meal. In india 75% is roti rice curry. And only 25% is tasty food. We first eat roti(bread) with tasty food. After finishing roti and half amount of tasty food. We takes rice and curry. We accomplished it by remaning tasty food. 😊😊😊.
It’s so interesting how there are not only different flavours around the world, but also different concepts and ways of eating! Thanks for sharing your “lightbulb moment” (realization)!
I ❤️ Canadian food because it’s a country with a lot of diversity
I love Canada’s diversity too! 😊

Thanks for watching! 😊
I get that Canadians eat a lot of international cuisines, like Pho, Thai, Indian etc.. Thing is, that is not Canadian food. Does Canada have a version of U.S. southern Soul Food? Which was created on U.S. soil by African Americans, with input & ingredients from Native Americans? What were your grand parents eating in the 40's & 50's, before all of the immigrants from developing countries arrived? Surely there must be some foods/ dishes that were/ are uniquely Canadian? Also, what about Indigenous/ native Canadian food?
Thanks for your comment!
I don't think Canada has any versions of southern Soul Food, although every immigrant and settler always tries to replicate the food of their homeland using what is available to them. Many Canadians of my parents' and grandparents' generation ate some version of the "old style" meal that I mention in my video at around 1:35. They would've also eaten the food from their homelands in Europe. Indigenous people in Canada lost much of their culture, including their food culture, because of the residential schools, but I think that the Indigenous people in the area of Canada where I live (Manitoba) ate a lot of buffalo / bison in the pre-European-contact times. You can still find bison meat in some stores in Manitoba.
There are some other uniquely Canadian foods, but many of them are versions of foods from other countries. You can read about a few of them here: fuelforthesole.com/canadian-food-famous-best-meals-dishes/.
@@happytravelstv Thanks for the feedback. I looked at the link and found it very informative. That is actually what I was looking for. It did list some traditional Canadian foods, as well as food from other parts of the world, which has been adopted into Canadian cuisine, with a local twist.
In regards to Indigenous food where I live (U.S.). It is the same scenarios here, we also had residential schools, which served to wipe out Native American culture, languages and cuisine to a great extent. From what I hear most Native cuisine has disappeared. Even on reserves the majority of Indigenous people eat the same foods that other Americans eat. Which is what they find in grocery stores. Not much still exists in the way of authentic Native cuisine in the U.S. That said, Natives throughout the Americas have had a tremendous impact on food around the entire world. Indigenous people in the Americas hybridized and developed most of the staple food crops that the entire world eats. Namely beans, corn, potatoes, and squash. Just imagine there there were no beans or potatoes in Europe, Asia or Africa prior the 1400's, until early European settlers brought these Native American crops back to Europe and subsequently the rest of the world. Hard to imagine Ireland without potatoes or India without bean dishes. Thanks again!
The cheese and poutin reminds me of the food in the netherlands
Interesting! 😃
Canadian food is diverse because we are a diverse population. As a Chinese person, I'll try a lot of different foods.
It’s great to try different foods, isn’t it? 😊

Hawaiian Pizza is made in Canada....

czcams.com/video/xvuAGW0RkHI/video.html
I like Canadian foods
Canadian food.... poutine, pea soup, peameal bacon, maple beans, maple syrup, babrbeque meat done low and slow, pizza pops are only Canadian, lobster, canned soup and canned pasta, all Dutch oven recipes and camping food is canadian
Great examples! 😊
Poutine is from Quebec Which the province has and still is trying to separate "separatists" from the rest of Canada. Pizza pops? Lol We'll pizza is Italian. Bacon and maple syrup? Uhh... Foods that are cooked low and slow is vague. I say real Canadian food is whatever indigenous people are known to eat. It's just a shame that their food and rich culture had been successfully erased and hidden from Canadas history and is only becoming noticed now and still not a prominent as other foods. It's funny that a lot of Canadians always have something negative to say about the U.S.A but they always tie-in themselves with Americans when describing Canadian food. Lol I think Canada is the only country in the world that would have the most difficulty opening an authentic Canadian restaurant. Still a great country.
Some interesting points. Thanks for your comment. 😊
@@johnfab653 So what do indigenous Canadians eat may I ask?
Toronto has a great restaurant scene. Come to think of it, so does Vancouver, (maybe better than Toronto's), and to some extent, so does Québec, and maybe even Montréal (although Montréal has focused on more 'niche dishes,' like bagels, & pizza). Food-wise, mostly only two cultures have made Canada what it is today: Chinese, and to a lesser extent, French. Outside of these, the third greatest positive influence on the Canadian food scene are the indigenous cultures and the many ancient local ingredients. So if you aren't going to eat "Duck Confit" or "Pâté de Foie Gras" in Québec City, or "Fried Lobster in XO Sauce" in Toronto, you'll be feasting on "Grilled Moose Steaks" in upper Saskatchewan, or "Stewed Seaweed-Berries with Salted Giant Cod" up on the coast of Labrador. Truly, Canada had a unique and underrated World-Class Culinary Scene that has yet to be discovered and explored by the more influential palettes on the planet. I just wonder which of the great (non-US) food cities will be the first to open an authentic "Canadian Restaurant," Paris, Amsterdam, Dubai, Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore, Geneva, Shanghai, Berlin, etc. My money is on Tokyo or Amsterdam. Tokyo because they are taken-in by fads there, and Amsterdam because it was the first city in Europe to open an authentic Mexican Restaurant, and because it has easier access to Canadian Ingredients. Either way, I'll be there on opening day, cash in-hand, with my mouth open and my tongue hanging out.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! 😊
Most Indians think Europeans and North Americans eat bread and jam only 😄
Oh, that’s funny! 😆

how about fish tho? isnt some fish dishes traditional? and game meat? some local nerry desserts? there is so many ways one can prepare fish and game:). i feel bit sad that northern countries kind of have the boring food stamp on us and most of our foods are brought in by other nations foods. but i strongly believe that those local ingrediences just need some pimping. northerns are quite passive, we let other cultures shadow our food kind of
I live far from the ocean, so I guess I don't think of fish very often. On the west coast of Canada there is lots of salmon, and there is lobster on the east coast. In my province (Manitoba), we have some lake fish such as pickerel. Some people hunt, and they would eat game meat, but I haven't seen it in stores or restaurants very often. Canada is a northern country, but we have people from so many different countries living here, including Indigenous people. Some people talk about using more local ingredients, but I think we will always have food from all over the world because of the diversity of people that live here.
We eat sea fruit
