29 Answers I live in a northern area of Canada, and we eat a lot of bannock and love it. However, whenever I mention bannock to people in other areas, unless they're originally from around here, they don't seem to know what it is! So I guess I'm just wondering, as a fun question, if bannock is eaten anywhere else besides Canada / northern Canada. Thread Summary |

| | | Oh that's interesting... Actually this bannock that I'm talking about is also a kind of bread, but it's a traditional food of the aboriginal people here (Cree and Dene). It would be interesting to find out though, if they originally got it from the Scots, haha! http://www.twobay.com/bannock.htm | | |  | Ultra Member | |

| | | Hey nwsflash you're right! I found this at a site about bannock:
"Britons have baked bannock at least since the time of the Druids (who avoided bad luck by never kneading the dough ounterclockwise). Brought to North America by early settlers, it soon became a staple for First Nations peoples across the continent. And everyone makes it with what they have at hand; ingredients include cornmeal, flour, rolled oats and wheat bran, lard or shortening, eggs, blueberries, molasses or sunflowers." From Canadian Living
Cool, I learned something new about bannock, haha! I'll have to visit Scotland and see if they make it the same way! | | |  | Senior Member | |

| | | Pretty close to that, yeah! Although it can vary in shape.
Mmmmm... Bannock. Maybe I am part Scottish, since I love it so much. How cool is that?
So do Scots also eat Elk and Moose sausage? | | |  | Senior Member | |

You would be more than welcome in Scotland any time, you just may find it hard to understand what is being said depends on which part you visit...But I noticed that some people in Canada speak like there Irish or Scot, and some near USA speak Yankie. | | |  | Ultra Member | |

| | | I'm between Vancouver and Halifax ... Although much closer to Vancouver. I'm in northern Saskatchewan, about a days' drive from Calgary, Alberta. I don't think people here talk like brits OR yanks, haha. We talk like we're from Saskatchewan, LOL. I guess there is a definite accent, so I'm told, but it's hard to describe. A bit like the stereotypical "Canadian, eh?" accent, but not exactly. If you'd ever seen the comedy show Corner Gas (filmed in Saskatchewan!) you'd know, but I think it's only shown in Canada. | | | |
