Here are a few pics from “La Cabane à Sucre” or “Sugar Shack” where we went last Thursday… This is one tradition that I want my Family to know. It is something that I loved doing as a child…
For those who don’t know what it is… Quebec is the largest producer of Maple Syrup in the world so when the Nectar Flows the Sugar shack go to work…. collecting the Maple water a few times a day and the boiling it down to the Maple Syrup we know…
With the syrup comes the food… A whole array of traditional french-canadian cuisine… Def not healthy or vegetarian and not something that I could eat everyday or more than once a year…
Cretons on toast,Split Pea soup, Maple omelette, Breakfast Sausages, Apple Maple Ham. Maple Baked Beans, Pork rinds, Beignets, homemade dougnuts, Maple cake, Maple sugar Pie etc…
Followed by “tire sur Neige”
Hot maple syrup poured onto snow making a Maple taffy…
Now “Sugaring off” also includes small petting zoo’s at many places, horse drawn sled or buggy rides etc…
Anyway… here are some pics….
Here is the Maple Taffy…
This was an amazingly nice Llama called Tommy…
We went to a Cabane a Sucre this past weekend. I love those. Especially the maple sugar in the snow. Khena looks so cute in his hat and wrap and Simon kissing the llama is adorable.
