Canadian Food

[Alastair]

I was reading an old recipe book from Canada in which they referenced a few foods which I hadn't known about such as...

Canned Chicken Haddie
Canned Canadian Lobster

Does anyone know where you can get these products?

Re: Canadian Food

This place sells Chicken Haddie online, Alastair (although I remember it as Finnan Haddie, if it's the same thing):

Re: Canadian Food

Thanks John... The recipe came from a book that was promoting Canadian food products to the UK and so they were providing recipes using them.

Re: Canadian Food

I have been wondering why the word 'chicken' has been used.

It seems to be 'small' by comparison with hen being 'large'.

In other words it is still 'fish', as John suggested.

Re: Canadian Food

You're quite right, Ranald - I did some checking and apparently 'chicken' is fisheries terminology for small, or young, fish; there's no actual chicken in Chicken Haddie. Also, the Chicken Haddie is not smoked evidently, the Finnan Haddie my mother used to make used smoked fish, so there is a difference. (We didn't get Haddock where we lived in Otakou, so Mum made hers with Blue Cod instead which a neighbor with a smoke-house used to smoke for us.)

I Posted a link in this weeks newsletter to the Canadian recipe book that contained a description of Chicken Haddie.
