The diversity of Canadian cuisine, in my opinion, is largely due to the country’s history. Since the beginning of British colonization in the 15th century, the first colonizers from Britain, new settlers brought to the territory, along with political influence, also familiar food products.
French rule predetermined the place of Quebec as the center of cheesemaking in modern Canada. Also, do not forget about the influence of close neighbors – the United States with the idea of fast and affordable food. For example, the canonical Canadian snack bar Tim Hortons was created on the model of American fast food outlets with coffee and donuts. To this day, many Canadians cannot imagine a workday morning without coffee and a muffin from Tim Hortons. I, in turn, advise you to try their hot sandwiches with cheese.
Thanks to a significant proportion of immigrants in the population, Canada can be called a country with a truly diverse cuisine. For example, Vancouver, home to many Chinese immigrants, has already become something of a hub for Asian food, while Toronto, with its large Russian community, has about 60 Russian restaurants and bistros.
