TRUE FOODIE LOVES

SIMPLE PICNIC FARE

 

One of the things that motorcycling has taught me is that a veritable feast can be packed in a saddlebag or trunk, ready to enjoy at a shore-side picnic table, or in our hotel room. As a true” foodie” I love eating out, experiencing different cuisines in different settings, but even I have to admit that a simple feast of local fare picked up here and there along our travels is hard to beat.

A sign for fresh Island baked goods, a stop at a deli or rural corner store, the farmers market or a road side stand, provide the makings.  Round it out with a stop at a wharf to pick up already cooked lobster, or some succulent oysters for an instant feast.

Or use a disposable BBQ, or camp stove to cook up burgers, mussels (Just wrap them loosely in a couple of layers of foil and place on the grill.  When the foil puffs up, the mussels are done).  With a little ingenuity two-wheel chef wannabe’s can whip up a special treat and enjoy a fun experience. Something as simple as home-made bread toasted over a campfire gives a special “flavour” to your holiday. 

Even a trip to the grocery store can garner up a delicious picnic. Just remember to only buy what you can eat without having to store it for long, keep perishables cool - you can get some nifty fold up insulated bags that are perfect for this job.  We count utensils, a can opener, two plastic plates, and matches as must have items in our packing.   

One of the best things about a couple of simple picnic style meals is the fact that they lessen the guilt factor when we indulge in a decadent lobster feast or fine dining experience.  After all, eating out is one of the most enjoyable parts of any vacation and variety in meals is truly the spice of life. - Julie V. Watson   

EATING OUT

The link between great food and Prince Edward Island is one reinforced with every curve in the road.  This Island province relies on harvesting the land and sea so whether it is a potato field with neatly planted rows that give a patchwork quilt look to the landscape, or fishing boats plying our waters, you see constant reminders that you are never far from the best that nature can produce.

 

It isn’t a real secret that eating is one of the favoured activities of Islanders and visitors alike and we have many great food establishments to prove it.  From fine dining prepared by high calibre chefs to casual far from canteens on the wharf - the range of offerings is huge with something to meet every taste.  Its just a case of checking the menus to see what titillates your taste-buds.
