Feel like 'taffy' or 'pulled taffy' or some variation should be accepted, not sure what exactly I tried but didn't work.

Also have never heard of a flapper pie, not a Toronto thing it seems!

Thanks. I thought about just accepting "taffy", but the clue kind of begs for maple. But I'll consider it. I appreciate your feedback.

I think just "kraft" should be accepted.

Thanks. I'll do it. Though I've never heard of anyone in Canada who calls it that. It's either "Kraft Dinner" or if shortened, "KD", which is acceptable.

Based on the low percentages, I assume most of the quiztakers aren't Canadian!

Tiger Tail ice cream and Ginger Beef are common where I grew up, but admittedly I never heard of flapper pies in Alberta. Bannock is quite good too with some butter and jam.

I heard in some parts of Britain, London fog is sold under the name 'Vancouver fog', which is where it was originally invented. I found that quite interesting :)

If you ever decided to do a sequel, some fun food items could include Nanaimo bars (I managed to find deep-fried ones in Nanaimo, served fresh with ice cream on top), donair, tourtière, Montreal-style smoked meat and pemmican.

I have only lived in Alberta, but maybe I've only heard of Flapper Pie because an Edmontonian wrote a cookbook with that in the title.

That's cool about the London Fog in the UK. Thanks for sharing.

And thanks for taking my quiz.
