Nova Scotia

It's been a while, sorry, pretty busy
May go back and "fill in the blanks"
For now, wrapping up trip to Nova Scotia and a post on ... Lobster

As a committed (sorta) Locavore, we try to go for what is local on the menu.

We'll start with the Press Gang with family
Went for the Lobster Duo (iPhone photo)
Started with
Nova Scotia Mussels
Dragons Breath cheese and leek (no photo)


Champagne butter poached claws with caper and garlic basted tail, parsnip and creamed leek puree, dried cherry couscous 





Good food, great service, ancient house (stables I believe) 
On the list 


Next up : The Bicycle Thief


Charcuterie plate (no photo) worth consideration, then 







Handmade Ravioloni stuffed with Fresh Lobster, mascarpone, chives, shelled Lobster garnish, Parmigiano fonduta, dusted with crispy crumbs - YES







A tavola non si invecchia
At the table with good friends and family you do not become old.







How to maintain the lobster a day?


Why with Lobster Mac&Cheese at Salt Shaker Deli in Lunenberg (SWest Coast)






Then there's always Chow-da




and




or just start the day with Eggs Benedict - Nova Scotia Style




and lest we forget ... Seafood Fettuccine
