That beaver tail is a native american frybread we call the one with butter sugar and cinnamon elephant ears because of the resemblance go to a pow wow we have be making those for a very long time
Call me weird, but I hate hate hate fried food. People usually don't believe me for some reason. The only things in this video that I would try are the tart and the cake.
@@Jabberwocky869 People always think I’m crazy for not loving pizza. I mean, they’re not bad, but they’re also not the most amazing food in the world like how people treat it. Or perhaps I just don’t like being constipated after I go to a friends party and ate pizza. Probably both
Beaver tail is Native American and sooo yummy. That was a huge treat in my family but we just called it fried dough. Never heard of it being called a Beaver tail or elephant ear before but doesn't matter what name anybody calls it, it's delicious just the same!
We grabbed what seemed like 500 bags of all dressed and ketchup chips to smuggle back to the US when i was in Victoria. They're my fave and my fiance is obsessed with both. Old dutch is the best!! I need to get back to Canada again.
@sugarbxg._ try just getting a pack of salted crisps (chips) and sprinkling some dried oregano or Mediterranean herb mix in then holding the bag closed give the bag a little shake to mix it up 🙂
Yesss! They are so good. We had them in Albania first but we are in Greece now so I’m definitely going to be looking for them again. Thanks for that reminder lol
Plain poutine is great. Freshly fried, still crispy, fries topped with warm cheese curds and chicken or beef gravy. Beyond the basics, the toppings and sauces can be your playground! 😊
@@mjrussell414Timmie’s sucks all around now. I miss their Bowties, and the other goodies, they used to make before everything started getting shipped in frozen. It’s ironic because they started using the “Always Fresh” slogan, when they switched to everything coming in pre-made.
What a fun video.😊 I love all those foods. Butter tarts and the bars are usually only served,for my family anyway,at Christmas time. I'm from Quebec so poutine is eaten regularly and the chips are a snack staple.Only thing not eaten regularly are the beaver tails so I obviously want one now.😉
I’m a Michigander and my first job was at a Tim Hortons. I know exactly what Timbits taste like. Though I preferred to have a custom fill doughnut made from a leftover. Jelly filling, chocolate fondant and graham cracker crumb. Soooooo good!😋
@@fd6944you should add All Dressed Ruffles and Kraft peanut butter to the list. I can’t vouch for the peanut butter (allergy) but those are two more things my Canadian friends/family miss the most!
Love Canada. Mostly only been in Vancouver and briefly Quebec. I find the Asian and immigrant food in general excellent. Far superior in quality and price than Seattle. Tim Hortons and ketchup flavored chips failed to impress. ❤
I love them with gravy also. My moms family is from Quebec and my dads from Nova Scocia. I never knew it was a Canadian thing. My dad used to fry dough for us and sprinkle it with sugar and cinnamon. Again, never new. Have a great night!
I’ve never liked them and before I could read, I would mix up BBQ and ketchup chips and always end up with those disgusting ketchup ones! I think I have ptsd from going to concession stands alone in the 80s 😂
ketchup chips, canadian all dressed chips, guac doritos, ketchup doritos and anything tims were my favs visiting my canadian grandparents as a kid (and rolo mcflurries)
My grandparents used to make butter tarts for parties. They are both from Canada Quebec and Montreal. They were the best things I love them! I also miss them 😢
ONION AND GARLIC OLD DUTCH CHIPS ARE #1. I grew up with those, and the ONLY chip I have found that has ever come close to being as yummy as those were the Limited Edition Lay's "Scalloped Potatoes" flavour! Absolutely EVERYBODY I have ever introduced to O&G chips LOVED them!
As an American, albeit an Angelino, I'd only heard of one of these. I bet people closer to Canada haven heard of a lot of Mezzo-American dishes we have here.
For poutine your always going to get the best experience at places that get fresh cheese curds, while they last a long time if they need to be refrigerated they loose a lot of theur texture which is part of the mouth feel of the dish. The best poutine I've personally had was in Ottawa just a stones throw away from Quebec but basically anywhere using fresh or as close to fresh curds will be the best choice
As a Canadian, I approve every suggestions! If you ever get the chance to go there, I do recommend to try Belgo's poutine! It offers a great variety of toppings for your meal, like veggies (served in a eatable bowl), all kinds of meats, as well as fried squeaky cheese curds and "poulet popcorn" (fried chicken bits). It's a more local restaurant, but it has a pretty good quality :))
@@UguuUng lol ok. But my comment didn't state anything about obesity. I'm just saying it sounds really gross. Idk if I would eat gravy if I were dying of starvation. Lol
Beaver tails are a very rare treat, but it is also very tasty. As a Canadian, I am not a big fan of poutine, I prefer crispy fries. Butter tarts are also quite delicious and commonly available.
It’s Nanaimo, not Nainmo haha 😂 my mom lives one town over from Nanaimo (which is a small city on Vancouver Island) so I’ve been there lots of times to catch the ferry to Vancouver. And yes, Nanaimo bars are amazing (because they are mostly butter).
We have Heinz Ketchup Lay's in Belgium too, but the bag is black, and the crisps themselves aren't colored red. I've always wanted to try the Canadian version 😅
The beaver tail looks like what I would call bannock. From indigenous peoples, often a fried bread but you can also wrap the dough around a fresh cut stick and cook it over a camp fire. Yum
I know "beaver tails" as "elephant ears" in the USA. A regular elephant ear is cinnamon sugar, and popular toppings are strawberries, apples, and cherries. :)
We in America are pretty similar to our Northern Counterparts 1. We call disco fries popular in Wisconsin 2. We have funnel cakes served generally at fairs it’s a thin pancake batter deep fat fried into a circular shape made of tunnels topped with powdered sugar 3. Is a chess pie popularized by families who couldn’t afford nuts or were very short on ingredients but needed a dessert (similar to pecan pie except no nuts or in the UK treacle tarts) 4. We now have ketchup chips too but BBQ is the go to here 5. We have Tim’s here too 🎉 Tim bits are doughnut holes American humor just kills the sales of them 😅
oh we have the second one in Argentina and it's a national dish... 😅 we have it with sugar. my mom used to bake them when I was a kid and she would let me go crazy with quince jam. That was our mediatarde/snack. she had them with mate, and I would have it with mate cocido or tea❤ it brings fond memories from my childhood
Hey uh, I’m originally from Vancouver Island Canada where Nanaimo bars were invented. True story, they were actually made in a small town to the South of Nanaimo called Ladysmith. But then again, Ladysmith Bars don’t quite have the same ring to it, now do they? 😂❤
As a Canadian- if you get ketchup chips (or any chips) get Old Dutch brand. Also, you can and should miss anything Tim Hortons. Large cities have amazing 3rd wave coffee and pastries. Timbits just come from a freezer bag.
Ketchup chips are ultimate nostalgia! Though rare, i usually managed to scour them whenever i found them on the monthly trips to the grocery store. Fun times indeed 🥲
I love poutine! Only thing I swap my cheese curbs with tonsil stones or garlic cloves because of the flavour. People need to try tonsil stones with fries because of the sour flavour that adds to it. Gonna dig for some stones now!
I have been in Canada so many times when I lived in Alaska. Went up and down the Cassiar and Al-Can probably 100 times from the Lower 48 back to AK. I NEVER found but one restaurant that my family could stand the food in. It was a Russian cafe in a little out if the way town that I cannot remember now. Canadian food is the most bland tasteless food I ever ate. My husband said that only English food was more tasteless!He was stationed there for 2 years. Don't believe any of this! The only thing that would be enticing would be the Native Fry Bread if fresh fried.
The beaver tail looks like a Mexican treat we called buñuelos. It's also a fried dough topped with cinnamon and sugar. If you live outside of Canada and you have a Mexican bakery around they should have them. I mean it's basically a churro just flat.
Me impatiently waiting for Nanaimo bars to appear... would also add Canadian Cadbury Mini Eggs to the list, those things are super addictive and much better than UK and US versions.
That beaver tail is a native american frybread we call the one with butter sugar and cinnamon elephant ears because of the resemblance go to a pow wow we have be making those for a very long time
I was gonna say it looks fry bread. I learned that in a food documentary.
My state calls it a scone and pairs it with honey butter. So good!
I was gonna say it was an elephant ear! I knew it looked familiar!!
My mother bought them often when I was younger
Yes we call them elephant ears in the part of the US I'm in
Where I live they're called also Tiger Ears. Though that might just be because of the ISU Bengal Tigers.
My German ass thought it was a Schnitzel
I am not German, but thought the same thing.
My Romanian ass thought the same 😂
@@Im_Alex.mp4I was kind of relieved, for a schnitzel it doesn't look very good.
Ging mir auch so
Same😂
I love that basically every country has their own version of "basically fried bread" 😂😂 we all know fried carbs are one of humans best discoveries 🤣

I live in Maine and we have a brand called Humpty Dumpty and they make all dressed chips too and YES soooo delicious!!
@@lisafranklin9089we have Humpty Dumpty in Canada too :) tasty snacks
Yes living in the states i was intrigued when I saw those and had to try them. Soo good!!
Yes, would def pick all dressed over ketchup
Omg i travelled to Canada and had all of these. Just delicious.
A proper Montreal Smoked meat sandwhich is also unbeatable. But solid list!!
When I visited Greece they had Greek oregano lays chips and I swear they were the best chip flavor I have ever had
Woah!!
As someone who loves oregano, I need to try this

When I had poutine, this was not an option. I really wanted it without seasonings like Ranch.
Tis my dream to have some poutine
Good to be Canadian!! 🇨🇦 gotta love the food here!
I didn't think I could love Canadians more, and then I saw this short.
All the things I miss from home. I've been living in the states for 14 years now and all is these are on my list when I visit home
As a Canadian I didn't even know some of these were "Canadian foods" 😂 Poutine is one of my favs & ketchup chips remind me of childhood 🤗❤️
Tim bits are the ultimate childhood breakfast
Timbits with a small hot chocolate brings me back to elementary field trips
It’s too bad they always taste stale now.

Poutine & butter tart is life
Butter tarts are the greatest.....glad that you enjoyed our treats.
I really really want to try butter tarts. I read about them in the comic 'For Better or for Worse' and I've been intrigued ever since.
they are pecan pie without the pecans
Omg I used to love that comic/show 😢 The raisin butter tarts are superior, btw 👌
I am Canadian and I approve this list 😄
Coffee Crisp. The best.
Yes, from Fort Erie , Ontario.
What a fun video.😊 I love all those foods. Butter tarts and the bars are usually only served,for my family anyway,at Christmas time. I'm from Quebec so poutine is eaten regularly and the chips are a snack staple.Only thing not eaten regularly are the beaver tails so I obviously want one now.😉
Canadian here. I love poutine 😍😍😍
Man, I've always wanted to try poutine, it looks so good! 🤤
80% of Cdns just grabbed their pearls when you mentioned raisins in butter tarts.
Butter tarts are best with currants never seen nuts in a buttertarts.
Pecans, baby!@@jessestewart169
I’m a Michigander and my first job was at a Tim Hortons. I know exactly what Timbits taste like. Though I preferred to have a custom fill doughnut made from a leftover. Jelly filling, chocolate fondant and graham cracker crumb. Soooooo good!😋
My Canadian friend would always send me Hawkins Cheezies! So yum… ❤
God I love Cheezies. I get them every time I visit my mom back in Canada.
Whenever Canadian friends and family visit, they know they're required to bring Cheezies. And dill pickle chips.
Omg yes! I absolutely love those too!

@@LonEr4evah yes!! They are so good 🫶
Definitely gotta have the ketchup chips. Once i open a bag, i cant put them down
