I was on the bus sitting with a friend the other day.

We spoke of food. She told me of her little kitchen and I told her of mine. Funny thing is that everyone seems to want to congregrate there for some silly reason. She called it a Canadian thing. Conversational Canadian Cuisine

So welcome to my kitchen. Leave your recipes with me.

What do I have to do, seduce some of you with succulence?

Do up a dish?

Serve up some sauce eee ness?

Hi Tumpa,
Some Canadian cuisine? Sounds good to me. How was your day? Mine was great. I really am enjoying work. The days fly by. I am tired but it is a good tired. I just joined this site last weekend and I am enjoying the forums. It is too bad more people are not on the Canadian one.

Dear Winter Peg,

My days are flying by as well. Although I love autumn, I feel less than eager for cool weather these days.

Good tired is wonderful. The type where slumber comes easy.

I am happy to have you in the forums, so don't deny digging in for seconds...

Thank you. I am enjoying the word games and the coversation. I have to admit, at times, I feel lost because everyone seems to know each other. Sometimes it seems hard to "fit" in.

No need to feel lost, I will offer my guidance. You fit because you came here.

A few of the woman have e-mailed to say welcome. It was nice of them. I guess it will just take time to get to know people.

...and now one from the other sex.

Thank you!

Consider yourself served!!

What is truly Canadian cuisine? Perhaps the recipe my ex sister-in-law showed me from her days living in Rankin Inlet. It was for blueberry pudding, and began with "Cook one fish."

I learned Hungarian cooking as a child and adapt/modify/enhance as the mood strikes me. How to make Chicken Paprikas a Canadian dish.... drizzle with maple syrup? Or add a side order of poutine to goulash?

The best cuisine is what you whip up from ingredients on hand, inspired by the company of good friends, good wine and good music.

I very much agree.

Won't take long before it feels like you have been here forever

I do have some yummy recipes to share but can barely keep awake this morning and can't function 100% lol so will share them with y'all later.

Morning,
Not sure if I have any recipes to share, at the moment, but I know I have some favourite foods.
My mom was from Europe so I eat lots of homemade things. Like homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles. I remember eating bowls of that at christmas instead of turkey.
Saurekraut with ham and mashed pototes.
And I had the pleasure of tasting a scallop burger when I was back in P.E.I , years ago.
And bannok when I was in the Yukon. I tease everyone that comes down from the north that they have to make bannok when they come.
I will try and think of some recipes later when I have more time. But I am not sure if they will be Canadian.
As far as the comment about congregating in the kitchen. I miss it. We used to have a huge kitchen. You could sit at least 16 people at the table. We had an old natural gas stove/heater and beside it was a wood burner. Everyone would be in there. While food was being prepared the guitars came out and the tunes played. I miss those days.

Where was your mom from? I remember the sauerkraut with mashed potatoes and ham....

My mom was from Czechoslovakia. My dad's parents where from Switzerland. He was adopted here in Canada.

Okay now I think I am a bit more awake here lol

And of course the first thing that comes to mind about canadian cuisine would be of course...

POUTINE!!!

Simple to make, French fries, Cheese curds and gravy

Mmmmmm yummy

I love your third line...it is indeed the best and how I often operate.

Some traditional Canadian dishes go further than just poutine;

Toutiere - various forms.
French canadian pea soup
Smoked Char
Montreal smoked meat
Fiddleheads
Pemmican
Bouilli
Pate Chinois
Cheese curds
Nanaimo Bars
Sucre a la creme....

and the list goes on....

I found bannock to be much like traditional English tea buscuits.

When you mentioned scallop burger, it brought to mind some seafood poutine I ate in Tadoussac, which was french fries, cheese curds, shrimp, scallops and loster meat in a bechamel sauce....

YUM-EEEE
