History, tradition and origin

Pancakes are among the oldest cooked foods, made wherever there was flour and a hot stone. The thick, fluffy North American kind depends on baking powder, introduced in the 1800s. Waffles with deep pockets are a Belgian speciality made popular abroad at world fairs. Soaking stale bread in egg and milk before frying is recorded since Roman times.

Food economy and industry

Maple syrup is boiled down from the sap of maple trees in late winter; it takes about forty litres of sap to make one litre of syrup. Quebec produces around seventy percent of the world supply and holds a strategic reserve to steady prices. Breakfast and brunch are among the most profitable meals for restaurants.
