About This Quiz

There are so many things to see and do in Canada. From visiting the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia to the flowing Atlantic Ocean by Nova Scotia and beautiful Prince Edward Island, it could take a long time to truly experience the country in full. But along the way, you'll definitely have to stop and have a bite to eat. Fortunately, Canada is home to many snacks you may not have even heard of. It's more than just maple syrup and Tim Horton's in the north!

While Canada is often stereotyped by the food that is most often associated with the country, it is true that they are a big part of everyday life. A little bit of maple syrup on some bread is the perfect morning treat for many Canadians. It's true, grabbing some Tim Horton's coffee on the way to work in the morning is a tradition as well.

Whether you've made your way to Canada and tasted some of these treats yourself or even if you've never been there at all, chances are you can still get a few of these Canadian snacks right. If you think you can ace this, give it a shot to see if you can eat like a true Canadian!
