• Budget Cuisine In Montreal, Canada

  
  From Guest Blogger: Art Of Backpacking
  

  Part of being a backpacker is enjoying whats there in a country. Often, its difficult to be a full blown tourist when you’re trying to stay low budget. But sometimes, local delicacies can be the right price.

  Recently, we made a trip to Montréal, Canada- which was amazing! We vowed to try a lot of the cultural foods Canadians had to offer without breaking our budget. Here are the local foods you can’t miss in Montréal!
  

  
  

  1. Poutine- Pou-what did you say? Poutine was probably the most interesting delicacy we had in Montréal. Poutine is French fries topped with fresh cheese curds, covered with brown gravy. We compared this dish with what us New Jersey natives call “Disco Fries” which is the same recipe as Poutine, but with mozzarella cheese. (Perhaps because there are so many Italians in New Jersey!)
  We shared a large order of this delicious treat and were very full! For $6.00 Canadian dollars, it came out to $3.00 each of us to keep us full for lunch!
  

  
  

  2. Smoked Meat- Is definitely just as well known as Poutine. We were told Schwartz’s was number one for smoked meat in Montréal. Unfortunately, we didn’t get there, but luckily, found smoked meat everywhere. At the Casino of Montréal, we enjoyed a delicious smoked meat sandwich that consisted of the meat on rye bread. I was only able to eat half. A platter of a large smoked meat sandwich, poutine fries and a beer cost $11.00 Canadian dollars.
