Summary: This article was about the top 50 "Most Canadian Foods", and why they are so Canadian. It gives information on each food item including what it is and where it is from. Some of the foods include poutine (French fries with cheese curds and gravy), ketchup chips (chips that taste like ketchup), and Tourtière (a spiced and savory meat pie from Quebec).
My thoughts: I think this is a very entertaining and informative article that gives quality insight into daily life of Canadians - in the way of foods they eat. I found this article very interesting because I have had some of these foods before and it was cool to see where they came from and why Canadians like them so much. I also found it interesting to see what the surveys had to offer about what Candians usually eat.
How it connects to culture: This article ties into the culture of Canada by tapping into the seemingly rich diets of the stereotypical Canadian. It gives information on traditonal Canadian desserts, snacks, and meals. Traditional Canadian food is an important part of Canadian culture because many Canadian stereotypes are associated with the foods they eat. For example, everyone knows about the stereotype of all Canadians loving maple syrup, and the information in the article seems to prove that.
