How about a little cross section of Canada: Poached Ontario pear salad with dandelion greens, cranberries, and wild rice with a rhubarb strawberry vinaigrette to start. Chilled Pelee Island Gewurztraminer in the glass. Main would be rare buffalo sirloin, grilled with Montreal steak spice and topped with garlic maple butter with a side of mashed PEI potatoes, aged Oka cheese and horseradish. Sides would be fiddle heads and wild mushrooms sauteed in shallots and a nice Okanagan pinot noir. Big Rock Traditional Ale as a beverage. Dessert would be a dish of Chapman’s vanilla ice cream and fresh field berries (raspberries, blackberries, and saskatoons). With a glass or two of Sortilege maple liqueur and/or Glen Breton to finish it off. Of course, if you aren’t that hungry, we’ll run by Tim Horton’s for a maple dip and a double double. ---

Well, besides my culture, there’s the menu from the city of my birth: A steak sandwich. With or without cheese. With or without onions. Or some kind of hoagie Black Cherry Soda A soft pretzel Tastykakes [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-at-your-nationalitys-restaurant-what-should-i-get/694120.md?page=5)
