Canadian Food

Before this mission, I have no idea about Canadian food. But, after receiving Diana’s mission website and pre-test worksheet, I started to surf on the internet to find some information of Canadian food. When surfing on the internet, I found out that some names of Canadian food are French. The reason might be Canada has ever colonized by France. Consequently, the Canadian food might contain some French flavor.

On November 14th, through Jason’s description of the poutine’s ingredients and cooking method, I think that poutine is the most traditional food and that we can cook it by ourselves because of the cooking method is easy to learn. At the end of the mission, Jason briefly compared the Taiwanese and Canadian table manners and took some examples. What example impressed me most was that he mentioned that Canadian people don’t talk with the food full of their mouth. But, Taiwanese people sometimes eat out with their friends and talk loudly and eat at the same time. This rude behavior might give foreigners a bad impression and let them regard us as the uncultured people.
