Regional Cuisine Report
One of the things I always try to engage in when traveling is the sampling of local cuisine. So here is a report on the local eats of the Atlantic Provinces:
I’ve already commented on Digby, Scallop Capital of the World, so I won’t repeat.
In Shediac, NB, Lobster Capital of the World, we had lobster rolls. 2.99 CAD for a small one, which seemed to be the same size as the large. No mayo. Just lobster. Yum.
Prince Edward Island of course is known for mussels, and they are fab there. Also, the Malpeque Oysters are pretty well known, but the ones found in New London, PE, called Raspberry Point are the best I’ve ever eaten, by a lot.
In Halifax and the rest of Nova Scotia, drink Keith’s beer, both the IPA and the red are quite nice. Schooner is also brewed in Halifax and is a nice light amber ale.
Poutine, a concoction found all over the region was obviously originally created by someone who was really stoned and had a wicked case of the munchies. The ultimate comfort food, it consists of French fries drenched in gravy and melted cheese, preferably cheddar. It is embarrassing how good it is.
As a general rule, don’t ever eat at a place recommended by the people who run the KOA campsite, especially if they give you coupons. But you already knew that.
