Tim Hortons

Tim Hortons is Canada's favorite coffee shop, a home-grown chain enterprise with stable quality. Canadians always say that if God wants to appear in Canada, it must be in Tim Hortons. The news that Tim's was acquired by Burger King in the United States in 214 has become a national disaster for Canada. Fortunately, its quality has remained the same since then. Speaking of it, Canadians depend on Tim's just as Americans love their sweet Dunkin Donuts, and they will never see each other for a day, just like Sanqiu. Most Canadians feel listless all day if they don't buy anything to eat and drink here in the morning. Tim Hortons was originally a hockey player. In 1964, he founded his own cafe with the same name. Now he has grown into Canada's "national coffee", which is delicious and cheap.

besides coffee, there are some other drinks and foods here, the most important one is donuts. In addition to our common round cakes with stuffing, circles and balls, please do as the Romans do and call them timbits. The good thing about Tim's doughnuts is that they are not too sweet, and they are all made more refreshing. Like coconut milk, sour cream, lemon, and maple syrup with Canadian characteristics, all delicious and paired with coffee. It's freezing cold outside in winter, so I need such a cup of hot things to warm my hands, and with a sweet thing, I feel that the heat is back and I am full of energy in an instant!

Great fusion of international cuisine

Historical memory on the tip of the tongue

Many foods in Canada have been branded as "international norms" because of emigration, and a piece of taste of love on the tip of the tongue also bears the historical changes. Nanaimo Bar, a famous winter dessert, is a good example. It can be said that the Canadian Nanaimoto is different from the Scottish lady finger, Armenian ginger biscuits, Italian Florence biscuits and English brandy biscuits. The transformation of Canadians is to spread a layer of biscuits, stack vanilla cream frosting, and then pour a layer of melted chocolate, which is sweet and layered (it tastes like the "young forest" that is popular in China) and neutralizes the cold in winter.

Let's talk about drinks, Eggnog, which originated in medieval England. In a specific historical period, it definitely belongs to the upper class drinks, and now it can be bought in supermarkets. Because the traditional practice is to add brandy to fresh milk, and then add raw materials such as egg yolk. Traditional eggnog is based on brandy. After it was introduced to America, North Americans liked to add rum to it to make the wine taste sweeter. If you sprinkle a little spicy but fragrant nutmeg powder, it will be warmer and the taste will be layered. Another reason why eggnog is widely loved is that it is particularly versatile, and there are alcohol-free versions. Adding rum or brandy has its own advantages, and it is also unique after adding coffee or tea (eggnog latte is a seasonal drink that is drunk in many places in Canada in winter), and sometimes it is used as a seasoning and put into a small biscuit. In a word, the aftertaste is lingering, but I have always felt it, which is unique, strange and delicious.

Let's talk about a meat dish, Tourtiere, which is translated in short: meat pie. Taste salty and spicy, style: France and Canada. Originally, this thing was originally made from the meat of passenger pigeon, which was translated as "waiting pigeon". This kind of pigeon is fleshy, tender and delicious, and it has no resistance. You can catch it as soon as you catch it. However, people at that time in ancient times did not have such a strong awareness of protecting endangered animals as we do now. As a result, everyone ate meat pie and ate the pigeon, and it was extinct. People want to continue to eat meat pie, so they have to change the stuffing into pork, beef and lamb.

Winter standard

When it comes to winter standard, the brain immediately supplements the thick taste of roasted marshmallows and gravy cheese chips. Well, of course, it doesn't mean that only baked marshmallows and gravy cheese chips are available in winter in Canada, but the food is much older. Baked marshmallows and French fries are just the first collocation that comes to mind. These two foods also have the direct and somewhat generous personality of Canadians. When they are pushed in front of you, it seems to say: Being cold in winter gives you heat! Then this heat is really enough.

when xiaobian ate roasted marshmallows for the first time, he was deeply impressed and amazing! I feel that I have really eaten marshmallows for so many years. The cotton candy was roasted, and the color on the outside was slightly dark and slightly burnt, and the inside was white, and it melted to a slightly flowing feeling, and the entrance was very hot. Although it was unnecessary, it still weakened the sweetness. Another way to eat it is to eat a biscuit and milk chocolate with roasted marshmallows in the middle, which is a new height. Ever since I found this way of eating, I've been baking a candle.

larger marshmallows taste better. Don't be too close to the fire. Bake them a little longer and swallow your saliva silently. Last time, a little friend actually put forward such a good idea. When baking outdoors, you must face the snow scene in Canada, and bake marshmallows with a mouthful of ice wine. Do you want to be so particular? Roasted marshmallows are a perfect match for wine! It's winter in Canada when you eat it bite by bite. Another good partner of marshmallows is hot chocolate. Tim Hortons's hot chocolate is good, so silky and fragrant, not expensive. Sip your lips and sip, and the aftertaste is still in your mouth when you swallow it.

Poutine, which originated in Quebec, is the number one folk food in Canada. Many places in Quebec claim to be the birthplace of this delicious food. Authentic poutine is spicy broth with crispy cheese dipped in curd, and sweet potato with thick cheese-evil calories are always so tempting!

Canadian Bacon is another representative of high-calorie food. Different from the traditional bacon from the belly of pigs, Canadian bacon is a well-deserved national food, which selects the lean meat from the waist of pigs, fully marinates it, and then spreads golden corn flour. Carousel Bakery of St. Lawrence Market in Toronto firmly believes that his Canadian bacon sandwich is the best. Many North American steakhouses also serve Canadian bacon as an appetizer. A thick strip is across the plate, and the skin is crisp and oily.

Beaver Tail sounds fierce, but it's actually just fried pasta shaped like beaver tail. Roll the dough into a large piece and put it in an oil pan. Fry it soft and without losing strength. Take it out and pour it with different condiments, such as cinnamon sugar powder and maple syrup, and the classic hazelnut chocolate sauce (Ferriero sauce! ), etc., the taste is solid and simple, saying it is a snack, but one is half full after eating it. When US President Barack Obama visited Canada, he specially tasted the beaver tail and was full of praise.

In Canadian food culture, cheese and wine are a match made in heaven. The east coast of Canada not only produces famous wine, but also has a "cheese road". This road is located in Quebec, and there are many small cheese workshops along the way, which can be visited and provided for tasting. The owner of the workshop will also explain various cheese-related knowledge to the visitors.

Canadians' love for cheese reached its peak in winter, probably because every cell shouted "I want to eat cheese", and cheese instantly rose from a side dish to a main course-I have to say this fondue. One or several different cheeses are melted by heating, white wine is added, and small pieces of bread, potatoes, vegetables, meat and the like are dipped with a fork. Cheese is cooked glug, a piece of bread is inserted, every hole is filled with liquid milk, and a small fork with a long handle is slowly turned out to keep every strand of sexy drawing. Swallow it in one gulp, and sip white wine before swallowing. The compound reaction of air, cheese and alcohol brings wonderful pleasure and satisfaction to people. (Tips: Eating cheese chafing dish is not suitable for drinking cold drinks. Cheese will condense into a large piece in the stomach and is not easy to digest. It is good with black tea and white wine. )
