Leslie F., HG/BSK’s beautiful Prince Edward Island pal and neighbor, invited HG/BSK to lunch at Clamdiggers Restaurant in the small village of Cardigan. A generous offer and a tasty lunch. Leslie and BSK had lusty fried haddock tacos served with mountains of sweet potato fries. The tacos contained an abundance of shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and an enrichment of lime and chipotle cream sauce. HG had a simple plate of sauteed local sea scallops—plus many of the sweet potato fries that accompanied the tacos. The trio drank Red Ale from Gahan’s, a local brewery (all of their beers and ales are world class). Leslie and HG indulged in desserts (just tea for BSK). Leslie approved of her cheesecake and HG was transported by flourless chocolate torte. The torte was adorned with rum caramel sauce, raspberry coulis and generous scoops of whipped cream. This was the best chocolate dessert ever. Better than New York, Paris, London or Vienna. The torte was lush and not too sweet. Echoes of superior dark chocolate. It gave HG a very happy surprise while sipping an accompaniment of Argentine Malbec. A zillion thanks, Leslie, for a memorable lunch facing a harbor on a bright PEI autumn day.
