Bannock

If you need a fast snack while sightseeing, bannock is great as a quick grab-and-go snack that is filling and authentically Canadian. Bannock is a flatbread with a variety of shapes, forms, and toppings. The dish is also known as fry bread in other parts of the world.

Despite its Scottish origins, unleavened bread was widely embraced by the indigenous peoples of Canada. Bannock has regained prominence in the Canadian food market in recent years, which is great news for carbohydrate lovers everywhere.

Bannock is a simple bread that was once a mainstay in the diets of Canada's Aboriginal people. It is delicious and adaptable. Baked (heavy/dense) and fried variants of bannock are popular modern variations (which are crispy and fluffy on the inside). Bannock has grown in popularity in recent years, with new twists and versions sprouting up in bakeries and cafes across the country — you must try it!
