With epicurean delights like maple-smoked sturgeon and salmon, home-made apple cider and excellent local wines on offer, why wouldn’t a quartet of wandering gourmand-wannabes stop by Ile d’Orleans in Quebec?
After a week on the road we picked up our old friends Cristy and Robert (”Speedy” to his mates) in Ontario and whisked them away to the heady delights of French-speaking Canada - cosmopolitan Montreal first, then Quebec City with its old-world charms. Ile d’Orleans hides in the St Lawrence River not far from the capital and is a little rural haven with much to offer a travelling palate.
Excellent local ingredients also made this a perfect stopover for our next “Canadian Safari” episode of CTK.
Lenny took charge to create on-the-road pork steaks with apple, onion and cider. Cristy jumped in with a simple and delicious salad of potatoes and beans.
Speedy and I should also be credited for our loitering nearby, drinking beer and cider and injecting various off-camera witticisms.
We’ll be posting more adventures as we storm the Atlantic provinces!

Cannot wait to try this meal, it sounds divine. Always a treat to find new salad recipes at this time of year, and you can never beat a nice bit of pork
Hope you’re having a great trip around Canada!
Great Show! Looked amazing, and also served to remind me that I had meat marinating which I had forgotten.
Keep up the great work and send me a bottle of that cider. I can’t find any good kind around here (Washington DC). Also if you can subtitle the really quiet bits (like the very end) that would be wonderful.

Hi. Love your work. Good fun, easy to follow descriptions, great sound effects (meat sizzles and cork pops). Makes me reconsider my non-meat eating. But I’ve still go the fish here in Scotland, so can’t complain. In fact, the smokd fish sections were mouth watering on my side of the screen. And, as always, its great to see others enjoyment of God’s other good foods. But how about a podcast dedicated to fish alone?
American stranded in Scotland, and happily so. Cheers!
