Have you ever tried making your own? It's pretty much the simplest bread recipe there is. 3 cups flour, 2 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 1/2 cups water, 1/4 cup melted butter. Knead dough for ten minutes then fry in a pan.
I learned to make bannock when I was a kid at one of the nature nights at goldsteam campground. Still make it over the fire every time I go camping. I also make it at home on the stove. It's so easy to make and so delicious!
Absolutely so so easy to make! And everyone has their own recipe.... my Saskatchewan Métis in-laws (both born in the early years of the 20th century) made it the old way, the way their parents had, with just flour, lard, salt and water kneaded together and cooked in a cast iron frying pan coated with melted lard. So good. Every First Nation has their own way of making bannock, cooked, baked or fried. It's all good :)
The Bannock Room they are regularly behind the Royal BC Museum. Open daily 10am-3pm (I work in the area and would get lunch from them sometimes LOL. SO GOOD!!!!
Such a good restaurant. Went there years ago. Asked the waitress for a recommendation. Try the mushroom risotto she suggested. I don’t like mushrooms I reply, trust me she said it’s delicious. Nope, don’t like mushrooms. Trust me she said. I was being polite saying I don’t like mushrooms, I hate mushrooms. She insisted. I ordered the risotto. It was absolutely delicious.
It’s super easy to make. Growing up Métis I thought this was traditional aboriginal food but later discovered it is a Scottish dish embraced by First Nations. I notice people here on the coast don’t differentiate the names between fried bannock and just bannock. Regular bannock is how the Scottish make it. Fried bannock is a more recent variation favoured by First Nation cooks most likely inspired by Native Americans in the US who make “fry bread”.
Songees Food Truck, across from Canadian Tire in View Royal.
There's also another Indigenous food truck that is sometimes parked behind the Royal BC Museum. Not sure if they are there currently though.
They were there yesterday
The Bannock Room
The bannock room is another food truck option
Where is that one usually located?
I believe it’s behind the Royal BC Museum
In the bannock district

Yes, my mom used to make it camping and we'd cook it on sticks and put jam on it after it was cooked.

Go to Edmonton, stay at River Cree Resort. Best Bannock ever along with the best buffet, cheap breakfast etc. Shuttle to WEM for shopping.
Thanks I’ve added that to my list of “what to do when in Edmonton”
