Understand

"Centre-du-Quebec," a term steeped in historical significance, literally translates to "Centre of Quebec." Although its geographical accuracy has diminished since 1912, when a significant portion of northern territory was incorporated into the Province of Quebec, the designation of "Centre-du-Quebec" still holds sway due to the concentration of Quebec's population residing in the southernmost regions, adjacent to the St. Lawrence River. In contrast, much of Quebec's expansive northern territory remains largely inaccessible. Hence, for practical purposes, "Centre-du-Quebec" remains the focal point and central hub for the majority of the province's residents.

Popular Foods

Poutine is a Canadian comfort food consisting of French fries topped with cheese curds and a generous amount of gravy. This dish originates from the province of Quebec but is now widely enjoyed across Canada. It's typically a non-spicy, warm, and filling meal.

Smoked salmon is a popular food item in Canada, particularly in British Columbia where the Pacific salmon is abundant. The salmon is cured with salt and sugar, then cold-smoked over wood chips to enhance its flavor. It's often served as an appetizer, accompanied by cream cheese, bagels, or crackers. The dish offers a mixture of savory and slightly smoky taste, making it a refreshing choice.

Butter tarts are a sweet and flaky dessert native to Canada, particularly popular in the prairie provinces. A butter tart consists of a pastry shell filled with a mixture of butter, sugar, and syrup, often with added raisins or pecans. These bite-sized treats offer a perfect balance of sweetness and richness, making them a beloved Canadian treat.
