Day 28


Canada and its culture and traditions.

An essential part of the national lore is cottage culture. Crackling campfires, picturesque sunsets and afternoons full of boat rides and water sports help to understand the significance of spending the weekend in a cabin in the woods. There are hamburgers and milkshakes when spending all day on a lakeside dock listening to music with friends that live around you.
Google “Muskoka chairs/sunsets” to get the vibe.
Even regional words for cottages do exist: in British Columbia, you’ll encounter a cabin, French Quebec welcomes you at chalets, English Quebec will have a lake house, parts of Manitoba and North Canada call the log houses camps.

The other funny thing I am going to tell you about is a snack called “Beaver tails”. Do not be alarmed — Canadians do not eat tails of actual beavers. In Canada, beaver tails are giant, deep-fried sweet delicacies. A ball of dough is stretched into a long, flat oval, fried in oil and served in a paper sleeve. If you are a purist, you stick to a mix of sugar and cinnamon to be sprinkled on top, but there are other options like maple cream, cookies or chocolate spread. It makes for an especially brilliant snack when you have spent the evening on a skating rink or pond during the cold season. Yummy-yummy.
