## Key points

- Ketchup crisps are mainstream in Canada.
- All-dressed has few equivalents abroad.
- Chocolate recipes vary between the three countries.

## Summary

The article argues that Canada’s snacks have developed a distinct identity, blending American mass-market influences with British-influenced tastes. It highlights differences in crisps, chocolate and coffee, and explains why some Canadian products are sought out abroad.

Ketchup crisps are described as a Canadian staple, while all-dressed has no close equivalent in the US or UK; British shelves favour flavours such as prawn cocktail, and US options often include barbecue. The article attributes differences in chocolate to local standards and ingredients, saying Canadian milk chocolate can taste creamier and less sweet, and begins to contrast Canada’s coffee scene with the US’s major-chain focus.
