The Results Are In! Canadians Voted For Most Iconic Food

Jun 28, 2012

Can you guess what Canadian’s voted as the nation’s top food? The CBC hosted their final “What is Canadian Food?” series last night where they engaged in a live discussion about what types of food is Canada known for. Often, there are iconic dishes known to each region throughout the country such as Saskatoon berries, tourtiere in Quebec but the bigger question is there one dish that is representative of all Canada?

Foodie’s from across the country weighed in on the question through major social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. There was a compiled list of the top 10 nominated foods that were put to a vote. According to this series - the national food would be maple syrup! The other dishes in the running were poutine, Nanaimo bars, smoked salmon and butter tarts.

For those if you who missed out on all the fun you can replay the chat broadcast where the celebrity guest hosts - Mark McEwan, Aaron Joseph Bear Robe and Carl Heinrich.

As Canadian’s gear up across the country for Canada Day celebrations this weekend don’t forget to enjoy a swig of some maple syrup!

Video: Secure Pork Supply Plan | Prepare to Protect Your Herd | U.S. Pork Producers

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer, as she dives into the vital role of the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan in preparing the U.S. pork industry for potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. This video is an essential watch for pork producers who are looking to safeguard their operations against the threats of diseases like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. Why Should Pork Producers Care? An outbreak of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. could lead to severe restrictions and potentially result in industry-wide financial losses estimated between $15 to $100 billion. The SPS Plan is a collective effort to prevent such catastrophic outcomes by enhancing biosecurity, ensuring animal traceability, and promoting effective disease monitoring.
