I am a former chef and worked in Montreal, you forgot the pigs feet with the meatballs, When I go to Montreal,I am always in a LaFleur hot dog shop and have a few "chiens chauds" Michigan style, that with the tangy sweetish meat sauce they put on them.
And in Montreal you have to have spaghetti with smoked meat sauce and in a chinese restaurant smoked meat fried rice, there are also poutine shops with a selection of other toppings with the cheese curds.
The base of what you mentioned is all Quebec staple's, but I am from Ontario and my mother has made me butter tarts for 40 yrs, and for Nanaimo bars they may be another staple of Canada like Tim Hortons, the foods of Quebec are just a bit more homey and rustic, but the rest of the country doe some good stuff to.
French Canadian for sure. The early French explorers that settled in Canada took their cooking traditions and put their own spin on foods that were available in the new world.
Have you heard of the french-Canadian food called gorton? It's sort of a pate texture and is made with ground pork, onions, and allspice. It's just delicious and on our appetizer table every holiday.
I am French, and I only know of: pea soup (soupe de pois), tarte au sucre (in the north of France), Tourtière and crêpes de la Chandeleur. They are very traditional, and belong to a rural tradition.
I have never heard of Rago?t de boulettes (sounds fun!) or pudding au ch?meur. But they might be old French recipes that are no longer made over here ( = France).
