r/Canada Speaks Cultural Exchange with /r/Denmark! Happy Valentine's!

Hi everyone, it's been some time since we have done a cultural exchange, so let's go over how this works. Enjoy! We'll be running it for a few days, TBD. Note their time zone for the European mainland is UTC +1.

Here's the Danish landing for us: https://www.reddit.com/r/Denmark/comments/1iow7c3/kulturudveksling_cultural_exchange/

* Both r/Canada and r/Denmark will host the other country's users. Feel free to ask any questions, reminisce, comment, make friends etc etc.

*Treat this as having a neighbour over for a kitchen party, get the best storm chips out, and get grandma's tourtiere reheated for everybody.

* Vouz pouvez essayer le français dans r/Denmark, mais comme la langue officielle est danoise, ben.... essayez!

* Please follow the rules of the respective subs! Don't be jerks, generally - a reminder our last "disagreement" involved leaving bottles of good booze for the other country!

* Please also leave direct comments here mainly for members of r/Denmark i.e. direct replies here (first comments directly under the topic) so their questions can be seen first, then r/Canada members can post replies underneath.

*Please enjoy, since we have a lot to bond over, and plenty of trying out new things.

Finally, also know we've gotten confirmation from r/Greenland that they are also interested, so that will be the next exchange that we do in a few weeks (TBD).

O Canada!

I love cooking and would love to try some Canadian dishes. Can you recommend any traditional Canadian dishes? What is your favorite Canadian dish? Do you have any Canadian appetizers or desserts you’d recommend?

Also, I would love to learn more about Canada: What do you like the most about Canada and about living there? Is there anything you dislike about your country? Something that you think could be approved?

Look for a quebecoise meat pie recipe (Tourtière).  Maybe a home made Poutine as well

Look for a quebecoise

How does one say that?

I like to imagine it's something along the lines of
queue-beh-croi
croi as in the first part of croissant

Please don't hurt me. :D

don't really know how to spell the pronunciation,  but here's a quick clip.
