Quebec (Food) Memories

Our four days in Quebec were busy.

Terry believes that vacations are for doing things - not for relaxing...

"We can rest when we get back home!"

Among the memories that stand out...

Driving to the marine museum in Rimouski, we exited the highway at Trois Pistoles in order to shop at the cheese factory we had discovered on our return trip from PEI in May.

The cheese shop had been busy then... But this Labor Day weekend, it was even busier: They had hired crossing guards to help customers safely cross the road! (No stop signs or traffic lights in sight...)

Observing the steady stream of people who - like us - had exited the highway for the sole  purpose of purchasing cheese, I couldn't help but think: "If you build it, they will come!"

And come they do - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Other food memories were Quebec City's farmers market at the old port...

We bought blueberries and cheese before heading home - and discovered "tomato wine" - something I had never tasted before!

Then there was the Coaticook ice cream cone I just had to have - because it reminds me of the region of Quebec where Terry lived as a child - and because we've been at the dairy where the ice cream is made.
