Join us this week for a trip to Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia eating involves more than its justly famed lobsters. Wild, foraged foods like fiddlehead ferns, chanterelle mushrooms, and wild blueberries are of particular note. As are the thick, crunchy oatcakes that go so well with tea or coffee that are baked around the province. A range of shellfish, including Digby scallops and Cape Breton oysters, are another great fact of local foods in this maritime province.
