Canadian foodie expression as per the Canadian Oxford

Canadian expressions:

>We all use Canadian English every day: when we order a pizza "all-dressed", hope to get a "seat sale" to >go south during "March break", or "book off" work to meet with a "CGA" to discuss "RRSPs".
>[...]
>Whether you call your favourite doughnut a jambuster, a bismarck, a Burlington bun, or the more prosaic >jelly doughnut may depend on where you live in Canada, but they will all be found in The Canadian Oxford >Dictionary.
