We’re a small country, but our triumphs are many.  And often freakin’ delicious!  Take the butter tart for example.  Sorry Naniamo bar, but there’s a growing consensus that the humble butter tart just may be the quintessential Canadian treat.  To that end, suddenly butter tart festivals have sprung up all over the country:  quite simply another great reason to live here.  Ever wonder how the butter tart came to be?  Chatelaine magazine has the sweet details, along with recipes and a sure-fire strategy to win that butter tart festival that’s coming to your town!                                       Photo credit: Fernando Morales/The Globe and Mail.
