Dessert And Soup: Two Foods In Canada That Proved To Be A Delight For Immigrants

Dessert and soup are two foods that are not given that much attention by people because they are not really that basic. People would rather focus and give attention to full meals or meals that would make them feel really satiated and satisfied and we really cannot blame them for that. It is just about being practical in a way. However, for new immigrants in Canada, there are two foods that can quite fetch a good amount of attention without them being a full meal.

 

These two foods are a dessert and a soup. They are amazing in themselves and are a real treat. They may not really be a full meal but it is worth every cent that one pays for them. Yes, they are really delicious and can also be quite an experience. Immigrants who have tried these two out are more than happy to suggest it to other people and to recommend it to those who have not tried them out yet. These two foods are the Nanaimo bars and the split pea soup.

 

What are Nanaimo bars?

 

Nanaimo bars are actually dessert bars and they are rich and comes with three layers – crumb mixture, butter icing that is vanilla-flavored, and some luscious melted chocolate. This is a delicious treat for many immigrants who are in Canada and is quite a favorite among locals.

 

The origins of this sweet food have yet to be confirmed though. One of the oldest recipes that were found was published in 1952 for what was called “chocolate squares” which was part of a book that had the title “The Ladies Auxiliary to the Nanaimo General Hospital”. Then in 1953, a cookbook then had the very first recipe that used “Nanaimo bars” for the treat.

 

It is interesting to note though that in 1985, Nanaimo’s mayor actually wanted to find the best recipe for the Nanaimo bar that really defined what it was. Thus, a competition was held and it was a woman named Joyce Hardcastle who won and her Nanaimo bar recipe is published on the website of this city.

 

Split pea soup

 

Split pea soup is a classic food that is quite well known to be from French-Canada. The very first versions of this used meats that have been cured as well as dried pea since the people who first made this soup were French explorers who found their way to Canada. They also added some vegetables that they grew and harvested from the land that they have settled in. The soup that they made has become a favorite and a classic that it is still being enjoyed a lot these days. Locals also say that this is not just a staple in the country but a tradition as well.
