Addendum To my last blog: Food in Val
Marie. This town is in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. That name is a Cree
word for “swiftly flowing river.’ Ironically, there is a small city in
Saskatchewan named “Swift Current!” Talk about redundancy!
But this is about food. Tonight in the
Harvest Moon Cafe, the Special was “Cheese Chili Dogs, one or two.” Where else
in the world would a hot dog, with bean and chili sauce, covered with cheddar,
be a “special.” Only in Saskatchewan…and it was delicious! To top it off, the super duper dessert for the night was
“Fried Saskatoon berry perogies, with rhubarb ice cream.”
I never expect to see that item on another
menu as long as I live! Pure Saskatchewan…and it, too, was delicious. We each
had this, knowing that it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Can you
imagine the fun we had poring over the menu, and tucking into these ridiculous items…which
were both wonderful!
Think about some of the unique and weird
menu items that appear in your part of the world, and appreciate the weirdness
and wonderfulness of them! And have them the next time you eat out!
