Americans and Canadians culture Q&A Thread.

Canadians, what's your favorite dessert?

Any non-chocolate thing with whipped cream. Coming into summer I'm going to be eating a lot of seasonal berry/fruit shortcake.

 

[NAB]

Cake any kind is my favourite.

About the flags it depends i guess. Really usually say when we cross the border we see a lots of flags. Here I notice more if our flag is lowered .

 

[Buzz Rules]

Good luck tomorrow Canada. I hope for a USA vs Canada final.

Oh to add I bring my Canada flag out on Canada Day! For a
week than bring it in so it doesn’t fade from the sun….lol

Also have other decorations for my door and porch for that day too.

Sugar pie

Canadians, what's your favorite dessert?

Not really a dessert but as a sweet treat, maple sugar. I could literally give up every single other sweet treat and only have maple sugar for the rest of my life.

Hoping for a USA/Canada win tonight. I'll post the MLS text match link in my other thread for Canadians who want to follow the match online or see the highlights after. I won't be talking about the match any more on here.

Love maple sugar candy.

Does American maple syrup taste different from Canadian maple syrup?

Funny (not haha funny) thing about that - for about the last 15 years or so, whenever I'd see a flag at half-mast and not immediately know why, I'd assume the Queen had just died and I hadn't heard yet. RIP QEII.

Sugar pie

Do tell - I've never heard of it. Is it this?

Also try searching for tarte au sucre (it's a Quebec thing). That doens't look quite like what I've had, but I'm sure that there are many variations. Very good - in small doses.

It can be , but as Sir Duff mentioned , there are different versions. That one has too much crust . I prefer no crust on top, and more sugar . St. Donat has the best one in my opinion .

Do you have a Montreal specific dinner recipe that you would recommend? I'm trying to come up with a fun meal for Sunday's match.

I am a horrible cook Buzz
I don’t like cooking, probably because I am not a great eater, quite fussy. I cook only because I have to, you know ?
But if it were a Montreal “thing” and sport related, I would do smoked meat and dill pickles with coleslaw and fries or chips. Real smokes meat

Does American maple syrup taste different from Canadian maple syrup?

Not sure I have ever had "American" maple syrup. Everything I buy says "Product of Canada and the United States" It has been decades since I had Pure Canadian Maple Syrup, my Aunt sent some as a gift.

I believe anyone can cook if they try @mommasita . I can recommended some great cooking help blogs/websites if you are interested. That smoked meat idea sounds great. Thanks. Good luck to Canada.

I have bought American made maple syrup. It says product of USA not Canada. I have also had some that say product of Canada. I taste no difference but I don't know if that's just me.
