Speaking of Canadian cuisine, it is difficult to apply the definition of "traditional" to its dishes. Anyway, but the Canadian culinary tradition is a mixture of Anglo-American-Canadian. And here there is nothing strange, because historically, this country is inhabited by representatives of many nations. That is why the roots of the national Canadian cuisine can be found both in traditional recipes of North American peoples, and in English and French dishes.
Depending on the region of the country, the recipes for Canadian cuisine are also changing. The main cuisine is the cuisine of Quebec, so historically and geographically it turned out that the culinary delights of the French chefs were the closest to the Canadians.
