So it was off to Canada on Sunday. We decided to attempt multiple courses, starting with a main involving fish, chips and a plank. The above shot is us warming the cedar, which ends up smoking the fish as it cooks. Below is us painting salmon with a delicious glaze made of maple syrup, amongst other things.
The asparagus also took on an amazing smoky flavour.
Below is our version of poutine. I think they traditionally make their own chips and gravy, and use cheese curd rather than bocconcini. So we didn't accurately achieve any single ingredient, but we were going for the vibe....?
Dessert was an extremely rich nanaimo bar (mostly butter with a few other ingredients playing minor roles), served with a glass of ice wine (a dessert riesling made from grapes which have frozen on the vine).
So, thank you Canada - we enjoyed our stay, and hope to come back one day soon.
Next stop... Malta. K, we're going to be asking questions.
Dessert looked rich. The main course looked and sounded great.
