We went to the same place as we did last year… it is so hard to find a great Sugar Shack… there are so many here and they are so commercial that often the feeling of being at the Sugar Shack is lost….
Anyway… here is our day… and mostly our food… (all traditional Québécois “Cabane à Sucre” foods!)
I forgot to upload the Animal pics… but first we saw the animals that live there and then we went on a horse and sleigh ride…
Khéna wasn’t too sure….
It was beautiful out… but still cold at about -4
Inside for food…
Cretons (spread made of pork and spices)
Pea Soup
Lunch… Omlette made with maple syrup, small potatoes, sausages, maple bakes beans, and maple smoked ham… with a side of “oreilles de Crisse”….
Sadly there is no sap running yet this year… winter is lasting long… so they have been using last years syrup… and the syrup is put on pretty much everything on the plate…
then dessert…
Maple Syrup Pie and fresh doughnuts
Maple Cake
and my favourite… “Beignets” (fried doughnut) smothered in maple cream sauce….
then the traditional Maple Taffy…
Syrup is heated to a certain temp.. then poured on snow…
then poke….
and roll…
(and then the boys played to work off some of that sugar)
