@sergeantcat @trinsec @freemo this one is just cider.

Somehow in Quebec people from outside Quebec can’t call what they do cider. Cider has to be made by Apples grown in Quebec somehow.

But it’s true that Quebec has a distinct cuisine from Canada, although English Canada just copy our cuisine, such as poutine, tourtière (not the same as meat pie), unemployment pudding, and we take some of them, Nanaimo’s etc.

In fact it’s a whole different culture and society from the rest of Canada. Native French Canadians come from the French colonizers of New France who mixed with Native Americans and Irish and other immigrants later. They speak French and are Catholics (many do not practise and there is a societal trauma around religion)

English Canadians come from US loyalists who left the USA after the Declaration of Independence. The speak English and are mainly Protestants
, anglicans and other Christian religions.

Quebec is also more left wing economically (this is how federal liberals win, more nationalist, and about as much socially progressive as English Canadians.

Quebec also have English Canadians in Montreal (west island) , and English Canada has francophones in it as well (northern Ontario and Manitoba). New Brunswick is bilingual. And of course native Americans.
