And I use the term cuisine lightly! :p

Ok so I've got the opportunity to try stuff that's unique to the US and Canada while I'm there, so figured I should get a list of suggestions. :D

So yeah, anything you can think of, snacks, home style cooking, drinks, restaurants all that jazz. :D

Tell me your favorites please. :)
NOPE!!!

    You like deep friend food? :p


    I would suggest oysters or mussels from PEI but where you will be that will be hard but I am sure they have good ones there :)

    In Vancouver there are some great sushi restaurants... a friend suggested one but I never made it there... if interested I could find out.

    For a maritime feel you could go to the Trap & Gill in Vancouver and have some east coast fare ;) LOL

    I am not sure what makes up our cuisine but there are some good places to be sure...sadly I am more familiar with east coast places to go.

    I would also say try fresh oysters. Best ever on the northwest coast! Also, salmon but preferably from Alaska. The greens/salads are also great here. Just try anything fresh/local and you can't go wrong. Most good restaurants here cook with local/fresh ingredients so I would definitely try what is on the menu. :) Can't wait to see you!

    :D Agreed!

    But we can get it here, you know, world's largest island continent and all! :p

    I was looking at the googles the other day, travelling along this road away from the motel I was thinking about staying at and I discovered this place called Weinershnitzel. Never heard of it before.

    I meant stuff like that. Or smores. I remember there was a chocolate thread here once and some of the stuff, I'd never heard of. :)
    NOPE!!!

    What the hell is a "deep friend food"? I like to try that...;)

    fried oysters are great! same with scallops! Cape Cod, MA got some sweet seafood restaurants out there!

    I remember one time in Boston, we ordered some sweet lobsters and my friend said "what do we use to crack the lobster"? I told him, the little rock on our table. He thought I was an idiot or sometime but when we asked the waitress and she confirm it was the little rock.

    Mmm ... smores! A must for camping/cottaging.

    Poutine. Personally, I don't like poutine (I don't like gravy or curds), but it's a favourite amongst most Canadians.


    Edit: Poutine is french fries with gravy and cheese curds.
    No time to be void or save up on life. You got to spend it all.
