Tim Hortons & Possibly My Last Post

     This is possibly my last post because it's my last week here! There are many foods that are interesting to talk about when it comes to Tim Hortons because it's like the Starbucks from Canada. It's very popular and I believe that there is a Tim Hortons in every corner here haha
     Basically it offers coffee, sandwiches and donuts. There are more things, but now I'll talk about my favourite ones. However, before I'd like to show a video of the influence of Tim Hortons in Canada.



Now, those are my favourite things:


This is the Frech Vanilla. You can choose the size of it, which there are the small size, medium and big.

This is the Boston Cream. It's a delicious donut.


I believe this is the most ordered one, this is called Double Double and you also can choose which size you want, obviously.


Of course there are plenty more, but I'd like to you to search for the menu and comment what do you think about them! Thanks for reading.

Canada's and Brazil's Food Comparison

      Hi! It has been a while since I've posted something! It is now close to the end of my trip to Toronto, BUT I can still talk about a few stuff ;). So, today, as you may have seen in the title, I'm gonna compare the food in Canada with the food in Brazil.
      I have been to the USA a couple times and I can say that food in North America is usually fast food. Sorry. Of course there are many restaurants with healthy food, but, for me, it's too expensive. In Canada I can see that people choose more healthier foods than the USA, but still a lot of people tend to go for fast food because they're late for work or whatever. Or probably because it's cheaper. Also, I'd like to add that a lot of people in Canada go to the gym and I see that they're pretty healthy, so basically what I'm talking about is the unhealthy population that is present all around the world.
      I just wanted to say a few things about the people here before starting comparing stuff. Alright, enough prep talk and let's talk about the main topic. Probably I shouldn't take sides but since it's my country we're talking about I'm gonna lean for my country's side for this topic haha. Of course, I prefer my country's food because I'm used to it. Here in Toronto, Canada, there are ALL kinds of restaurants such as a brazilian restaurant, chinese, indian, japanese and so on. So, to talk about typical Canadian food we'd be in trouble because it's all mixed up!

For example, this image above is the Las Vegas Roll in a japanese restaurant called Spring Sushi, here in Toronto.



Now, I want to say that it is amazing, but we also have something similar because we also have japanese restaurants!

This is called Carioca.






This is a delicious Canadian lunch




And this is a delicious Brazilian lunch.




We also have plenty of unique food such as Coxinha, Brigadeiro Tapioca, and so on. I'll talk about these three.


This is Coxinha. It has many flavours that you can choose, but the common one is chicken.

This is Brigadeiro. It's chocolate, obviously, and it's usually served in ceremonies such as a birthday party.

And last but not least, this is Tapioca. I think that to talk about this one is very important because it's an unique meal of my region, the northeast of Brazil. It comes from the natives that were in our country before we invaded lol. It's made of manioc and you can add anything you want inside it, such as cheese, ham, bacon or whatever, go ahead!


Thanks for reading, see you in the next post!

Introduction and Poutine

Hello. This is my first post on my blog and here I intend to show you the different kinds of food in Canada. I'm currently staying in Toronto and I arrived here on April 30th. I'm leaving on June 25th, so expect much things until then!
Firstly, I'd like to tell you about Poutine. Poutine is a typical canadian side dish, which contains mostly french fries with barbecue sauce and cheese. I believe that every restaurant has it in their menu because it tastes very good! If you ever go to Canada you must try this, otherwise, it would be a lost trip.
That was my first post. Thank you for reading and expect more information about food here soon!
