Canada, second largest 

country in the world in area (after Russia), occupying


roughly the northern two-fifths of the continent of North America.
Canada is officially bilingual in English and French, reflecting the country’s
history as ground once contested by two of Europe’s great powers. The word
Canada is derived from the Huron-Iroquois kanata, meaning a village or
settlement. In the 16th century, French explorer Jacques Cartier used the name
Canada to refer to the area around the settlement that is now Quebec city.
Land- Canada’s total land area includes thousands of adjacent islands,
notably Newfoundland in the east and those of the Arctic Archipelago in the north.
Canada is bounded by the Arctic Ocean to the north, Greenland (a self-governing
part of the Danish kingdom) to the northeast, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, 12
states of the United States to the south, and the Pacific Ocean and the U.S. state
of Alaska to the west; in addition, tiny Saint-Pierre and Miquelon (an archipelagic
territory of France) lies off Newfoundland.

Butter tarts are so simple, but oh so good. They’re made by taking flaky
pastry shells and filling them with a butter, sugar and egg filling. This is
traditional Canadian food at its best, and you’ll be craving these long after
you’ve left the country.

Poutine
Few Canadian dishes are as world-renowned as the glorious creation known as
poutine. Crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds and rich gravy all combine to create the
meal of dreams, and this French Canadian food is so popular that it can now be
found all around the world. The classic version is great on its own, but toppings
like pulled pork, bacon and smoked meat really knock it out of the park – and at an
average price of £3.50, it won’t break the bank either.
Bannock

Delicious and versatile, bannock is a simple bread that was once a key staple in the diets of
Canada’s Aboriginal people. Modern takes on bannock include baked versions (which are
heavy/dense) and fried versions (which are crispy and fluffy on the inside). In recent years,
bannock has seen a surge in popularity, with new twists and variations popping up in
bakeries and cafes nationwide – you have to try it!
