Not only is Thanksgiving celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada, a month and a half earlier than in the United States, but you’ll also find some unique food items on Canadians’ tables. Here are some of the more surprising ones!

Canadian Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is a dessert served in both the United States and Canada on Thanksgiving, but the north-of-the-border version is quite a bit different. While American pumpkin pie is mostly sugar and pumpkin baked into a crust, the Canadian version is toned-down, focusing much more on spice flavors such as ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.

Rice Dressing

Dressing (or stuffing) is served as a traditional accompaniment to turkey both in the US and in Canada, with the American version typically being made with a base of bread crumbs. However, finding rice-based dressing containing similar ingredients like vegetables is quite popular in Canada.

Potato Gratin

Both Americans and Canadians love to eat potatoes on Thanksgiving, but the Canadian version differs from the typical US dish of mashed potatoes. You’re more likely to find a potato gratin—a baked dish containing sliced potatoes and loads of cheese melted on top—on a Canadian table.

Brach’s, an American candy company, is taking their holiday hype to a whole new level this year after introducing a candy that will leave no one indifferent.

Brach’s newest product, their “Turkey Dinner Candy”, is a candy that attempts to join all of the top Thanksgiving flavors into a medley of candies which have some good-sounding and some…questionable-sounding members.

For instance, cranberry sauce and sweet potato pie could be really delicious in candy form. These two sweet Thanksgiving treats seem like normal and logical choices to make candy.

Would you feel the same way, however, about roasted turkey, green bean, and stuffing-flavored candies?

All of these choices are included in this bizarre Thanksgiving medley which is being sold at Walgreen’s drug stores all over the United States.

So, what do you think? Would you be brave enough to give this strange new candy a try?
