Do Canadians do a turkey christmas dinner? I'm fascinated not only by the American switch to having it on Thanksgiving instead, but also the dumping of roast potatoes in favour of mashed potatoes. I think it's related to the size of the turkey in America.
Canadians can eat turkey at both Christmas and Thanksgiving (second Monday in October BTW). Neither is a "must-have" though. Some people have ham at these holidays instead and in French Canadian families the traditional Christmas food is a kind of meat pie known as ''tourtière".
When do you eat Bean over there then, for dinner with BBQ Ribs n stuff??
Yes, baked beans would be part of dinner.
Funny how breakfast choices in various countries are really so limited and formalized.
Someone from the UK once told me that it was strange to have "sweet" and "savory" together. So a common American breakfast of pancakes with maple syrup and bacon would never be seen in the UK because you wouldn't put sweet syrup and savory bacon on the same plate. Is this true? (Actually, I think bacon tastes great with a little touch of maple syrup...)

"Traditional breakfast" when I was growing up consisted of two or three eggs, many slices of bacon, breakfast sausage, hash browns, and either several pancakes topped with butter and syrup OR several pieces of french toast topped with cinnamon, butter, syrup, and brown sugar. Estimated calorie load, 1500+. Lucky thing my mom only made it like once a month...
