Here are some wonderful Canadian specialities that I have shared in previous years:
Tourtiere (Delicious meat pie)

Cretons de Quebec (How do I describe this? It’s here for my sister as it was one of her favourites when she lived in Canada. It’s a breakfast spread made from pork.)

For much more Canadiana, here are the Canada Day posts I did for the last two years as well as the current one containing my annual how well do you know Canada quiz:

Dear Cyn,
What i nice website you have. I’ve spent the past few hours on my computer looking for Tourtiere recipes, and yours is by far the best that I have found.
I’m going to make it today for my girlfriend who grew up in Levis, just across the river from Quebec, City.
I am also going to try your Cretons recipe. I’m from Cape Cod, in Ma and it’s not available here.
Thank you so much.
