Characteristics of Canadian diet

The characteristics of Canadian diet like to eat cold food, and the more distinctive dishes are maple sugar and salmon.

Hot food is a major feature of China's food culture. Generally, it is cooked and fried now, and a few cold dishes are only used for drinking. The food culture in Canada is quite different, preferring to eat cold food, but there are few cold dishes.

The host cooked all kinds of dishes first, then put them into bowls, plates, saucers and other utensils, and then put all kinds of dishes on the kitchen table in turn. After all the guests arrive, you can enjoy it. Because the dishes are cooked early and for a long time, they become cold dishes, and Canadians call them "cold dinners".

Canadian specialties include maple syrup and salmon. Maple sugar is the juice of sugar maple (Acersaccharum). Maple sugar is rich in minerals and organic acids, and its calories are lower than sucrose, fructose and corn sugar, but calcium, magnesium and organic acids are much higher than other sugars, which can supplement the weak constitution with unbalanced nutrition.

Canada's "three noes" diet culture

First, don't drink or smoke.

In China, whether friends and relatives are invited to dinner at home or entertained in a hotel restaurant, there must be alcohol and tobacco entertainment. It seems that leaving alcohol and tobacco is disrespectful to the guests. This is not the case in Canada. No matter whether you get together at home or go to a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, there is no alcohol or tobacco to entertain guests.

Third, don't arrange tables and seats

People in China invite their relatives and friends to have dinner at home. They always arrange tables and seats, and the seating of the guests is exquisite, with respect for elders, young and old, and different positions. In Canada, tables and seats are not arranged at banquets. Guests will take out disposable plastic dinner pots and forks, set them one by one in front of the table full of meals, choose their favorite meals and dishes, and then leave to find a place to eat.
