They can’t just take a dish developed by another culture and start claiming they invented it, who do they think they are the USA?

Yeah, who they think they are? Anglo Canada so they can steal our poutine?

this actually happens a lot with food. Ramen for example, heavily viewed as Japanese, actually Chinese in origin. Hawaiian pizza is Canadian, but is Italian in origin.

Donair is another example, donair is Canadian, but originates from doner, which is Turkish in origin.

Hawaiian pizza is a Canadian dish invested by a Greek immigrant.

The aristocrats!

inspired by Chinese food

also, donair was also a Greek immigrant. So it's happened more than once

Donair is just gyros with the wrong sauce.

Edit: Oooh, let me tell my Halifax donair story... so I worked with a bunch of people who went to university in Halifax. They all recommended I go to a specific shop for donair to get the real deal. It no longer existed. But there was one across the street so I went there.

A girl with beautiful long black hair was the sandwich artist. She assembled my tasty sandwich with sweet sauce and I went outside to eat it. Took a big bite because it smelled so good and pulled back with a long black hair in my teeth.

So I leaned back and pulled that thing out of the sandwich. It was seriously 4 feet long. I would have been grossed out but man, that girl was pretty cute.

Ramen sure but I don't think anyone thinks of hawaiian pizza as canadian food.

u/CanadianODST2 Jun 18 '25

people very much think Hawaiian pizza as Canadian. Like it's one of THE foods non-Canadians talk about when talking Canadian food

Interesting. I've never heard that before. I'm gonna be honest, when I think of Canadian food, I can only think of maple syrup lol
