I Need A Canadian

[Drakmorg]

I'm doing a project for an International Cuisine class, and I need the first-hand account of a Canadian for things like what their diet consists of and recipes for a commonly eaten meal, as well as some information on what are some of the commonly engaged, day-to-day activities of the Canadian citizen.

If any Canadians here would like to help me out with this I would be greatly appreciative.

 

[Tears of Blood]

You could communicate with a Canadian through me of you want.

Though, I'm sure there will be plenty of Canadians willing to help.

Also, I wonder if the Internet is the best place to be doing interviews...? Eh, oh well.

Also, I have a feeling Canadians aren't much different from us Americans.

 

[Gxas]

You speak as though Canadians are some sort of different being... Of course, that's just how it rubbed off on me. Maybe I just read it in a different way.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Fried moose with maple syrup.

Hurray for stereotypes!

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Scrambled eggs
Bacon
Toast w/butter
Milk. (Or if athlete, insert gatorade)

Day-to-day activities?

Clearly dog-sled racing, igloo building, american worshipping, watching beavers with binoculars, etc.. ["Hurr Hurr, sarcasm"]

..Seriously, then. Varies quite frankly much with different geographically structured province zones. Around where I live specifically? Internet surfing, gaming, coffee shop mongering, hockey (if your into it), and general activities as such.

About it.

That's actually how I read it as well. I had to leave to stop from giggling over all the jokes that popped into my head.

Namely the thought of some Irwinesque figure stalking around the bushes of a Canadian town.

Poutine for the Poutine gods!

That and McDonalds was all I ate there, pretty much.

 

[EvilBug]

For the food we pretty much we eat like you americans. We do eat lots of bacon and drink lots of beer. As for activities, we often play hockey in winter and basketball in summer. I am sorry if I couldn't help, we are very similar to americans, just with less guns.

That is all.

Canadian present! As for cuisine, that's kinda hard to answer. We get so many different cultures blending in and we try to encourage and celebrate each and every one of them, it's hard to say whether we have an meals that are strictly Canadian. Except of course for Canadian Maple Syrup and Timbits.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Poutine.

 

[muckinscavitch]

Get up, feed the dogs, sled into town to get some tim horton's coffee, sled back, decide to add a room onto my house (igloo), get fire wood, eat poutine, go hunting (with sled dogs), prepare moose for supper, eat (feed sled dogs left overs), light a nice long lasting ember producing fire and sleep. Any spare time in between = hockey.

Note: If it is summer time, replace sledding with hiking and hockey with beaver watching.

OT: We aren't a weird species of animal that have weird habits and mating rituals. We are human beings and chances are if you are english speaking, we have the EXACT same lifestyle and such.

Their big thing is French fries covered in gravy and melted cheese.

 

[A_Parked_Car]

Poutine, Maple Syrup, Timbits, Tim Hortons in general?
We have a huge blend of cultures so we don't have a concrete diet so to say. It varies a lot person to person based on a whole bunch of things like where they live in Canada, what their cultural background is etc. Nothing really unique unless of course you consider the diversity of our diet to be interesting in itself.
Daily activities? Nothing hugely unique there either...I go to work, play video games, go to school, play instruments, blahblah.
I would have loved to put in stereotypes, but I was trying to be as serious as possible with my response haha.

 

[Asturiel]

It may surprise you americans that think we Canadians are slow, maple syrup eating neanderthals but we are actually very similar to you.

Ill let you have a second to let that soak in.

Ready? Ok we eat alot of different stuff since we actually encourage people of different races and cultures to be in our country. We have our fair share of racism as well but other than the guns and mass media provoking fear since your leader bowed as a sign of respect to another world leader were pretty simmilar.

That's called Poutine, and yes, it is glorious!

Sometimes you get meat on it as well.

 

[Durxom]

Canadians live off of Tim Hortons...seriously, people would die, and there would be nationwide riots if Tim Hortons was shut down or something. We live off of our caffeine. O-O

 

[Pimppeter2]

Kidnap one?

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

We're a lot like Americans, if only in what we eat. I usually have some sort of cereal or toast for breakfast, a sandwich or pasta or something for lunch and some sort of meat and side dish for supper. Pretty basic stuff.

Daily activities in Canada include.... coffee....hockey....yup. Well there's more, hanging out at coffee shops, sports of all kinds, depending on the season swimming, biking, gaming, not sure what else to say.
