Is there a Canadian Food?

Is there a "Canadian Food?" I don't mean back bacon... and not regionalized ethnic (French in Montreal as an example). Just a nationally recognized Canadian Food.

    Not back bacon, not regionalized, and not ethnic - you ask tough questions!

    Bread

    Potatoes

    Beef

    Fish - as long as you don't narrow it down to a species.

    Coffee - our all day drink

    Canadian beer - our all evening drink

    Easterners may think that maple is nation-wide but it is mostly eastern. Poutine is mostly Quebecois - good but ethnic and/or regional.

    Mac n' Cheese is the national favourite, otherwise it's very simular to the United States: burgers, fries, sandwitches, hot dogs, bbq, etc... although Canuks have a history with maple and sometimes put gravy on their fries (across Canada)

    Yeah, it looks disgustingly delicious.. =P

    It is called 'Poutine'. It is soft fries with cheese curds and brown gravy.

    There are some very frightening pictures of it on Wikipedia.. lol.

    I dont think they really have a Canadian food. Their back ground is so Fench there food is mostly french, but they eat a lot like Americans now I think. Thear location has made them have many different influences.
