    I really like Stone Wheat Thins but you can buy them in Florida. As for the Poutine and other Quebec dishes, once again, if they separate I'd consider it a Quebecois dish.

    How about rhubarb pie? Does rhubard grow anywhere else? I've travelled a bit and never seen it elsewhere.

    Poutine & Montreal-style smoke meat are very much Quebecois, but gaining popularity across the country; spreading South too I might add. Tourtière is also Quebecois. The list includes a bunch of East & West coast treats and as much as I like Ketchup chips, and dislike Kraft dinner; Beer is a Canadian staple. A dish? Could be. Drink it at almost every meal - I bet we all do. Beer gets the nod here!

    Seafood -- salmon and clams from the west, lobsters and scallops from the east -- good any time of the day!

    I agree with the Maple Syrup comment. That is (and has been for a long time) truly Canadian. Poutine? You gotta be kidding me!

    I disagree with Poutine as Canada's dish. Poutine belongs to Quebec. If Quebec manages to pry itself away from Canada, would you still claim it as a Canadian dish?

    Moose meat.

    When we visit western Canada, we always enjoy Saskatoon Pie. I first had it in Alberta. It's unique to Canada, tasty, and great with coffee! Don't have it here in the U.S.

    How about Hawkins Cheezies?
