Do you know any restaurants in Vancouver? Of course Yes! , don't you? There are lots of restaurants and also any kind of food. You might be able to eat all kinds of food in Vancouver. Afrikan, Bulgarian, fast food, German, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Spanish, Thailand and anything you want. When I came here, I was surprised it. Even Tokyo we might not have many types of restaurants so much. I don't think that every food is totally same as thier original food like we hardly eat "California rolls" in Japan. It is very common as Sushi in Canada though. So the food may be changed a taste and a style as canadian like. But it happens in Japan, too. So we can sometimes discover that there are some difference between canadian and other countries. That's interesting. We can enjoy eating the food in Vancouver.

By the way, do you know what canadian food is? Fish and chips are from England, Hambergers are from USA... Is there any traditional canadian food? I was often thinking about it when I came here. And some people said that they don't have any traditional food because the canadian history has not been long. It's still young. However others told me about a Poutine. I think that it seems a Poutine is a real canadian food.

What's is a Poutine?

Poutine is a dish consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curds and covered with hot gravy (usually brown gravy) and sometimes other additional ingredients. The curds' freshness is important as it makes them soft in the warm fries, without completely melting. It is a quintessential Canadian comfort food, especially but not exclusively among Québécois.
Poutine is a fast food staple in Canada; it is sold by many fast food chains (such as New York Fries and Harvey's) in the provinces, in small diners and pubs, as well as by roadside "poutine trucks" and "fries stands," commonly known as "casse-croûtes" in Quebec. International chains like McDonalds, A&W, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Burger King also sell mass-produced poutine across Canada, especially in Quebec.





It was so yummy. I like it very much but it must be unhealthy though haha. Be carefull eating it too much.
