No, it's a bit different. The Wisconsinites surely know all about it. They squeak when you eat them. |
ewwww, that would drive me batty (well, battier) |
Ohhh, it's wonderful! If the cheese curds aren't squeaking between your teeth, they are not worth eating! |

As far as I know the following are Canadian:
Cipaille also called cipâte,
Tourtière,
Beaver tails,
Red River cereal,
Nanaimo bars,
French Canadian Pea Soup,
Fiddleheads, as well as
Bannock and Muktuk and a host of other food groups I really do not expect too many to know of.

I've tapped my own trees for 4 years now, so I can speak a little on good ol sirop d'erable.
Maple syrup isn't exclusive to Canada, as there are many States where the climate conditions also help sugar maples produce sap in sufficient quantities to boil down to syrup. But it does tend to be linked to Canada, especially Eastern Canada.
And if you do go the maple syrup route....please make sure it's REAL maple syrup, none of that 'table syrup' crap! Yes the real stuff is more expensive but there's a reason why. (A really bad run last year saw to that).
Re some of the other foods listed, I believe what are called 'Elephant ears' in the US are essentially BeaverTails, though those are incredibly yummy.
Nanaimo bars did actually originate in Nanaimo, BC, and I do believe that tourtiere is indeed Canadian, essentially a meat pie made with all kinds of good stuff.
And any beer with an alcohol content of over 5.5% would do well too...shall I send some Beau's Lugtread Lagered Ale down to you?
Anyway good luck, whatever your choice may be! ;-) |

That was more Canadian than I could ever have imagined. Although, I'd visit just to have a go of that ice slide. |

Ooooh! Lets add some from the far east.
Seal flipper pie
Figgy Duff
Cod tongues
Fish and brewis (that is not a typo)
Chips Dressing and Gravy (Fries smothered with turkey/chicken stuffing and gravy)
Toutons
Ham and split pea soup with dough boys
To be fair, most people in Canada have not had or heard of many of these either unless they took a trip to the Rock. |

The thing that impressed me the most in Cananda was McDonalds serving GRAVY with french frys.... now that was a LONG time ago, but Dang if thats a Canadian tradition, well then stop by in the morn and get a bunch of gravy, and after 10:30 when they stop serving Breakfast go getcha a bunch of frys ... Don't get no easier than that!!
BTY I thought that was a REAL good idea, Fries n Gravy ... I mean ya can't make frys low fat any how so why not do it up right! |

| Karma -- make nanaimo bars. Someone up there ^^^^^^^ or I guess down, depending on how you view your threads, put a link to a recipe. It is delicious and you will be forever loved for making this for the kids!! Plus, Nanaimo is in BC, so you can give them a little geography lesson about it! |

Yep, Nanaimo bars (and I agree with  Venser's pronunciation) should go over well. You can also add the fun fact that Pamela Anderson of Baywatch fame is also from Nanaimo.
@ mike_311...see a few posts previous to yours.
@ Venser...LOL!!! yep you're right on the money ;-)

Tourtière is one of the best things ever!
Some work, but with store made pie crusts...not that hard. |

Okay. First two layers of the nanaimo prepared and in the fridge chillin'. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Will put the final layer on here in a few minutes.
I've not tasted it yet (except to like the spoon for the middle layer when I was done with it), but it seems like it will be tasty.
Will let you know what the kiddos think about it.

I can just imagine how many tooth fillings get lost. They probably have a bucket next to the stand specially for 'lost fillings' - the maple syrup ice pop things, I'm talking about
