Moose-nose soup? There's an app for that.

According to CBC News, to help celebrate its 100th anniversary, Parks Canada has launched a new smartphone app, "Heritage Gourmet," that showcases traditional and historical dishes linked to historic sites all around the country. Professional chefs from a college in Ottawa wrote 60 recipes for the effort, and in some cases had to find alternatives for traditional ingredients. After all, moose noses, eels and muskrats aren't exactly available for most "foodies," whose interest in historical sites the app is intended to foster. For now, there's only an iPhone/iPod version of the free, downloadable program, but versions for other platforms are in the works. Read more from CBC, here, and click through find the app at iTunes or Parks Canada.
