The butter tart is a Canadian pastry - flaky shell, brown sugar, butter, syrup filling. Runny or firm is a deeply personal choice. It originated in Ontario and has never needed to apologize for existing.
You discover Trinidad and Tobago's unique wildlife including the endangered Trinidad puma, scarlet ibis, anacondas, and the local armadillo species in rainforest habitats. You see that residents commonly keep dogs, cats, and tropical fish as pets in their homes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You encounter Beninese palm oil, textiles from Ouidah, and traditional cast-iron Benin bronzes that represent centuries of African craftsmanship and royal history. You respect these products because they connect you to Benin's powerful pre-colonial kingdoms and the artistic mastery that made Benin City famous across the African continent.
