Poutine is probably best known as the quintessential Canadian dish of French fries topped with brown gravy and cheese curd. The dish is so popular that it's regularly available at Wendy's and KFC restaurants in the country (and have been offered at McDonald's and Burger King in the past).

Nestle Pom Pom Marshamallow Cakes feature a small ball of marshmallow covered with dried coconut flakes and set on a thin chocolaty disc.
