By Lorraine Stevenson February 15, 2012

I’ve been thinking about the concept of a “Canadian diet” lately, and what foods and ingredients might such a diet emphasize. Fiddleheads? Bacon? Butter tarts? I doubt it. A Canadian diet can’t possibly be a defined menu of select ingredients or chosen dishes in a multicultural society such as ours. Rather, what I’ve come to
