2. What do Canadians like to eat and drink?
Canadians eat a lot of beef and chicken, less pork and some lamb.
Lamb is generally available only in small quantities and is expensive. Other specialty
meats such as bison (buffalo) is fairly easy to find.
Canadians seem reluctant to eat other animals.
Canadians love to barbeque their meat. You will find barbeques in almost every yard
(garden) and on many decks and balconies.
Even a small balcony that is only large enough to hold perhaps two chairs will also
have a barbeque. These are close BBQ’s not open like in Korea.
The food cooks very quickly at high temperature. Canadians barbeque their food
even when there is snow on the ground and the temperature is as low as -30°C!
Fresh fruit and vegetables are available all year, they are imported when needed
during the colder parts of the year. Quality depends of what you expect.
The appearance is generally excellent, that being the measure that the supermarkets
use to judge quality. Taste is a different matter, much of the food lacks flavour,
especially the fruit and vegetables.

3. Food is sold by appearance rather than flavour health benefits. Good looking
produce is preferred to better flavour.
Organic produce is normally available at a higher price.
In terms of what Canadians earn, some foods are cheap while others are expensive.

Drinks
Canadians drink a lot of carbonated (fizzy) soft drinks, referred to in Canada as 'pop'
or 'soda', such as cola and orange.
These are sold in cans and bottles up to about 2 litres. Generally these are cheap,
especially the larger sizes.
Small sizes are available from vending machines in many locations although these
are expensive when compared to buying the same item in a supermarket.
