I had no idea that Prince Edward Island was such a culinary destination! We drove through New Brunswick to PEI. Just awful weather, so we found a little Mom and Pop motel with a kitchenette...the first night not camping. First we went to downtown. We walked around and saw a huge cruise ship in town. Also, I hadn't realized that the Irish had settled here. They are famous for their potatoes. There are a lot of Irish pubs with singing and dancing. We went to a pub for lunch and had their fish cakes. Delicious. Made from halibut, cod, and potatoes. Nice and cozy atmosphere. PEI hosts the Culinary Institute of Canada. The tourist brochures offer Clam digging events, lobster fishing dinners, and weekly.cooking classes on their farms featuring local seafood, beef, potatoes and cheese. We bought PEI mussels which we will cook in our cottage tonight.
We are in Atlantic Time Zone now, east of Eastern.
Apparently this is a Mecca for Japanese tourists, as they like to visit the site of the book/TV show Anne of the Green Gables
Here I am in the kitchenette cooking up a storm, prepping for the week
