Alas, I would be disowned if I let some wily Canadian curd be touted as better than my own state’s sweetsweet manna. Therefore, I will assume they’ve been smuggled across Lake Superior from Wisconsin dairies.
Highly irregular.
Thank you! I’ll be here all week – try the succotash!
Well, given that Mexico is very definitely in North America (and that people in New Mexico have been eating a form of their food for 500 years or so), I’ll add:
Enchiladas (with red or green chile sauce)
Burritos
Carne Adovada
Mole
Sopaipillas
Indian fry bread (a bigger, flatter version of sopaipillas, really)
Refried beans
Menudo
At a conference once, I picked up what I thought was a fried mushroom…
Now, whenever I have mushrooms, my kids always ask: “Are you sure they’re mushrooms?”
Um, I think I’ll pass on the Rocky Mountain oysters, thanyouverymuch. I haven’t included much Mexican food because there is so much of it that it should deserve it’s own restaurant. I’m hesitant to include American-chinese food unless I can make it clear that it’s of American origin. Buffalo steaks, hmm. Never had them, but it might be part of a surf-n-turf entree. I think I’ll also add a Pacific coast seafood that would include salmon, trout, Alaska King crab, crab cakes. I was hoping for any other unique Canadian dishes, too. Menu Version 1.1 will be up in a day or so.
Vald/Igor, in 1994, I went to an “American” restaurant in Moscow. They served tomatoes and iceberg lettuce with mayonnaise, Yoplait yogurt cups, and pancakes with Hersheys syrup. Not that I recommend this menu, but it was fascincating to see Russians’ conception of American food.
Other posters have given a great list. I’d like to add onion rings (never had them anywhere else except Canada) and pulled pork sandwiches, i.e. Carolina-style barbeque.
