That's the proper French way to pronounce it. The generic English pronunciation is 'poo-TEEN' (with the emphasis on the second syllable).

Then please, by all means tell me how you pronounce all other French cuisine in English...? Oh that's right in their native French name; the "Generic English" pronunciation is wrong; and pronounced incorrectly. Just because anglo-phones pronounce it incorrectly doesn't make it right.

Erm except the word might actually come from Québécois making the word pudding more French - so maybe they are ones that done it wrong. Anyway if we are going to get annoyed about about all the French words pronounced differently in English, you will never get any sleep....

You're the one splitting hairs. I say 'poo-TEEN'. Just about everyone I know says 'poo-TEEN'. Go to Quebec and the French speakers say 'poo-TIN'. Both pronunciations are correct.

Please be careful how you pronounce it. It might sound like you're talking about a current Soviet dictator. (Yeah, I know, there is no more USSR - but don't tell Putin.)

Poutine is actually properly pronounced "Poo-tin"

Just sayin'

And Kuli, Maple Sugar candy definitely originated in Canada, it's not uncommon for the US and Canada to adopt each other's foods, snacks and culinary cuisine.

If you want to be entirely accurate, maple sugar candy originated before there was either a US or a Canada -- white settlers learned it from the natives.

I don't know that they made it in the shape of maple leaves, though.
 
just because the timing on this was good:

i just returned from a vacation, bringing two american buddies to Ottawa and Montreal for the first time. poutine was eaten everywhere - regular diner-plate poutine, to ultra-expensive duck and froi-gras poutine in upscale restaurants. it was a major hit as was all of Canada. yes, it is true that eating such things will be the eventual death of you, but it is worth it.
 
Great. I'm going to waste my afternoon watching all the BuzzFeed now. Thanks! :lol:
 
My Auntie Jean used to whip up the best Saskatoon Berry pies in the praries. Yum!!

If you need some reference material, may I first refer you to the leaf on the flag.

After that I might say "it's a stretch to call the eagle "American." I first saw them...everywhere in Canada." But I might not say that if we've answered this question already by looking at the flag....
 
And if we want to get fussy about the pronunciation, the québécois way to say it would be «pooTseen». They kind of buzz the "T" (or a "D" in similar words.) Drives the Parisians up the wall, but they tend not to cope very well with accents other than their own.

Which has zip to do with candy... especially since it was being made in both what is now the US and Canada before either existed.

Not even relevant. You're trying to claim something comes from Canada, but it also comes from Vermont and elsewhere, with an origin before there was a Vermont or a Canada.
 
Oh dear fucking hell, let the Canadians have their candy. We have Skittles. We win.

A bit of information: The maple leaf (from the sugar maple tree) has been an emblem of Canada since the 1700s. Maple syrup, maple toffee, and maple candy comes from the sugar maple tree. Canada (especially Ontario and Quebec) are the world leaders in maple syrup creation, sales, and exports.

The First Nations people used to boil the maple sap to a specific density. They would then scoop out some of the boiling syrup and pour it onto snow where it would cool into toffee. That's where the early explorers got the idea. Further boiling would reduce the sap to a crystalline state when it could be formed into candy. Since the maple leaf is an emblem of Canada, forming the candy into maple leafs wasn't much of a stretch.

Another little tidbit of info: There are more bald eagles in British Columbia than there are in the continental US.

None of which has anything to do with maple sugar candy being "Canadian". It isn't unique to Canada, and never has been.

BTW Skittles and Starburst were created by British companies and Jelly beans were a well known Turkish delight long before comming to America. We have them here too. But i do agree that maple sugar is a native treat. :) Whaaaat? I'm just sayin...
