There is some usa or canadian receipt very traditional?
since both countries have had heavy immigration from around the globe over many decades, the cuisine of the country is very mixed... like Italy, there is regional variation too in what people tend to eat
I live in Newfoundland, Canada. The traditional cuisine is based on cod, salted cod, salt beef, salt pork, pork back fat, yellow split peas, potato, hard bread, molasses, green cabbage, turnip, and carrot... it's mostly very beige and very salty... some of it not very good at all.
I am a fan of fish cakes though:

EDITED TO ADD: also, wild game meat is fairly common in Newfoundland... mostly moose and snowshoe hare, but also caribou, bear, ptarmigan, grouse, duck, goose, seal
