Huckleberries and Chantrelles (not together of course)

Deer or moose meat (if you can find it anywhere!)
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

No, they sell farmed versions of the same animal.  If you want wild game, you need to get it from a hunter.  They don't sell it in stores.

You can get farm raised deer, elk or bison. I have not heard of farm raised moose.

  Though perogies are not "Canadian", you can not go anywhere in AB, SK, MB (and perhaps other provinces) and not find perogies on the menu.

Pizza!

although not really a 'Canadian' food, this Canadian loves it more than any other food.

You often hear that Canada doesn't have that specific 'Canadian Food'......like hot dogs and apple pie is for the US, it has been said that we don't have that.  When you look at all the things mentioned here, I think that what it shows, is a menu as diverse as its people.  

Many of these favourites are all 'borrowed' from the people that have come from everywhere and have become OUR stamp, in a way.

  I saw a little blurb on the news, that sushi will take its place alongside the hot dog at the ballparks.

I like hotdogs, burgers, fries, pizza, pancakes with maple syrup...

  in my mind, these make me feel "canadian"

PL is perv !  

  It's a meat pie made originally with a bird called tourtre, unfortunately this bird has been killed to extinction quite rapidly. Today the meat used is pork and beef mixed.

I knew that it was a tart/pie, Michel.  I think that you misunderstood my original comment.  When I said "torture" I was thinking about my experience with them at I personally didn't enjoy these little meat pies...

hehe ok, this meal is indeed a plot to destroy the hottie factor in any slim woman, I agree with you. Stay away from the tourtiere !
