Canadian food culture is defined by regional diversity, Indigenous foundations, multicultural influences, and adaptation to climate and geography. From coast to coast to coast, each region developed distinct traditions based on local ingredients and communities. Immigration waves brought global cuisines that adapted to Canadian ingredients, creating fusion dishes found nowhere else. This diversity within unity makes Canadian food culture uniquely rich and constantly evolving.
