Hockey food in Canada
Photography by Edward Pond.
Canadians love hockey, and hockey fans love to eat at the rink and in front of the TV. Especially for these fans across Canada, The Canadian Living Test Kitchen put its hockey and cooking passions together to create a whole buffet of gametime snacks, some classic, some new. So sit back and enjoy the game with these better-than-bar-food snacks in your own home.
Quick snack ideas
Why watch the game eating just chips and dip when these snack ideas are easy to make and so much more tasty.
• Pesto Mushroom Caps: Brush mushroom caps with extra-virgin olive oil; fill with Cheddar cheese and a dab of pesto or tapenade. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until cheese is melted, 10 minutes.

• Tomato and Feta Bites: Skewer halved cherry tomatoes and cubes of feta, Gouda, Havarti or mozzarella cheese on large toothpicks.
• BLT Baguette: Toast slices of baguette (French stick); brush lightly with light mayonnaise. Top with lettuce, chopped tomatoes and sprinkle of bacon bits.
• Crackers and Cheese: Spread crackers with creamy goat cheese; top with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and minced fresh rosemary or parsley.
