  • Canadian Desserts (Paper).Pdf
    Canadian Desserts By Everett “Forget the beaver, forget the glorious maple leaf, forget the haunting loon, for all these years the country has completely overlooked the most important contribution to our identity as a nation, the butter tart. The delicate crust supports the rich and creamy center just as the oceans border our natural resources and the people and the animals that dwell here.” (The Canadian Encyclopedia). There are many different opinions on what Canada’s best most iconic dessert is, and most opinions vary from province to province. The most recognizable desserts have varied from era to era. Many factors have contributed to the identity of Canadian desserts. Canadians love a good dessert which has evolved over time, some desserts are the most popular and each popular dessert has a reason why it's considered Canadian. Today in Canada there is a wide selection of desserts to choose from but the most recommended desserts will change depending on what province you are in. On the east coast the butter tart is the most popular dessert. on the prairies the flapper pie is all the rage but in British Columbia the Nanaimo bar reigns supreme. The Nanaimo bar is Canada’s favorite confection as declared by a readers poll in the national post in 2006. There are many reasons why the Nanaimo bar is so popular; one reason is that it is named after the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia. Another reason is that it has been around for so long and it's kind of grown on people. But the most popular dessert might vary from person to person or some people might believe that butter tarts are better with raisins or they are better without.

  • British Colombia
    Celebrates Canada 150 – British Colombia Welcome to British Colombia, also known as B.C. British Colombia is Canada’s most westerly province – a mountainous area whose population is mainly clustered in its southwestern corner, Vancouver. British Colombia is Canada’s third largest province after Quebec and Ontario, making up 10% of Canada’s land surface. B.C. is a land of diversity and contrast within small areas. British Colombia has two main regions, “the coast” and “the interior”; these two regions both have numerous contrasts and variations within them. Coastal landscapes, characterized by high, snow-covered mountains, contrast with the broad forested upland of the central interior and the plains of the northeast. Mountains cover most of this westerly province. The Rocky Mountains rise abruptly about 1,000–1,500 m above the foothills of Alberta, and some of their snow- and ice-covered peaks tower more than 3,000 m above sea level. Two other mountain systems lie west of the Rocky Mountain Trench: the Columbia Mountains to the south, and the Cassiar-Omineca Mountains to the north. The Interior Plateau made up of broad and gently rolling uplands, covers central British Columbia. There are wide variations in climate within small areas of British Columbia. The major climate contrast is between the coast and the interior, but there are also significant variations between valleys and uplands, and between the northern and southern parts of the province. Relatively warm air masses from the Pacific Ocean bring mild temperatures to the coast during the winters, while cold water keeps coastal temperatures cool in the summer.

  • Notes from the Nanaimo Bar Trail
    Vol. 1, No. 1, p. 10-19 May 2014 Perspective Notes from the Nanaimo bar trail Lenore Lauri Newman Department of Geography, University of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford, BC, [email protected] Abstract Archival work suggests that the Nanaimo bar is based on a recipe for unbaked chocolate cake published in the Vancouver Sun in 1947 and republished in 1948. The bar itself was likely developed by a member or members of the Nanaimo Hospital Auxiliary, and the first known recipe was published in 1952 in that group’s cookbook. The mystery of the bar’s origins is explored, the bar's place within the tradition of ‘dainties’ is noted, and its current role within Nanaimo’s efforts at place making is documented. Introduction There is an enjoyable puzzle to food. Even the most quotidian element of a cuisine or foodway hides a convoluted and often deeply personal tale of adaptation, evolution, and affection. The origin of the Nanaimo bar is an enduring local mystery that has piqued interest in the confection locally and nationally. (See Zeidler [2013] for a recent summary of the origin mystery.) The story of food is often unsung, hidden in cookbooks, newspapers, and oral histories. Study of these tidbits can reveal a surprisingly complex culinary tradition; as noted by Gertz (1993, p.19) “one must find cultural artifacts capable of rendering the curve of social discourse into an inspectable form.” As Adema (2009) notes, food is encoded with significance and is a vehicle for communication. The Nanaimo bar speaks of a land and its people, and the bar continues to act as a place-making cultural artifact.

Box 1749 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 3A5 Canada Item No. 11.5.5 REVISED Request for Council’s Consideration X Included on Agenda Added Item Request from the Floor (Submitted to Municipal (Submitted to Municipal Clerk’s Office by Noon Clerk’s Office by Noon Thursday) Monday) Date of Council Meeting: Tuesday, October 20, 2015 Subject: Donair: Official food of Halifax Regional Municipality Motion for Council to Consider: Halifax Regional Council request a staff report to consider approving the Donair as the Official Food of Halifax Regional Municipality Reason: The Donair is Halifax’s most unique and famous delicacy. The recipe for the Donair was founded by Peter Gamalakos. He opened Halifax’s first Donair shop, The King of Donair on Quinpool Road in 1973. The Donair was a staple food item for families and students in the area. It has since become an iconic food and symbol of Halifax Regional Municipality and Nova Scotia. The Province of Nova Scotia has advertised the Donair across Canada to attract tourism and the Downtown Halifax Business Commission has used it to promote downtown Halifax. Visitors come to Halifax to experience their first Donair. The Donair has brought recognition to Halifax unlike any other food. Examples of where it has been noted: - National Geographic’s World Best Cities - Numerous versions of Air Canada’s EnRoute Magazines - Halifax Magazine - Halifax Herald - CNN’s Anthony Bourdain sought out a Donair and ate one while attending the opening ceremonies at the 2013 Devour Foodfest - President’s Choice Insider’s Report - The Food Network’s Great Canadian Cookbook - Roger’s TV shows and promotion for the 2015 Blue Jays team.
