The word "zeitgeist" makes more sense to me than the word culture. I know what "zeitgeist" means but the use of the word word culture is applied more generally to the point of being vague or anthropological. I grew up eating lots of McDonald's so is my culture Scottish, or fast foody?

I was watching a Rob Reiner interview today (Rest in Peace ๐Ÿ˜ญ) and he paused to think of the best word to complete his thought, and while he paused I thought "zeitgeist" is the perfect word to describe what he's talking about, and I KNOW that's the word he was searching for, but he used three other words as a synonym to describe it, and now I see you using the word zeitgeist, and hey, thanks for making me feel a little more complete today.

IMO, English Canadians don't really have a food that they can call their own. Quebec has poutine, tourtieres, pea soup, and other things. English Canada eats many of those things, but also a lot of generic North American or European things: hamburgers, steaks, North-American style pizza, pasta, stew, etc.

Where I think Canada might be a bit different is that after decades of high levels of immigration, Canada has a lot of foods from other parts of the world. It's common to find South Indian, Pakistani, Punjabi, Turkish, Persian, Carribean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Mexican, etc. restaurants in a city. Many of them cater to immigrants from those countries, so they're authentic tasting.

A lot of that is made at home too. While a home-made stir fry probably wouldn't taste authentically Chinese to someone from China, there are many meals from around the world that have been adapted for Canadian tastes. Very white people in Canada often cook adapted versions of Indian curries, Chinese stir fries, Mexican tacos, Thai curries, etc.

Agreed, but as a young nation of immigrants, it kinda comes with the territory. As a Canadian who lives abroad, people have asked me to cook 'Canadian food' for a dinner party more than once... I don't even know what that is.

I trust everywhere round the globe has it's own culture and heritage but some places are great with Culture, Cultural Food, Cultural Music, Cultural Dance, cultural History and Mysteries.

I'm originally from Nigeria ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ In Africa and as a citizen of the Giant of Africa, I can bet with my mother land that Africa is the true definition of Culture and Heritage.

Regardless the ongoing crisis, which is also happening in other places in the world. Africa has been great and will forever be great!!! โœŒโœŒโœŒ

Well my culture loves watching TV and vegging out!

Cmon, fish & chips with vinegar is not food. That's a snack at best.

Remember that episode of Enterprise with the web alien and the other aliens that didn't eat in public?
