Native Indian / Aboriginal food in Canada

Native Aboriginal food is usually based on deer (venison), buffalo and pheasant. These are all very healthy meats and worth trying when the opportunity arises.

Buffalo meat appears on a few menus across the country, especially in the prairie provinces and is recommended as a lean and tasty alternative to beef.

Rice dishes based on wild rice with black husks are often served alongside a traditional native meal. The rice is grown and hand-picked in Ontario and Manitoba.
