Last weekend I left the city behind for some real skiing. We stayed at the Ermitage du Lac in the Mt. Tremblant village. I didn't have too many a foodie adventure, because as everything else in that touristy village, food was ridiculously overpriced. Our first night there no one was in the mood to cook up a storm in the condo, so we ventured out for a quick bite to eat. A small slice of pizza and a pint came to $14.00. Madness. Luckily we did our grocery shopping in town before heading up to the village. On Saturday after a full day of skiing Sean prepared chicken teriyaki for everyone.
It was really good, especially after a long day out on the slopes!
At sometime during that weekend, poutine was brought back to the condo...bad poutine. 1.5 out of the 3 essential elements were present...cheese curds and o.k gravy, but the fries were your standard frozen variety. Ew. Plus the poutine was from a chain restaurant (Casey's).
I know good poutine, and this just wasn't it.
Pretty much right where you get off the lower gondola there is a store selling all things maple and maple taffy. Of course I had to have a go. The nice man who poured the syrup onto the snow told me to wait for forty five seconds.
I think I only waited 20 before I got too excited. This would explain why my taffy, instead of being a taffy-like consistency was way too gooey. Whatever, it still tasted good.
I had a great mini-vacation! Not too much to report on the foodie-front, but still I had a great time! Next year's mission in Tremblant....find some decent poutine.
