Ideas anyone?

[kbear]

I've been put in charge of the Canadian table at my kids' school's International Night. (We live in the UK) Does anyone have any quintessentially Canadian food ideas I haven't thought of

I'm always suprised to see lentils are always grown in Canada.

Granted these might not be quite identifiable enough but when I was a kid we ate:

Peanut butter & Jam sandwiches

Ants on a log - celery filled with peanut butter and line raisins up in a row down the peanut butter

Rice crispie squares- they are easy to make and apparently different than the UK recipe. http://www.kelloggs.com/brand/rk/recipe_classics.shtml

*Grin* even Macarroni and Chesse. It's a fairly dependable staple.

Sorry if it's not much help.

You just listed all my favorite foods as a kid and my comfort foods as an adult :)
I'm American though.

Have you ever tried cream cheese and olives (pieces of olive cut up in the cream cheese) in celery sticks. Also very yummy.
