Leclerc was founded in the early 1900 in Quebec City, hence the Château Frontenac on the cookies! It's currently run by Fairmont, so you can sleep there if you want :)
Laura SecoRd was a Canadian heroine of the War of 1812. She is known for having walked 20 miles (32 km) out of American-occupied territory in 1813 to warn British forces of an impending American attack
The building is called Chateau frontenac in Quebec! Its kind of a symbol in quebec , people visit it and can stay in it. Its a castle! (it has never been confirmed officially but the majority assumes it is)
Emmy, you're so amazing. You don't need music to make your videos enjoyable. In your videos you look so calm, unlike most other youtubers who scream all the time.
The Castle on the cookie is surely Le Chateau Frontenac. it is located in Québec City which I live in, which i see everyday. The Leclerc factory is located suburban to Québec City. It never was a castle (as in royalty lived there or anything) it was built in 1892 as an attraction by a railroad company that wanted to put interesting and good looking landmarks and hotel along its line. but with time le chateau kinds of became a real landmark. It is built atop le cap-diamant which ovewatching the first settlement of Québec city (before Champlain declared it a city in 1608). And Archaeologists have discovered fundation to that first settlement beneath the Château's plaza (terrasse Dufferin). They make great french cuisine there, and it sure is the best looking hotel in the entire city. Granted you have a view on the Saint-Lawrence River when it narrows (Quebec is Native for «where the water's narrowing»), the south shore, and the oldest part of town. You also sleep next to the field of Abraham, where's the decisive battle between France and the British held place in 1759 and the artillerie which is legit france stuff (the Château's not, sorry). Though to its credit the conference that ended world war II was held there. I think it's not mentionned in Leclerc's website because of copyright issues (that's my guess). Anyway sorry for the long message, hoped that helped somehow, TL;DR: it's Le Château Frontenac.
I don't know where the lady that sent these is from but there are things in there I'd never seen before like Big Turk chocolate bars and her butter and cream fudge is not fudge at all but Sucre à la crème. No wonder she almost fell to the floor while eating it. I haven't seen Mackintosh's Toffee in a long time, don't know if it's sold here in Quebec anymore. Too bad we can't send her cretons, tourtière, and cipate.
I love watching her videos, especially because she doesn't over exaggerate for the camera. She is subtle with everything and that makes her videos so enjoyable.0
Canada is such a big country! In B.C., maples don't produce much sap because it doesn't get cold enough here, so all our maple syrup comes from Quebec. I guess the equivalent here would be....candied salmon?
I am Canadian and I haven't even heard of some of these things! Canada is so large that every area seems to have it's different Canadian treats :) haha
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not but it's Laura Secord. Even though I know that I've always read the sign as Laura Second, so it totally makes sense lol. But just thought I'd clear that up. Slightly missing Canadian snacks at the moment lol.
Hello from Canada! Great Video. Please consider the tradition way of opening the MacIntosh candy or firmly smacking it on a flat surface (like a kitchen counter) then you will have lots of small pieces. Consider storing in a ziplock baggy... This candy used to sold in a cardboard box (same size). Biting off hunks is not great for sharing and usually the MacIntosh bar wins in that battle. Fun Video - keep it up eh.
+Paul Clarke I was thinking the same thing!! And I miss the cardboard box! More environmentally friendly too. Remember when Hostess were sold in paper foil bags! LOL
Do you guys remember Vachon pastries (Passion Flakie, Jos. Louis, Ah Caramel!). I was surprised to see them in my local Walmart in Vancouver. Still claim to be made in Quebec.
The very, very best piece of candy in all of Canada has got to be a Mint Smoothie from Reo Thompson in Stratford Ontario. My absolute favourite, and I just know that you would love the minty-chocolatey-scrumptiousness! I must figure out how to send you some!
The fudge is from Laura Secord, not Laura Second, though I can see how to signature can be confusing if you don't know. Laura Secord is honoured as a Canadian heroine of the War or 1812 when she walked for 20 miles to warn British forces about an attack coming from the Americans. The company, Laura Secord Chocolates was founded 100 years later in her honour. Just a little bit of Canadian Heritage to go along with the fudge! Also always proud of another Laura!
I'm Canadian and I've only had Big Turk from all these treats! I think of Coffee Crisp, Ketchup and All Dressed chips, and Smarties (the chocolate ones) when I think of Canadian specific snacks. Maple flavoured stuff tends to be more tourist-y.
I am Canadian and it was delightful to see you review some of our treats, most of those I eat. The celebration cookies are my favourite, particularly the milk chocolate ones! Another great video Emmy! :)
+xxTheCatsMeow Where the heck in Canada do you live?! I've found these in every Province and region I've been in! Most are available at the majority of grocery stores, although something like map-o-spread may not be as common at every single store. These are not all from Quebec.
I'm Canadian, living abroad now, and haven't heard of half of these. Thanks for bringing them to my attention; I'll have to track them down! Appreciate the nostalgia too. I always pronounced it "Seee-cord" not "sek-ord" ... and now I can see how you thought it was a "n" not "r" based on the script.
Macintosh Toffee bars have only recently been reintroduced in Canada after being out of production for decades. I remember eating them in the 80's when I was a kid.
Loved watching you eat Canada again. I have had most of these before, my grandmother loves the chocolate celebration biscuits. I used to live near a maple syrup farm in Ontario but no matter where I have lived in Canada maple syrup has always been pretty expensive. I worry people think Canadians have access to cheap and large amounts of maple syrup, but we don't.
For the MacIntosh , you might want to try doing what we did when we were kids. We would put it in the freezer to really harden up and then smash it inside its package to break it up. Once it was in smaller pieces, it was a lot easier to eat - granted you will still be picking it out of your teeth but it's so much easier to eat.
1am here in Spain..the perfect time for me to just lay here and relax listening to Emmy :D Great video as usual, much apreciated by an insomniac like myself :) Hugs from Spain Emmy! I absolutely adore your channel ;)
Your hair looked extra gorgeous in this vid! Those chocolate biscuits had me drooling 80~ . I usually don't like maple bars, but i could see myself having a couple of those maple sandwich cookies with some coffee since i like it black.
Personally, the best way to eat a Macintosh bar is melted with whipping cream and add corn flakes (three bars, 3tbsp cream, 3c cornflakes). Melt, stir, drop onto wax paper.
What you ate was more about the French-Canadian part of Canada also known as Quebec. The building on the celebration cookie (which is Canadian-French brand) is called the Château Frontenac which is the symbol of Quebec City.
For the Canadians saying they haven't had/heard of these, you cannot possibly be Canadian! Some of these are such basic products found in any grocery store
you're adorable! I love your videos so much, it's so informative and I feel like I'm tasting these foods vicariously through you :) I don't know why you don't have 1 million subscribers
The castle on the ''Petit-Écolier''-styled-cookie is, I think, the Château Frontenac which is a really famous Canadian building in Quebec City, the capital of Quebec. I'm from and live in Montreal, but I went to Quebec several times and by the looks of it I would say it's indeed the Château Frontenac.
That's three videos of Canadian sweets/snacks, but the truely quintessential Canadian snack/junk food is missing from all of them... Hickory Sticks. No man can resist them!
As a Canadian,I swear those cookies just show up at every school event I've ever been at, from PTA meetings, to school dances. Now that I'm grown up, they show up at a lot of community meetings too. Even when I'm preparing for one, I make it a point to never purchase those particular cookies, but they show up anyway.
Hi Emmy! Many canadians seems to have never had any of those treats before. The viewer that sent you qll these goodies must be from Quebec. I'm from Montreal and it was really fun to see you eat all of these specialties from home. :)
he building on the Celebration cookie is The Chateau Frontenac in the Capatal of Quebec. Biscuit Leclerc is a Quebec company. Love those cookies because they are made with 70% cocao chocolate
My mom loved Big Turk and also we have peppermint patties here that you'd love and I"m amazed in all the Canadian videos NO ONE has ever sent you an EAT MORE (yes I mean the caps) chocolate bar it's dark chocolate peanut toffee bar and has cherries in the toffee too it is my favorite chocolate bar and you can only get it in Canada!!!!
Hi there, you tried some of the best of Canadian treats. The MacIntosh bar has been around since at least the 1970s. The province of Nova Scotia that is almost entirely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean has a lot of Scottish family descendents and most of the cultural summer festivals feature Scottish traditions(bagpipes and Highland dances), there are even schools where you can take classes in speaking Gaelic. In fact, Nova Scotia means "New Scotland". You were told the building on the cookie was the Chateau Frontenac. It is in Quebec the French speaking province. It overlooks the huge Fleuve Saint-Laurent(Saint Lawrence River), once a major shipping port. There is a long wide wooden walkway that runs along the river called The Boulevard. The hotel apparently is the most photographed hotel in the world. There is one room in the uppermost floor reserved solely for the Queen of England when she visits. My fave story is, the Titanic was hauling a large shipment of expensive furnishings for the hotel obviously it didn't make it. I think the city of Quebec is most beautiful, it is very European with its cobblestone streets, old ornate churches, small bistros, centuries old stone buildings. You would think you were in a Bavarian village from the middle ages. And, Laura Secord treats are awesome, they are traditionally gifts for your sweetheart on Valentine's Day. :)
Love your videos. There is a cocktail served in a bar in Dawson City Yukon called the Sour Toe Cocktail. An d yes it contains an actual amputated human toe which you are not supposed to consume, but apparently the original toe was swallowed and also some of the replacement toes. Keep up the good work, Emmy.
I would love to send you something from western Canada Emmy, every Canada package you get seems very eastern Canada. Some Saskatoon Berry jam maybe? Some Purdy's Hedgehogs? C'mon Western Canadians we need to send her our love.
Very clearly sent by someone from Quebec! Hehe! Those Celebrâtion "maple" cookies are the WOOOOOORST. They smell of artificial sugar maple and baby tears. My husband bought some once, and I couldn't stand the smell of them stinking up the cupboard.
Iss mot maple sugar trees it's maple birches . They don't produce maple syrup but maple sap. It's collected and boiled and filtered and turned into syrup, sugar and candies. I've even had maple co trim candy before. And the reason everything maple is so sweet is not because there's sugar added it's because maple has its own sweetness to it.
The building on the cookies looks like the Parliament building in Ottawa. My mouth is watering watching you eat the Big Turk, I LOVE those! Also, the fudge is from Laura Secord, not Second :) - Laura See Cord.
***** I was starting to wonder if I was the only person who heard her call Laura Secord, "Laura Second." Most people seem to be commenting about the image on the cookie instead.
Vanessa t Yes, and no. It really means castle or large home. And first, castles were built in the Middle ages, the chateau frontenac was built in the late 1800s. Today, the word "fort" is added after chateau to really clarify if it's a real castle. And in this case, because it's not actually a castle, just a large building, it's translated as "Large french home". Especially since it's not a fortified structure. ie, a real castle.
Not specifically replying to you vanessa... But, was not "le Chateau Frontenac" designed to honor the castles of the French Rennaissence? Specfically of the likes of le chateaux of the Loire valley?
my mom would put maple cookies in my lunch as a kid and i used to get big turk bars from my nana, it was her favourite. Btw Laura Secord is a Canadian Candy company named after an important women in Canadian History :)
Especially in western Canada, there is a heavy British influence, hence the Macintosh toffee. I am from British Columbia on the far west coast and we are part of the British Commonwealth. And the chocolate was Laura Secord. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Secord_Chocolates
Leclerc was founded in the early 1900 in Quebec City, hence the Château Frontenac on the cookies! It's currently run by Fairmont, so you can sleep there if you want :)

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat. That's cool
Biggest hotel ive been too. The halls just never end

Simon Douville omg soooooo long
Slasher ikr... i was probably high on something.

You can find Big Turks and Mac Toffee in Eastern Ontario.
Love the cute birds I always hear in the background of your videos! 😄

Sarah Leonard Isn't it great...lol :)
true!!
Map-0-Spread! That is for hard core maple syrup fans!
quarter inch of butter, quarter inch of peanut butter, and a quarter inch of Map- o spread and you will NEVER eat another sandwich.
jerry leroy That sounds ridiculously disgusting and unhealthy
The celebration cookies are my favourite
The chocolate celebration cookies are perfect for smores
The milk chocolate ones!!
Same here. I love the caramel truffle ones!
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not but it's Laura Secord. Even though I know that I've always read the sign as Laura Second, so it totally makes sense lol. But just thought I'd clear that up. Slightly missing Canadian snacks at the moment lol.

I was thinking the same thing about breaking the toffee. It doesn't work so well now as the toffee is softer than it used to be.
I'm Canadian and there are a few things that you showed that I've never had before.
• Sydney • Oh and also, it's not "Laura Second" it's "Laura Secord" the "r" looks a lot like a "n"
Same
Ive only herd of like 3 of them. Im in Newfoundland canada
• Sydney • Ditto I'm in Ontario, maybe it's a provincial thing?
• Sydney • lol i knew all of them
The building on the Celebration Dark Chocolate cookies looks like the Château Frontenac in Québec City :) such a beautiful city too!!
Those maple cookies are sooooo good!!!!
The very, very best piece of candy in all of Canada has got to be a Mint Smoothie from Reo Thompson in Stratford Ontario.
My absolute favourite, and I just know that you would love the minty-chocolatey-scrumptiousness!
I must figure out how to send you some!
When you ate that maple chocolate bar your eyes practically rolled back into your head...so glad you found something you really like!
am i the only one who loves how she talks?
That maple spread - I forgot all about that!! I haven't had it in yeeeeears! Great on toast.. Mmmmm!

Your Emmy eats series is my favourite! Those maple cookies look so good!
OH MY GOOOOSH! Why didn't I remember these cookies when I went to Canada last summer! I had those the first time I went to Canada. They're so yummy!
Aaaah, nothing like the pink stuff :3
That fudge sounds AMAZING. And the chocolate with the maple sugar. Mmm.
You can tell this is from Quebec, we've tried a lot of these, but they're not so common in the rest of Canada.
xxTheCatsMeow I've lived in 4-5 provinces, but never Quebec and I'm familiar with all for the things that she tried.
Been across Canada, I've seen most of this everywhere, never had the map-o-spread, though.
+xxTheCatsMeow Where the heck in Canada do you live?! I've found these in every Province and region I've been in! Most are available at the majority of grocery stores, although something like map-o-spread may not be as common at every single store. These are not all from Quebec.
You are so great at explaining what everything tastes like! :)

Canada tip! We use those celebration cookies with the chocolate on them for Smores since it's a 2-in-1 package. Just add a marshmallow!
You're very well spoken and great with descriptions. Love it! :)
I love all dressed chips 😍😍😍
Worst flavor ever. It's like they mixed all of their chip flavors together.
YES! When we got those in the States, I had to try them. And now I'm addicted to them.
ahh yay i love when she does Canada beacause im like yesss i can go get that today! lol
looke888 I know! Some of the stuff I've never noticed or tried. I'm definitely gonna get some of those items.
totally!! I dont think ive had that maple sugar on the dark choclate before.. so excited! lol
Macintosh Toffee bars have only recently been reintroduced in Canada after being out of production for decades. I remember eating them in the 80's when I was a kid.
The factory had a fire a while back.
canucktunes I remember eating them when I was in high school in the late 90's
canucktunes I'm surprised she managed to break off a piece, have they made their toffee softer?
TheCanadiangirl4 Yeah, I was surprised as well. I usually freeze it to break it up in pieces.
my parents grow up on these bars so there not new to canada
It's Laura Secord pronounced SEE-CORD.
lol. Non Cdns seem unable to pronounce it correctly.
it always makes me a bit sad that only Canadians know her legacy. I was her for the "famous Canadians" project in elementary.
Oh I would LOVE to try Celebration cookies! I LOVE EVERYTHING maple!
Loved watching you eat Canada again. I have had most of these before, my grandmother loves the chocolate celebration biscuits. I used to live near a maple syrup farm in Ontario but no matter where I have lived in Canada maple syrup has always been pretty expensive.

lol its actually Laura Secord but the fudge looked great
Celebration dark chocolate cookies dipped in your tea is to die for!
I love big Turks lol I've been waiting for another Canadian episode for so long! I'm so happy
I believe the building on the Celebration cookies is Château Frontenac, Quebec City.
I grew up with celebrations(: great with milk!
Your hair looked extra gorgeous in this vid! Those chocolate biscuits had me drooling 80~ . I usually don't like maple bars, but i could see myself having a couple of those maple sandwich cookies with some coffee since i like it black.
Aunt Jemimia is pancake syrup it's only a SMALL percentage maple
Crab apples are amazing especially unripe (if you like bitter things)
Very true, it's more corn syrup than anything, real maple syrup tastes much different. But both are still awesome :P
Kara Argus I miss having crab apples readily available. Ate so many of them as a kid. Love that wonderful, sour flavour.
Kara Argus Yeah, I thought that was a weird comparison too
If you cut the mackintosh then freeze the pieces it isn't sticky at all:) acts like a hard candy! Super yummy
The building is the Château Frontenac in Quebec City. Greetings from Montreal!
Personally, the best way to eat a Macintosh bar is melted with whipping cream and add corn flakes (three bars, 3tbsp cream, 3c cornflakes). Melt, stir, drop onto wax paper.
Emmy, that's Laura Secord, not Laura Second! lol We Canadians love our fudge... It's sold all over the place in Niagara Falls!

A dash of maple syurp in my hot-coco instead of sugar adds some holiday flavor to my favorite beverage!
For the Canadians saying they haven't had/heard of these, you cannot possibly be Canadian! Some of these are such basic products found in any grocery store
you're adorable! I love your videos so much, it's so informative and I feel like I'm tasting these foods vicariously through you :) I don't know why you don't have 1 million subscribers
That was so much fun to watch! Those Le Clerc dark chocolate cookies are staples at our place :-)
You're so lucky you get to try all kind of foods :)
Try eating the map-o spread in top of a peanut butter toast! That's how my husband love it! :)

The building on the celebration cookies is the Frontenac Castle, located in Quebec, Canada. It's the hometown of Celebration cookies :)
I love those celebration cookies with the chocolate! : ) I eat them all the time. They go super well with tea.
These are exactly like the cookies I once got from dollar tree. Maple cookies so yummy!!!
You are correct the jelly part of Turkish delight is flavoured with rose water.
My mom loved Big Turk and also we have peppermint patties here that you'd love and I"m amazed in all the Canadian videos NO ONE has ever sent you an EAT MORE (yes I mean the caps) chocolate bar it's dark chocolate peanut toffee bar and has cherries in the toffee too it is my favorite chocolate bar and you can only get it in Canada!!!!
milk chocolat celebration cookies are awesome and they also make them with caramel between the chocolat and biscuit.
Celebration cookies are my all-time favourite
Hi there, you tried some of the best of Canadian treats. The MacIntosh bar has been around since at least the 1970s. The province of Nova Scotia that is almost entirely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean has a lot of Scottish family descendents and most of the cultural summer festivals feature Scottish traditions(bagpipes and Highland dances), there are even schools where you can take classes in speaking Gaelic. In fact, Nova Scotia means "New Scotland". You were told the building on the cookie was the Chateau Frontenac. It is in Quebec the French speaking province. It overlooks the huge Fleuve Saint-Laurent(Saint Lawrence River), once a major shipping port. There is a long wide wooden walkway that runs along the river called The Boulevard. The hotel apparently is the most photographed hotel in the world. There is one room in the uppermost floor reserved solely for the Queen of England when she visits. My fave story is, the Titanic was hauling a large shipment of expensive furnishings for the hotel obviously it didn't make it. I think the city of Quebec is most beautiful, it is very European with its cobblestone streets, old ornate churches, small bistros, centuries old stone buildings.

d yes it contains an actual amputated human toe which you are not supposed to consume, but apparently the original toe was swallowed and also some of the replacement toes. Keep up the good work, Emmy.
The celebration cookies are great sandwiches with roasted marshmallows and eaten as s'mores!!
Laura Secord also makes the best ice cream ever lol! It's rainbow coloured and it's called superkid! It's amazing!
Just finished watching Cheeky Tam's Canadian taste test :D
Seins H lol! There seems to be a bit of a run of Cdn treats lately. :D I watch her too.
Keep your eye on this with them TH-cam channel, I sent them a huge box, they also have done a few Canadian boxes
I would love to send you something from western Canada Emmy, every Canada package you get seems very eastern Canada. Some Saskatoon Berry jam maybe? Some Purdy's Hedgehogs? C'mon Western Canadians we need to send her our love.
Those maple cookies are amazing
Very clearly sent by someone from
Quebec! Hehe!
Those Celebrâtion "maple" cookies are the WOOOOOORST. They smell of artificial sugar maple and baby tears. My husband bought some once, and I couldn't stand the smell of them stinking up the cupboard.
Iss mot maple sugar trees it's maple birches . They don't produce maple syrup but maple sap. It's collected and boiled and filtered and turned into syrup, sugar and candies. I've even had maple co trim candy before. And the reason everything maple is so sweet is not because there's sugar added it's because maple has its own sweetness to it.
The building on the cookies looks like the Parliament building in Ottawa. My mouth is watering watching you eat the Big Turk, I LOVE those! Also, the fudge is from Laura Secord, not Second :) - Laura See Cord.
The building on the cookies is the Château Frontenac in Quebec City
***** I was starting to wonder if I was the only person who heard her call Laura Secord, "Laura Second." Most people seem to be commenting about the image on the cookie instead.
I love maple cookies! She's so right you can't grow in Canada and never have them!
You put the mapo spread on fried bread dough! Best dessert ever :)
I love those Celebration cookies! So good c:
I've had all of these before. I love the chocolate cookies...actually have some in the house :P
the chocolate celebration cookie is what we leave for Santa in my family.
Maple cookies are so good crushed in milk and eaten with a spoon lol! But eat one at a time so they don't get soggy.
Turkish Delight is _supposed_ to be floral ;-) Turkish Delight is make from rose water.
Canadian friend here, I think the building on the cookies is Chateau Frontenac
Ah nothing like the pink stuff! Haha love your videos!
The building on the cookie is called chateau Frontenac ( famous hotel in Quebec City).
The building is called "le Château Frontenac"(Frontenac castle), situated in Quebec city !
+Vanessa t *cough* it's not a castle *cough*
+iored94 FIY château en français = castle in english. Après, traduit-le comme tu le désires.
Vanessa t Yes, and no. It really means castle or large home. And first, castles were built in the Middle ages, the chateau frontenac was built in the late 1800s. Today, the word "fort" is added after chateau to really clarify if it's a real castle. And in this case, because it's not actually a castle, just a large building, it's translated as "Large french home".
Especially since it's not a fortified structure. ie, a real castle.
Not specifically replying to you vanessa...
But, was not "le Chateau Frontenac" designed to honor the castles of the French Rennaissence?
Specfically of the likes of le chateaux of the Loire valley?
those celebration chocolate cookies are my favourite and I grew up eating them!
Yay! Can't wait to watch this!
Eggs over easy with maple syrup and toast. Yum yum.
The best part is mixing the yolk with the maple syrup.
No the building is the "Château Frontenac" an iconicand historic hotel in the Québec city.
The chocolate celebration are my fav, but milk chocolate ☺️💖
I love Mapo-Spread!! I put it on my toast in the morning.
my mom would put maple cookies in my lunch as a kid and i used to get big turk bars from my nana, it was her favourite. Btw Laura Secord is a Canadian Candy company named after an important women in Canadian History :)
Definitely Quebec inspired Canadian treats. Try the maple spread on pancakes, in my opinion it's the best eaten that way.
Especially in western Canada, there is a heavy British influence, hence the Macintosh toffee. I am from British Columbia on the far west coast and we are part of the British Commonwealth. And the chocolate was Laura Secord. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Secord_Chocolates
