Poutine ice cream ("poutine glac?e"):



"The dessert is made out of a quite big serving of soft serve ice cream, with chocolate wafers cookies (the fries), topped with tiny marshmallow and caramel popcorn (the cheddar curds) and caramel syrup (the sauce)."

To be fair to the Canadians, they need more calories than we do since they have to deliver their own mail.

My national dish: the mighty pierogi - The Globe and Mail

...The geography of the pierogi, in other words, is nearly identical to NHL ratings and Tim Hortons franchise density. It?s what separates us from them. In other words, it?s a Canadian Studies thesis waiting to be written.

Winnipeg Gets Its Hockey Team Back - BusinessWeek

 

[David Baxter PhD]

On Winnipeg, from the article cited above by Daniel:

Once the center of western Canada's economy, the prairie capital stalled through the '80s and '90s as grain prices fell, the loonie plunged, and manufacturing declined. Fed up with lost opportunities, brutally cold winters, and summers plagued by giant mosquitoes, workers fled to Calgary and Toronto. Historic buildings were abandoned, and Portage Avenue—considered by some the coldest stretch of pavement on Earth—became Canada's largest skid row. "Nobody built a damn thing in Winnipeg in the 1990s," says Martin Cash, a Jets fan and business writer for the Winnipeg Free Press. "I mean, it was grim."

Craig Evans, CEO of Granny's Poultry Cooperative, the U.S. Steel of the Manitoba chicken wing business, suggests "a doubling of wing volume in the city is not unrealistic." Granny's expects sales of the company's signature boneless Wingstix—now Jetstix—to jump from 4,000 lb. a year to 20,000 lb.

The rest of the city hopes to benefit from trickle- down puckonomics.
