The history of Canada and New England is deeply connected to European colonization. Before the arrival of the colonizers, the indigenous peoples had inhabited these lands for thousands of years. In the 17th century, the French founded Quebec, and the British established the Thirteen Colonies in New England. The tensions between both empires led to conflicts such as the French and Indian War, which resulted in British dominance over Canada. In the 18th century, New England played a key role in the American Revolution, while Canada remained loyal to the British Crown. Both regions have a rich and diverse history, marked by the coexistence of indigenous, British, and French cultures.

The food in Canada and New England reflects a fusion of indigenous, French, British, and more recent influences.

In Canada, the poutine, un plato de papas fritas con queso y salsa, es icónico, mientras que la costa atlántica es famosa por sus mariscos, como las langostas y las vieiras. En Quebec, los sabores franceses destacan en platos como la tourtière (pastel de carne).

In New England, seafood is the star, especially the clam chowder (sopa de almejas) y las ostras frescas.
