Cook the Book: 'Bromberg Bros. Blue Ribbon Cookbook'

Being from Nova Scotia, Canada my late-night meals usually involve donairs, and when it comes to great donairs you have to try Island Greek in Halifax, where they take donairs a little more seriously. The thick pita, excellent meat make a huge difference, and that little bit of chopped fresh parsley tops it off nicely.

Canadian foods to kick off the Olympics!

@SavtaShayna - Nice to see A fellow serious eating Cape Bretoner!! I'm from Port Hawkesbury and my family hails from the Inverness area. I give a big second to some good old fish chowder. I didn't notice anything up here about white/blood puddings. I'm sure it's probably not unique to us, but you don't see it around much. I'm not sure what exactly is in them, but I gather they contain some nasty bits. Delicious nonetheless.

Also, I have a Newfoundland Grocery Store a couple of block from where I live in Halifax, NS. They have signs plastered all over their windows of the different groceries they carry, I should try and take a picture and post it for you all, there's some pretty interesting stuff. The things I can remember off the top of my head a "Newfoundland Bakeapple" and frozen partridges. But it really seems like they have some pretty unique foods.

Can Pumpkin Beer Be Serious Beer?

I love pumpkin beer! Propellor Brewery in Halifax, Nova Scotia makes a great Pumpkin Ale each year at this season. It's 5% and sounds closest to Wolaver's Will Stevens' Pumpkin Ale, still tastes like beer but has a delicious hint of pumpkiny-spice. Definetly worth picking up if your in the area!

Thanks so much for the advice, I'll be cooking them in the oven for sure so this should work great for me! I have some nice fair trade cane sugar, would this work instead of Tourbinado sugar?

Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

My fondest port memory was when I went to the farmers market and bought what I thought was going to be bacon I could cut myself...turned out to be canadian bacon or something...basically just a slab ham...but I cut and fried it up like bacon and it was delicious. I still want to at least cut my own bacon...if not brine and cut the pork belly myself!!

Cook the Book: 'Baked, New Frontiers in Baking'

My mom used to make this thing called a mud pie...I think it was from one of those free mini cookbook magazine thingies from the folks at Kraft. It was a graham crumb crust, filled with this mixture of chocolate pudding and cool whip that, once frozen became quite solid. Also there were gummy worms and mini marshmallows mixed throughout, and oreo crumbs sprinkled on top...it was delicious, and although its been a few years, I'm quite sure I'd still enjoy this at least in small doses!

Easy Comfort Food

My most comforting food by far would be corn chowder, just made some this past weekend. It's a simple recipe, make white sauce by heating 1tbsp each of butter and flour, then add about a cup of milk, then just throw some cream corn, kernel corn, cooked potatoe chunks, bacon, and some chopped onion preferably fried up with the bacon, and your set. Easy, tonnes of leftovers and loses nothing in storage. Totally having another bowl when I get home!
