favourite things, april

I happened to pick up the "100 best things" issue of Saveur magazine awhile ago...some nice inspirational stuff to be found there!

you can't go wrong with butter.

Just thought I'd add to the list with a few food/eating/drinking things that I really liked this month.

1) Live BC spot prawns (random T&T visit), quickly blanched, to be devoured with soy and chili sauce. With a cold beer to wash it down.

2) Salty crunchy nori snack packs. Same T&T visit! Man I love that place.

3) Last brunch at Niagara Street Cafe. Homemade bacon and perfect egg goodness...glad we ate the entire menu! (I liked the buttery toast soldiers for yolk dipping very much.)

4) New best drink. Ever. Thanks to Bryan! Hendricks gin, Fevertree tonic - it's some artisinal, small batch super tasty stuff - and pink grapefruit wedge. Amaaaazing. Will have to come up with a good name for that one. Suggestions?

5) Southern Fried Sweetbreads at the Hoof. Plump little nuggets, crispy coating, collard greens, cornbread and Franks hot sauce. Ummm....

Your turn!
