Canada's cuisine

Being a very diverse country, in Canada you can find all kinds of food in the world.

Canadians typically eat three meals a day: In the morning breakfast (breakfast) that includes cereal with milk, toast with jelly, fruit, coffee in a big cup they brin of "mug", pancakes with honey or similar and Some families make fried eggs with bacon and a sausage. But the toast with jam and cereal with milk are indispensable in the Canadian breakfast. At noon it's time for lunch (lunch). Canadian Lunch is usually very practical and fast. Canadian workers mostly do not have time for lunch an hour for example, as we have in Brazil. Therefore, their lunch is a snack RealMeteo. Basically a soup (buy canned soup is ready it is so hot) in a sandwich. The Dinner and supper (dinner) is usually served five in the afternoon. Dinner is done in a complete meal that includes meat, vegetables and salads. In Canada do not use much rice. The rice is replaced with the mashed potatoes. The potato is the base of the Canadian meals. Where does it all with the potato. The puree is the most popular. It is usually served with a sauce called Gravy. The gravy is made from wheat flour fried with meat juice. Chicken is also quite suited, because Canada is a major poultry producer.

Canadians are very fond of carrots too (eat them raw) and pickles. Enjoyed a kind of cucumber in vinegar.

There is a vast network of fast food outlets in Canada. All the famous names of fast food you find in Canada. The burgers and fries (called french-fries) are very popular. The Mexican food is popular too.

In supermarkets you encrontra any ingredient to make any kind of food. There is a very large selection of ingredients and fruits to prepare themselves from a gaucho barbecue to an exotic Indian food. Most products are imported. Because Canada does not have a lot of fertile land (tropical) for growing various vegetables and fruit, everything comes out. Some fruits, like papaya and pineapple, are extremely expensive! Orange is also quite expensive so it pays more to buy canned fruits or juices. Everything that you buy, you better do a price research before. Often, prices vary widely in supermecardos. a curiosity, it's amazing how the supermarket cashiers are friendly, well with life. They always greet us with a "hi"(hi) or "How are you today?" (How are you going today?). It is difficult to find a supermarket cashier in a bad mood or at least without giving a smile!

Eat in restaurant is not much cheaper in Canada. I think it's like in Brazil. There are restaurants of all kinds around the country. One thing I noticed here is that the waiters are always very friendly with customers and tipping is not included in the bill. The customer's tipping according to how it was served. Geralmete the common gratuity at a restaurant is around $ 2 to $ 5 dollars.

The kitchens of Canadian families, most are equipped with electric stove, four "mouths. " There is a gas stove for sale in stores, but are not very popular. I personally have never seen a family using a gas stove. Most household appliances use 110 Volts.
