Cultural discovery through BeaverTail

BeaverTail opened a door into a cuisine I'd previously known almost nothing about. The comforting and familiar flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively. maple syrup production is a seasonal Quebec ritual celebrated at family sugar shacks. Understanding that context made the dish taste different — richer with meaning.

I learned that peameal bacon is central to this cuisine's character, not just a seasoning. The a prairie farm breakfast setting was authentic and helpful for understanding what I was eating. Molson Canadian completed the picture. A genuinely educational meal.
