Further description and pictures below
Coffee Crisp
Chocolate bar with alternating wafers and a coffee flavoured candy filling is good (and I say this as someone who dislikes coffee)
Ketchup Chips
Exactly like it says chips with ketchup flavouring (personally I find the vinegar flavouring in them to strong)
Canadian Bacon
Look if you like bacon you'll like this. It's so good, very lean and not nearly as greasy as side/ regular bacon (has a bit of a hammy taste tbh)
Hawaiin Pizza
Everyone knows it, it's Pineapple and Ham Pizza, I regret to inform that it was an invention of Canada
Timbits
They may be donut holes but they are like quintessential Canadian.
Girl Guide Cookies
Girl Scouts can keep their dozen or so cookie types. All I need is some Classic Chocolate and Vanilla or Chocolate Mint. Sold in Spring and Winter
Maple Cream Cookies
What's more Canadian then a Maple Cookie. Very sweet but oh so tasty
Caeser
An alcoholic Cocktail made of, Vodka, Clamato (Primarily Tomato Juice and Clam broth with seasoning) hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce. Rim is coated in Celery Salt.
Basically like a bloody Mary but what distinguishes it from that is the Clam Broth.
I don't get it but people like it
Kraft Dinner/KD
Not Canadian Originated growing up on this stuff it's basically Canadian enough to me. (Also the packaging is different up here anyway)
Mackintosh Toffee
I mean it's toffee- specifically in Canada it's more of a hard candy then soft (like it was originally in the UK)
I am a Toronto-based foodie. As a former New Yorker and self-proclaimed connoisseur of many cuisines, I am amazed at the range of options available to me within blocks of my home right here in Canadia. Even more entertaining than the food, however, has been my experience bringing Canadian delicacies to my American friends.
They are unaware of Coffee Crisp, All Dressed chips (affectionately deemed All Dressed Up chips by my fellow foodies), and have never had a Caesar.
One of my favourite Buzzfeed experiments is the video documentary series showcasing Americans trying foods from around the world for the first time. Here, find a reaction to Canadian snacks. It is both entertaining and eye-opening.
