About Canadian Food

How well do you know Canadian food -- the national comfort dishes, the specialties of Quebec, the Maritimes and Newfoundland, the Prairie and Indigenous traditions, and the brands, snacks and drinks Canadians grew up with? This quiz has sixty questions in three packs of twenty, written the way people search: what is poutine, what is a tourtiere, why is it called a Caesar, what is a donair, what is Kraft Dinner.

The answer is always one of four choices of the same kind, and the question never gives it away. A short note after each answer adds the origin, the place and the background.

The first pack covers the national and Quebec dishes: poutine and tourtiere, maple syrup and the sugar shack, pouding chomeur and sugar pie, cretons and pea soup, Montreal smoked meat and the Montreal bagel, the steamed hot dog and the Michigan, the Acadian poutine rapee and ployes and rappie pie, butter tarts and Nanaimo bars, saskatoon berry pie, BeaverTails and the Caesar. The second pack covers regional and Indigenous food: bannock and pemmican, the Newfoundland Jiggs' dinner, toutons, cod tongues, fish and brewis and Purity products, the Halifax donair and Solomon Gundy and garlic fingers, the lobster supper and PEI potatoes and Grand Manan dulse, Ukrainian Prairie cooking, Calgary's ginger beef, Alberta beef, the Winnipeg Fat Boy, and the Vancouver-born California roll and Japadog.

About a sixth of the questions carry a photograph of a place or object tied to the question, chosen so it does not give the answer away. Every fact has been checked.
