brrrr

Today, according to that little weather yoke over there in the sidebar, it was -13C and feeling -24C (I think that's about -10 American). While not quite the coldest place on Earth, I think most people would agree that it's really fairly chilly, you know, cold enough that you might need a scarf.
So, not surprisingly I wasn't too keen to go outside.
I wasn't alone in my reluctance.
This presented a bit of a dilemma unfortunately, as there was not very much food in the fridge.
I briefly considered an Elvis sandwich, which according to legend is the grilled banana and peanut butter sandwich (recipe here ).
I didn't, had an omlette instead, quite good, come round I'll make you one.
Anyway I got to thinking about National dishes. Lots of countries have a traditional stew-type dish -Irish stew, goulash, scouse, borscht even curry and chilli could be considered to be in the same group. But I couldn't think if there was a Canadian version.
Turns out there are lot of traditional foods, depending on the area of this vast country, but no stew type dish.
And now I wondering why?
Does anyone know?
