ditto with Toronto. Greek here is second nature. But you can't pass through our city without trying some peameal bacon on a bun at the St Lawrence Market. I recognize that Montreal has us beat, hands down, when it comes to smoked meat (heck they have all of the US beat hands down!) but our peameal bacon on a bun is to die for.

Both Ontario and Quebec have a very serious and varied cheese industry. If your aim is to increase your body mass on your trip, then you must try our most excellent cheddars (Cookes Very Old white Cheddar at Cookes Fine Foods in Kingston) and the Oka cheese from, well, Oka in Quebec. Go to any city market (like the St Lawrence in Toronto) and you will find hundreds of cheeses to add to your waistline.

Wine is important here too, as the Niagara region has its own micro climate and produces reds & whites that are medal winners. It also has a consistant (unlike Germany) ice wine industry that is the best in the world. - if youlike that sweet stuff. Nothing goes better together than wine & cheese eh????

Fruit wines are produced all the way through from Ontario's kawartha's to Nova Scotia's Lunenburg winery. Strawberry, blueberry, peach, pear.

As you swing through the eastern part of the country and reach the Maritimes, you will find that sea food abounds. Lobster is the king. Lobster rolls, lobster bisque, lobster, lobster , lobster. Too bad I don't like it so much but at least there are options. mussels by the roadside. $5 for a huge bowl full. exquisite. fried clams. periwinkles. scallops. Everything battered and fried that you can imagine. get out the Ketchup & mayo.

Local dishes are worth investigating, but there is a huge international fusion going on too, as grolsch indicated. Not just in TO & MTL, but in Halifax & Saint John too.

If you do happen to make it out here, be sure that a Toronto TFP meet can be set up!
