In the world of food blogging, Canada Day is one particular celebration that’s almost completely void of food that mimics the colours and/or patriotic symbolism of this beautiful country. For the past few years, I have been trying to post red and white recipes in hopes that anyone celebrating Canada Day with friends and family, will have lots of red and white food options. So, I’m presenting to you today, my collection of tried and tested 20 Red and White Canada Day Recipes!

Why do you think Canadians don’t have as much hype about our nation’s holiday? The United States celebrates so much more than we do. Are Canadians just not as patriotic as Americans? Using the word patriotic to describe Canada is not something I feel comfortable doing. It’s not that Canucks aren’t proud people; I think it’s the fact that Canadians are modest and humble. Of course, I’m not stating that in contrast, Americans aren’t those things as well. But, it seems that America loves a good excuse to host a party! You must admit, my Dear American Reader, the Fourth of July is a huge deal for most of you.

THE CELEBRATION IS JUST DIFFERENT THAT’S ALL!

Americans tend to celebrate Independence Day with fireworks. They have parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies. In addition, events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States take place on July 4th as well.

In contrast, Canadians usually celebrate Canada Day with fireworks and live music. Large outdoor concerts featuring some of Canada’s best musicians and singers are a very common attraction. In smaller towns, there might be a parade or a community volunteer-based pancake breakfast. It is surely not on a large scale like it is for our neighbours to the south. But, let’s change that, starting with some really delicious food!
