14 Canadian Foods You May Not Have Tried

It seems like you can get anything at the grocery store nowadays. Many Canadians have tried all sorts of international eats, but there are tons of regional delicacies that rarely make it across the country. While they're part of everyday eating for locals, you may need to book a trip to taste all of these foods yourself.

Dulse

This bright, rubbery seaweed is harvested on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and is a booming business for some communities as seaweed becomes more popular. Salty, a little smoky and a little nutty, the red seaweed can be eaten fresh or dried, and makes a particularly tasty Caesar ingredient.

Moose

Moose hunting is common in many communities across Canada, including parts of Newfoundland, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. Moose meat has a flavour similar to beef, but is very lean, meaning it's best when slow cooked, stewed, in sausage or ground with a little bit of fat and served as burger.

Halifax Donairs

Synonymous with the East Coast city, these late-night wraps are stuffed with thinly sliced and perfectly spiced meat, onions, tomatoes, and the one-of-a-kind, sweet and garlicky donair sauce. While there's a few rare places outside of Nova Scotia where you can grab one of these intentionally drippy sandwiches, the real deal is always found in Halifax.
