Thanks for sharing your adventures!
There are some truly memorable dishes from the Canadian national kitchen.
One of them is Quebec style pea soup. And the meat pie, which I shall completely misspell, Tourtiere. There used to be truly excellent Canadian pork, unless the health "police" got to it like Stateside pork.
Not to mention Canadian cheeses, one of the best (as far as I am concerned-) being Black Diamond Cheddar.
Then, how could anyone forget that memorable Canadian treat, The Butter Tart. Think of a two-three bite pecan pie, but with a few, and I do mean few raisins on the inner bottom of the crust. Memorable with a cup of good tea, lovely eating without.
Ontario apples are among the best in the world, and when the weather cooperates, the peaches are very good, as well.

I have yet to try Loblaws in person, but I hear good things.
Oh, yes. May Madame Jehane Benoit rest easily. She was the equivalent of Irma (Joy of Cooking) Rombauer for Canada.
