...Famously, New Yorkers are proud of their pillowy version of the breakfast treats. But some city dwellers actually prefer the Canadian import, and line up at a Brooklyn deli called Mile End, which ships them in from across the border. Haven't tried the Canadian specialty?

Parks Canada app serves up moose-nose soup
Parks Canada app serves up moose-nose soup

Moose muffle soup is connected
with the Fort Anne National Historic
Site in Annapolis Royal, N.S. (Parks Canada)
Parks Canada hopes to draw ?foodies? to historic sites by launching a smartphone application with old-time recipes such as eel stew and fried muskrat.
Professional chefs from an Ottawa college prepared 60 recipes for the free, downloadable app, called Heritage Gourmet, which pairs dishes with Canadian history.
The launch is part of Parks Canada's 100th anniversary celebrations.
"We thought it's about time for us to experiment with smartphone apps. Also we thought maybe reaching out to people who are foodies might be a way of enticing a different audience to get to know our national historic sites," project manager Tamara Tarasoff said.
Because the recipes are inspired by history, some are very unusual. Frying muskrat or using moose nose as a soup ingredient wouldn't be palatable to most cooks these days, so the application recommends more common substitutes.
Learning through the senses
Nova Scotia historian Anne Marie Lane Jonah submitted recipes for bread and hot chocolate from the Fortress of Louisbourg. She says food can help people connect with the past.
"I think it's such a great tool really for opening a door. It's a key. It is a way that you engage people's senses in what they're learning and any learning that's associated with the senses, it stays. It's much more meaningful and food immediately interests people and they understand."
In many of Canada's parks visitors can already learn about the history of food in the area, Tarasoff said.
"They have activities where they prepare food, talk about food. There might be certain ingredients that are associated with the site, there are historic characters who had favourite recipes, favourite dishes."
The app is available free of charge from the iTunes online app store or through a link on the Parks Canada website. Currently it is only available for iPhone, but Android and Blackberry versions are coming soon, according to the website.
