Montreal 2009
I was lucky enough to return to this beautiful and hospitable - and tasty! city just last week. Montreal in 48 hours, where to go?? What to eat?!
Step 1: Start off with a healthy breakfast. with butter. Preferably full of chocolate (extra point) Ignore fruit.
Step 2: Choose your menu wisely. More points if you double up on the delicious meats and game Quebec has to offer! My eye is wandering south and to the right though to desssert.....
must ...
not give....in.....
yet...
Step 3: Choose a chef who likes to play with his food (literally). Is it me or does this pig appear to be smiling??
I am amazed at the amount of meat in this guy's walk-in! (thanks chef Normand at Toque! for the tour and letting me post these photos of you :-)
PS - step 3.5: Make sure it's a fun place!! It counts in this game.
Bonus points if they bring you lots o'shots of whiskey - even if you don't want it. and then again for a second round. The whole point of this exercise is to stomach the food and the booze together. It keeps you warm in Canada!
Step 4: Um. Eat.
Foie gras at Toque!
They prefaced this dish with "oh, you will just die". This is puff pastry, bechamel, potato, blood sausage and foie gras tart. Www..wwow.

Canned duck + foie gras, a signature at APiedC
See how they serve it!!
Dessert at Toque! Mmm. An almond puff pastry (super thin) with triple chocolate ice creams, ganache, vanilla ice cream....
Step 5: Triumph! Sleep. Gym. Remember. try to replicate. Realize you can't make diet version. Go back.

GREAT photoz KT! I'm jealous of the meats...
I think I once made a comment that I thought you must live the most exciting life and that I would just have to live vicariously through your blog...now, I'm not so sure. I mean, I can eat meat, but I don't know about canned duck or seeing my pork chop being chopped! Still, I think it is great you get to do the things you do, especially when I compair it to my turkey sausage and white sause on Pilsbury biscuits for dinner menu :)
