What is Poutine? A Poutine primer.
A couple guys filmed a documentary years ago on this very subject. The only unique food they came up with is Poutine...yum. |

I'm not sure what you mean here. A recipe (fetuccini primavera, sic), a native food stuff (black walnuts,maple syrup) food process invention (gooseberry, freeze dried potatoes), post-colonial (the above mentioned poutine, nanimo bars, bloody ceasars, "sea" pie), or pre-colonial (pemmican). Is there a specific thing you're asking about or a survey? |

Many of the examples I mentioned above are not without debate. Hence I tip-toed around date squares, butter tarts, and oat cakes.
Actually having been trained by French Chefs I was shocked to discover that every single food in the world is, in fact french. Who'ld-a-thunk-it?

I hate it when poutine is highlighted as Québec's or Canada's culinary contribution to the world....
On a more historically serious note, I recently learned that Sun chokes AKA Jerusalem artichokes are native to North Eastern North America. Natives introduced the tuber to Samuel de Champlain (French explorer) who brought them back to France to show the king. The first colonists of the new world (French) would cultivate this tuber until the British took over and they introduced a new tuber to this land i.e. the potato. Sunchokes have been more popular in Europe as a vegetable then in North America.
Nutritionally speaking, sunchokes contain inuline (a fiber) and slowly digestible starch that make it a healthier tuber then potatoes.
I think this would be considered a Canadian food contribution
