Cheesus of Montreal

(with apologies to Denys Arcand)
According to Victoria and Rodney, Quebec has over 230 regionally-produced cheeses, and I'm pretty sure I tasted a significant percentage of them while I was up there. Sadly, many of them are raw milk cheeses, which made them off-limits to the pregnant Miz Becky (unlike millions of pregnant French women, but that's another discussion).
Not only were they delicious, they were beautiful as well!

Quebecois cheese is pretty special, but you neglected to mention the finest example of them all: the delectable squeaky cheese curd, accented perfectly by crispy chip-truck fries and steaming hot brown sauce. Ahhh...poutine. Not to be confused with putain, which is an entirely different kind of Quebecois "delicacy"...
