Canada

The idea is simple enough - potato-filled dumplings, pan-fried in butter. I was sold at ‘potato’, and then further reeled in by ‘dumpling’, and ‘fried in butter’ will get me every time.
If you're looking for quintessential Canadian desserts you will find: Butter Tarts and Nanaimo Bars. Ubiquitous, sugar powerhouses, and bit sized, both are pretty tasty treats and definitely should be shared with friends!
Let's talk about bagels! I had never thought about making bagels, ever. I just assumed it was too hard, they'd be too complicated, or they couldn't possibly be as good as my local bagelry. Turns out I was wrong on all accounts.
Lentil, Apple, Raddichio, Goat Cheese, Walnuts, Lemony Vinagarette... the perfect accompaniment to any dinner, or a great meal in itself.
When I think Canadian Cuisine two things come to mind:
Joe Beef and the Montreal episode of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown and...
Poutine.
These date bars are very rich and full of warming flavors.
