August 8, 2015. Western Head, N.S. Smoked Salmon.

The smoked salmon in Nova Scotia is the best in the world,  or so we say.   They serve it not only the traditional way which is sliced thin and served with capers and cream cheese and onion but also in thick pieces served in strips.   And the smoking is light so has no strong taste.

This evening  before dinner we six had a party, sitting around the kitchen table and eating strips of smoked salmon with capers and cream cheese on crackers and drinking a light Nova Scotia sparking wine.    Rita was the instigator of our party which was another extension of her birthday celebration.   We thoroughly enjoyed our smoked salmon which is Rita's favorite.  In Ontario the thin sliced smoked salmon is available in the stores but not the thick chunks of salmon that can be purchased here in Nova Scotia.  Gill prefers the chunks of salmon too.

Tonight we had a treat where we ate a delicious appetizer and enjoyed each others company, all because we are living in Nova Scotia.   We are fortunate indeed.
