I have a cake recipe used by my Grandparents during WW2. It used mayonnaise instead of eggs. I really like it, it's very moist.

>>18567414
yeah

>>18567414
that's an easy one, just google "quebec recipe"

tourtières are pretty easy to make with ingredients available everywhere

>It used mayonnaise instead of eggs.
I've heard of putting ketchup in cakes, but mayonnaise? How does it taste?

>>18567783
Like a very delicious moist chocolate cake. I usually ask for it for my Birthday if I'm going to my folk's place. They make a Black Forrest version with cherries on top and as a layer between who cakes. It's very nice.

>>18567414
how the fuck can you get a design like that on the side of the cake? i do a lot of baking and have no fucking clue how that would work.

>>18567845
You have to be Canadian to have this sorcery.

Outside of Quebec, Canada is a soulless, cultureless, cardboard box of a nation that acts as a big staging ground for better, stronger cultures to display themselves.

Albertan Beef is pretty good quality and is leagues better than alot of other places. What i usually do is I like to make a steak salad with peapods sesame seeds and a bunch of other greens.

>>18567414

>>18567794
Alright, I gotta try this sometime, thanks for the idea!
Does your family make any other variations on it?

>>18567735
does quebec recipes come with a massive side of jpeg artifacts too?

criss de colomb d'habitant...

>>18567414
No. Plebbitors will pretend yes.
The dishes are all regional of which there are some incredible dishes, like real quebecois splitpea soup, peameal, or maritime donairs, but Canada is too big for any of the dishes to be considered national rather than regional.

>>18568072
This isn't a meme, alberta beef is always very good quality. As for some dishes or foods of note in Canada: poutine, buttertarts, nanaimo bars, tourtiere. The fisheries and game in Canada is also of high quality. Pacific salmon, deer, lake fish, atlantic lobster and crab. The strangest thing I've heard someone say was that Canada "had good coffee" but it doesn't seem any different whatsoever

>>18567414
In BC there isn't much that's truly unique.

We have a dessert square called a Nanaimo Bar that's uncomfortably sweet(if you like Baklava you'll enjoy it, its almost that sweet).

Other than that just mostly minor regional variants on stuff that everyone else does. Our seafood is great but its all stuff you can get elsewhere.

This restaurant is apparently the spot for Canadian high cuisine. Favourite location for Bay street business dinners.

you should develop a way of seeing a measured area like the regions of Quebec, first, and then narrow down your search to cities by population.
if you can see a noticeable amount of farmland in one area where there's a low population, you can assume better food, as opposed to a low population city with more surrounding border-business land and national reserves or whatever, you can assume a greater presence of corporate outreach. this deviation mirrors quite well for some time until you start looking at places that attract tourists vs. places that attract business vs. places that attract other canadians.
just an idea.

>>18569317
I didn't realize blueberry grunt was a specifically Canadian thing, but it is great. As are Nanaimo bars.

>>18569349
Ironically the one Canadian thing that seems to stretch everywherein the country is Hawaiian pizza. Any pizza joint across the country you go into if they have more than just cheese and pepperoni slices, there will always be Hawaiian.

>>18567414
no, canada is like if you took all the most boring flyover states and turned them into a whole country. canada doesn't have culture, it's nothing

>>18569429
Are you in Canada?

>>18569531
Of course he isn't. Canada is awesome, but that is always the attitude of Americans which is comical to us.

>>18569428
and that isn't information that makes me happy but i appreciate the candor

>>18569548
I'm fairly new to Canada, and I noticed the same sentiment with born-Canadians as well. When you grow up in a culture you've known from birth, you tend to think nothing of it.
I think Canada has culture which makes it distinct. I won't go into details, but I've had to explain to born-here Canadians what makes them unique compared to the old continent and the rest of the world.

>>18569572
please tell me

>>18569572
Yeah the assumption is always that Canada is pretty much like America culture wise, but we're typically more like brits in most ways than Americans

This isn't a national thing by any means, but in our house one of the favorite go to dishes we make is called Canadian jerk. It's basically extra spicy jerk chicken but then when it's almost done, drizzled with maple syrup so it just starts to caramelize and form a glaze. An amazing combination.

"Hawaiian" pizza is honestly great. I love it with hot sauce. Best Canadian dish by far

Big ol' sloppa' shit

kraft dinner and a can of tuna

>>18568175

Recipe:
2 C All Purpose Flour
1 C Sugar
1 C Full Fat Mayonnaise
1 C Water
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tsp Baking Soda
3 tbsp Unsweetened Coco Powder

Bake at 350 F for 30 min. Use a toothpick to check if it's done at 25 min. Poking the centre should come out dry. Don't overcook it.

For the Black Forrest version, you use split the batter into two 9" baking pans to make two layers of the full cake. We use cherry pie filling in the middle, chocolate icing all over and some of the cherries for the top with some whip cream.

I forgot to mention that the reason they used mayonnaise instead of egg is because eggs were rationed during the war.

The only other notable variation is this: One time my Mom made a cake in the shape of a train for my 6th or 7th birthday. It had a locomotive and two cars. The wheels where make of Oreo cookies and some bigger chocolate cookies for the drive wheels. The cargo was liquorice in one of the cars and candies in the other. God I love my Mom!

Hope you enjoy if you make it.

>>18567414
My Quebecoise grandma used to make sugar pie whenever we met her at her cottage. I've since learned that this is a French Canadian dish from the Depression. It's essentially just a pecan pie minus the pecans. Made it last week for the missus and she liked it a lot.

>1 pie crust dough
>1 cup brown sugar
>1 large egg beaten
>1/4 cup flour
>1/4 cup milk (I just eyeballed a few dashes until the consistency was good)
1/4 cup soften unsalted butter
>1 pinch salt
>1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

My grandmother's recipe was way simpler and just called for brown sugar, flour, whipping cream and vanilla extract. Preheat the oven, butter a 9 inch baking pan and lay the pastry dough in it. Mix everything else in a bowl with a whisk (not an electric mixer) until it's uniform and runny, then pour it into the pie crust and throw it in the oven for about 10-15 mins on high. It will look very watery but will very quickly start to rise and you should remove it when the outer edge of the mixture becomes firm. Let it cool for about an hour before serving.

First of all, as far as sports goes, hockey is nowhere near ubiquitous as it is here. Shinny as well. Curling is something people watch at the Olympics, but in Canada, people actually go and play it.
Canadians also have a way more prominent outdoor/camping culture than any other I've seen. Even the most urban Canadian Tire has camping equipment at the ready. The roads are congested every Friday with people trying to escape urban settings and hit the cottage, or just get to some form of wilderness. Snow sports, kayaking, canoeing... anything goes. If it's spring and temps go above 10C, people go outside immediately to capitalize on that. If it's summer and it's >30C, again, people rush outside. If it's autumn and the leaves start changing colours? Dash outside to watch! First snow of the season? Everyone's kinda excited about it.
Which leads me to the love-hate relationship with cold and the elements. The wind and freezing weather we have in Canada would grind most world nations to a halt (except maybe Russia). But Canadians put on an extra layer and go about their day. If it gets too bad, at home there's hot coffee, beer and storm chips :)
In the summer, the excitement about patios opening sometimes even surpasses European cities. There's a huge patio culture here. Any buildings being built needs to have a balcony.
The Anglo-French connection. Canada is more European because of it. It shows in the symbols we use and the bilingual signage. Federal entities must know both English and French, and thus most of our politicians are bilingual, and thus less likely to be full on retarded like our neighbours to the south. I just wish we let the Quebecois influence our cities a tiny bit more, because Montreal is fucking gorgeous compared to other North American cities.
Speaking of our neighbours down south, we have less toxic individualism. Yes, we complain about taxes (who doesn't?), but few are suggesting we need to ditch universal healthcare.

>>18571818
tl;dr:
Canadian culture is littered with a sincere love for nature and the outdoors. The "complain sometimes, but keep calm and carry on" sentiment is unique. The anglo-french symbiosis is very charming. The bold approach to defying the elements is worthy of praise.

>>18567414
>For all you Canandanons out there, do you guys have any interesting or unique dishes?

Bro, in relation to this topic Canada is not big. 80% of the country is uninhabited forest and tundra, there's really not that much regional variation because almost everyone lives in a few cities along the southern border

>>18567414
Not really unfortunately, but Nanaimo bars are decent and more or less Canadian.
For the most part Canadian culture, and therefore food, is just taking other cultures and improving on it. You may be able to get the best version of a certain dish in Canada, with a bit of a unique twist, but it's not really Canadian food.

Friendly reminder that the “Canadians have no culture” tripe is cultural terrorism against anglo-Canada waged by Quebecois to try and prop up Quebec

>>18572578

There literally is no "canadian culture" you fuckwit. We're mostly just "american culture-lite" with small pockets of immigrants all over the place that have pushed their culture where they live.

>>18569590
Maybe 60 years ago. Nowadays the average Canadian is far closer to Americans culturally than they are to the British.
Consider this: if the UK declared war on a country tomorrow, how many Canadians would consider it a given that they would be going to war as well? How many would enlist ‘for King and Empire’? You changed your flag to a leaf 50 years ago to “do away with the vestiges of colonialism”. You switched to metric to “distance ourselves from imperialism and glorification of the past”. You patriatied your constitution in the 80s (effectively becoming a republic in all but name) because “direct monarchy and being politically reliant on a foreign leader is absurd in the modern age”.

The stereotype of a Canadian being a ‘strong silent woodsman who pushes ever further into the frontier to prove the superiority of Anglo society’ died before you, me, or anyone else on this site was born.

You should check Glen and Frens for oldschool canadian/american/quebecker recipes.

Stuff grandmas used to make before mcdonalds and walmarts.

>The stereotype of a Canadian being a ‘strong silent woodsman who pushes ever further into the frontier to prove the superiority of Anglo society’ died before you, me, or anyone else on this site was born.
yeah, because we don't do it for "the superiority of Anglo society" or whatever bullshit, we do it because there's cool shit to see and its fun. Our woodsmen roots aren't even dominated by anglo Canadians, the voyageurs are much more prolific

>>18572592
Every single difference between Americans and Canadians is unique culture. The United Canadian church is Canadian culture. Labatt beer is Canadian culture. Hockey is canadian culture. The colonial architecture of Halifax is Canadian culture. The dialects of rural Manitoba is Canadian culture. NWMP is Canadian culture.

>it’s not culture unless it’s third world darkies living in mud huts
Is jewish propaganda.

>>18572629
My point was a century ago, that IS why Canadians did it. The way your grandparents and great grandparents distinguished themselves from the Americans is how they viewed themselves as conservative Loyalist stalwarts standing firm against the republicanism from the south. ‘For King and Empire’ was the motto. Everything they did, they did in the name of God and the British Monarch.

>>18572631

Sorry, but thats all just basically american culture. Try harder. Canadians are just uppity americans in denial about being basically exactly the same.

>>18572655
>things that did not come from America are ‘American culture’

>>18572670

Yes. Thats usually how it works, when your nation is made up of immigrants from around the world.

>>18572678
You’re implying America has no native culture.

>>18572605
Lol you're clueless.

>>18567414
our old recipes in quebeckistan are mostly simple peasant food which isn't bad per se but I wouldn't call them unique or interesting

>>18572714
>no counterargument
Would you take up arms for Charles III? Your grandpappy took up arms for George VI no questions asked.

>>18572683

>thinking I was bothering with a counter argument to your inane bs

Your rambling deserved none, talking about wars is irrelevant, it's just funny how clueless you are. Don't expect a debate lol I've had too much venison and Moosehead to pretend to care

>>18572768
>I've had too much venison
where do you source this? do you hunt?

>>18572804
My father and brother in law both like shooting deer more than eating them so it's a boon for me.

>>18572631
Yeah but all that stuff is indistinguishable from the (much more influential) American version.
>The United Canadian church
Just a protestant church, the US has several which dwarf UCC
>Labatt beer
Just an industrial mega-brewery, the US has several that taste the same and dwarf it in popularity (even in Canada)
>Hockey is canadian culture.
The US teams are the ones in the playoffs every year. Our players go to US teams.
> The colonial architecture of Halifax is Canadian culture.
Not that unique considering New England region of the US has swathes of it.
>The dialects of rural Manitoba is Canadian culture.
That's true. But nobody outside of Manitoban unincorporated communities knows what this is.
>NWMP is Canadian culture.
This one is legit. In the US, it would be unimaginable to have federal cops stationed in and patrolling throughout the entire country. The federal government can have armed officers at most inhabited locations in the country within minutes. Even cities with huge PDs of their own still have federal police patrolling about.

>>18572768
I was using war to illustrate my point, you homofag

>>18572847
>just a protestant church
Protestant churches are not all the same.

>labatt is a just a macrobrew
That is distinct from Budweiser or Coors.

>the Americans are better at hockey
Still not an American sport. Australians are better at cricket, but cricket is still an English sport.

>it’s unique to New England
Boston architecture is very different from Philadelphia architecture. Which is different from New York architecture. Which is different from Halifax architecture. The Canadian colonies had minimal direct cultural or political relations to the lower 13 Colonies.

>America would never have a federal police
US Marshals were defined as such in the Constitution and served as much for most of the 19th century. The FBI these days are even more directly a federal force.
The Mounties were specifically meant to be agents of the Crown to enforce Anglo laws and culture on the frontier, similar but distinct from the purpose of the USMS.

>>18567414
Personally I THINK ITS TIME SOMEBODY DID SOMETHING about all the fucking moose humpers. ITS TIME ALL THE CANADIANS GOT VANNED FROM 4CHAN. THESE SYRUP CHUCKERS HAVE worn out their welcome!!1

>>18573009
>Protestant churches are not all the same.
There's nothing about the UCC that makes it unique from its US counterparts except the fact that it originated geographically in Canada.
>That is distinct from Budweiser or Coors.
How? Their cans are in the same coolers next to each other at the store, they cost the same, they taste the same and are in the same "category" (mainstream 5% beer)
>Still not an American sport. Australians are better at cricket, but cricket is still an English sport.
Cricket is Indian and Pakistani at this point since they're the ones obsessed with it and there are WAY more of them. The NHL is based in the US and that's what Canadians watch.
>Boston architecture is very different from Philadelphia architecture. Which is different from New York architecture. Which is different from Halifax architecture. The Canadian colonies had minimal direct cultural or political relations to the lower 13 Colonies.
Sure, I can concede that. Doesn't really strike me as significant though. I don't think an Albertan would even know about it. But they do know all about US politics, they watch US movies, shows, and news. They listen to US music, drive American cars, consume American brands, etc.
>US Marshals were defined as such in the Constitution and served as much for most of the 19th century. The FBI these days are even more directly a federal force.
There's not tens of thousands of marshalls or FBI agents riding around in squad cars on patrol in every part of the US. The Marshalls or FBI can't radio in and have dozens of them respond within minutes in most inhabited parts of the country.

>>18573078
Name one US protestant branch with the same practitional beliefs as the UCC, beyond ‘God and the Ten Commandments’.

>they taste the same
Blown out tastebuds. I can tell the difference between macrobrews, and I don’t even drink them.

>cricket is indian and pakistani
By that logic english is an american language, and the motor car is chinese. Moron.

>an Albertan may or may not know that
How many Americans know the difference between Baltimore and DC? Ignorance is not an argument.
>they just consume american products
So do europeans.

>there aren’t tens of thousands of glownigger agents riding around on regular patrol in the US

>>18572605
You have maybe half a point in that entire block of text, changing the flag so that it didn’t have a Union Jack on it was a platitude to the separatist French in Quebec who had nearly won a referendum to split from Canada at the time, changing from Imperial to Metric was just following suit with literally every other country in the world and only Americlaps are still retarded enough to keep that shit on life support and not patriating the Constitution would be absurd because it meant that every law that was passed went through our own House of Commons and Upper House (the Canadian Equivalent of the Senate) then had to be discussed again in the UK’s House of Lords. Imagine the US Senate, but instead of only possibly being inbred fuckwits it was a guarantee and then being responsible for not just one Country but half a dozen of them, it was a shitshow and made everything moved glacially. To be topical Pouding Chomeur is super easy to make and bretty good.

>>18576109
All EuroCanadians are losing their country to poos and chinks. Quebec's politicians and people seem more likely to be based on the immigration issue. Quebec City is unusually non-diverse for a Canadian city, but then again Montreal is very multi-racial. So Anglos should learn from the Francophones' example, but both need to wake up and cooperate against the incredibly rapid great replacement. Indulging in franco-anglo grievance is entirely pointless.
