Saborea Canada: Una aventura gastronómica única
Explora los sabores auténticos de Canada en una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable.
Gastronomía local
Canadian cuisine is as diverse as its geography and population. Influenced by British, French and indigenous cuisines, and enriched by waves of immigration from around the world, it offers robust and comforting flavours. Each region has its own specialties, from fresh coastal seafood to prairie meats and iconic Quebec products.
Platos Icónicos
Poutine
Originally from Quebec, it is the unofficial Canadian dish par excellence. It consists of a base of crispy fried potatoes, covered with pieces of cheese curds that squeak when you bite, and all bathed in a rich, hot meat sauce (gravy).
Tourtiere
A traditional Quebec meat pie, especially popular during the Christmas holidays. The recipe varies, but generally includes minced pork, beef or game, seasoned with spices such as cinnamon and cloves, inside a puff pastry dough.
Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich
A Montreal classic with Jewish influence. It consists of generous slices of cured and smoked brisket, served hot on rye bread with mustard. It is a filling and delicious sandwich.
Canadian Salmon
Especially wild salmon from the Pacific coast are recognized worldwide. It is enjoyed in multiple ways: grilled, smoked, in the form of 'candied salmon' or in fusion sushi dishes.
BannockEdit
A simple and versatile bread of indigenous origin. It can be baked or fried and is served either as an accompaniment to stews and soups, or as a base for desserts, covered with jam or maple syrup.
Peanut Bacon
A Toronto specialty. It is boneless pork loin, cured in brine and then rolled in corn flour (historically it was pea flour, hence the name). It is leaner than traditional bacon and is usually served in sandwiches.
