1) The food is expensive. Not having much experience in supermarkets, but without a doubt the best

One of the first things I did before coming to Canada was to find what was the typical food of the country. Normally, when you do a search of this kind on the Internet in any country, you get a variety of websites with many recommendations. Canada does not. While enjoying a rich agriculture, as it has 7% of the fresh water reserves around the world and a quarter of the arable land, has little culinary tradition. Well, except tourtière a meatloaf Christmas typically in the region mexico city population of Quebec, the poutine, which are fries with gravy and cheese (although nowadays there are countless varieties) mexico city population and maple syrup (maple syrup ), which is placed on top of pancakes. But the city of Toronto, which is a few kilometers from the American border and is heavily influenced by American mexico city population culture, has also been affected by its culinary culture: the fast food.
Canada is the sixth country with the highest rate of obesity, with 24.2% of the population, although still quite far from the first ranking, Mexico, with 32.8%. And no wonder. The first thing you see when you walk to anywhere in Toronto are people with drinks in hand. Everyone takes a liter of coffee from the Tim Hortons or the Starbucks to smoothies, iced coffee or soda. And at all hours of the day. Shopping centers, malls and the underground city have designated places called food courts, mexico city population groups of fast food restaurants where there is a common area with tables and chairs to eat there. Around 12 pm that looks Las Ramblas. Tails, and even a fuss place to sit. Surprising to see men and women in business 21 buttons $ 5 eating a hamburger in a tupperware polystyrene or queuing mexico city population to buy a varied menu of food that is touted as the Mediterranean but that has nothing to Mediterranean. Nothing glamorous. His stay in the food court is very short; half an hour and return to work. This is Canadian culture: fast food and little dinner and plenty to 7 pm. However, the drinks are recurring at any time of day to go drowning worm.
1) The food is expensive. Not having much experience in supermarkets, but without a doubt the best No Frills supermarket is the Mercadona Canadian chain with a label. Meat and fish are expensive, brands mexico city population are generally expensive and fruit and vegetables, contrary to what he believed, are good and not too expensive. We always have to take the weekends, when they want.
2) Do not believe in fast food chains "Mediterranian food". We think that putting a bit of rice, four lettuce leaves and a piece of chicken are already tasting typical Mediterranean cuisine. In addition, the accompanying salad ever oil, always adorned with sauces. Still have much to learn ...! Also when you say that you suspect is not "hot". Usually it is a lot. Find out the spaghetti peppers can be a rather unpleasant experience.
3) The typical fast food. There are so used must not be relieved. As the United States burgers "are the cornerstone of all nutritious breakfast." Are ubiquitous. In the infinite range of burgers market in Canada include The Burger's Priest, a hamburger chain Catholic. Yes, as you hear. Local adorned with Biblical phrases and a menu that includes characteristics such as obese Vatican City and The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse.
4) Tim Hortons mexico city population is a coffee company is also one of national pride Canadians. It has more than 3,000 local across Canada, surpassing franchises such as the McDonalds. His specialty coffees and donuts are, and their prices are more than competitive. There are always queues, even though you are a store in virtually every corner. A successful summer and winter ice coffees hot chocolate. Personally I vitiated the timbits (a kind of donuts icings) and cinnamon melt (about cinnamon glazed donuts). Delicious.
5) Trends in overweight. Being a multicultural society so you can see certain propensities. Are whites and blacks who tend to be more overweight, however, have few Asians or Indians. This is due to its culinary culture of origin.
6) Whims impossible. Forget croquettes, sausage and artichokes (I have not seen anywhere). Something very surprising is that the cheese is sold in gold (not supposed to be so great a country must have cattle?).
8) restaurants. Water is free and you were filling in the (very good news for a Catalan!). However, in Canada mexico city population theme tips ... in theory is not required to pay it, but is understood to leave 15%. In most ll
