1. Canada? Three no? Food culture
Canada is an immigrant country with rich and colorful food culture. Among them,? Three no? Food culture has a unique taste.
No alcohol and tobacco
For China people, alcohol and tobacco are generally indispensable for entertaining friends at home or in hotels, otherwise it will be considered as neglect. However, in Canada, there is no alcohol or tobacco for dinner. Because there are no smoking regulations in Canada, and you must be over 16 to buy cigarettes. It is illegal to smoke in federal buildings, elevators, banks, shops, schools and most public places. If someone is found smoking in restaurants or restaurants without stopping or conniving at it, he may be fined 5, Canadian dollars. The same is true for wine. For example, in Alberta, people over the age of 19 can buy cigarettes, while hard liquor is prohibited from being sold. In addition, restaurants and bars can only sell alcohol from 11: a.m. to 1: a.m., and drinkers can only drink in places or houses with liquor licenses. It is illegal to drink outside these places.
Don't eat hot food
Hot food is a major feature of China's food culture. Generally, it is cooked now and fried while it is hot, and a few cold dishes are served only for drinking. Canadians like to eat cold food. This kind of cold food is different from our cold dishes. Generally, the host cooks all kinds of dishes first, and then puts them on the kitchen table in turn with bowls, plates, saucers and other utensils for guests to enjoy. Because the dishes are cooked earlier and over time, they become cold dishes, which Canadians call? A cold dinner party? .
No table seats
In Canada, no table seats are arranged for banquets. Usually, the guests take disposable plastic lunch boxes and forks and line up in front of the table full of food, then help themselves to get food at will and finally find a place to eat. Because there is no table, the guests go their separate ways after picking up the food, sitting and standing, casually and freely. If you feel that your stomach is not full, you can go to eat again.
2. Canadian food culture
Materials and local dishes
In Canada with a short history, there is no traditional Canadian food like Chinese food or French food. However, because Canada is an immigrant country, you can taste the dishes of different countries with fresh materials in different regions. Moreover, quantity and low price can be said to be the characteristics of Canadian food. In any case, there are countless lakes and rivers in Canada's vast territory sandwiched by the sea, and there are vast soils suitable for agricultural production and livestock. There is no shortage of fresh seafood, agricultural products, meat and other food materials everywhere.
For example, the two coasts are treasure houses of cod and salmon, while freshwater lakes and rivers are rich in trout and perch. If you go to Banfu on the west coast, there will be fascinating smoked salmon and salmon steaks waiting for you. The taste and weight are impeccable.
Lobster, Atlantic salmon, mussels, sea fans and other seafood produced in Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island along the Atlantic coast have both the light taste of boiled and the rich clam broth.

The inland great plains are the producing areas of wheat flour and livestock products. As long as you pay more than $1, you can eat an incredible number of the best Alberta beef barbecues and steaks.
There are many kinds of fruits, which are very good to eat raw, and the jam made from them is also cheap.
Moreover, mentioning Canada naturally reminds people of maple syrup. Those sticky amber maple fruit juices were all cooked from the sap of maple in the spring of the following year. It can also be made into sugar or candy. Many large bottles and small bottles of maple syrup are gathered in supermarkets and gift shops. Others are packed in beautiful and lovely utensils, which are most suitable as gifts. When eating, you can put it on bread or add it to black tea. For those who cook and camp by themselves, it is also convenient to prepare a bottle.
French style and English style of food
In all parts of Canada, food should be the first thing that can make people realize the difference between French style and English style. In British areas, breakfast is toast, as well as fish, fried potato chips, scones and muffins. There are also moon bud bread, long bread and delicious cakes in the legal system areas.
In Ottawa, which has a strong British color, scones are definitely included in fast food. And it will be called everywhere? Canadian board? Food with maple jam on fried chicken pieces.
Although the mainstream of Quebec, the base of legal Canada, is still French cuisine, there are also so-called Quebec cuisines. These include crispy fried meat, fried meatballs decorated with herbs, boiled beans, meat pies and pickles.
