2. Bannock
The origin of bannock is hard to puzzle out, but it has been made clear recently that Europeans were not the first to bring bread to Canada. The First Nations people of Canada were making bannock out of plant flours long before settlers arrived from Europe. Although they didn’t use wheat flour, their closely guarded recipes were often said to contain cattail pollen or lichen.
Now, most modern bannock is a hybrid of the First Nations version and the waybread eaten by European explorers. It’s often eaten with honey, lard, or jam.
