Culture of food in Canada

Essentially, Canadian food culture is very similar to American cuisine, but with an added emphasis on traditional British dishes, and some uniquely Canadian dishes (poutine, nanaimo bars). Of course, as a multicultural country there are a wide variety of cuisines from different nations (Chinese, Italian, Indian, etc.) Quebec is an area that has its own cuisine culture and several unique dishes.
