As Etta James sang, “At Last.” Yes, at last sweet corn is ripe on Prince Edward Island and — with a dash of butter and salt — it is delicious. Up north in Canada, sweet corn is ready weeks after Americans are feasting on the seasonal delicacy. BSK was determined to find a farm stand selling just picked ears. A determined BSK is focused and relentless. BSK found a stand in an obscure location in the the town of Montague. Young man bagged two dozen and the feasting began tonight. Dinner was simple. Corn (super yummy). Steamed soft shell clams with melted butter and grit free clam broth. Roasted spatchcocked chicken (this was a gift from BSK’s sister, Noel M., and the free range bird was raised by Noel’s neighbor). Green salad. Cheese. Ice cream (and for HG, the usual French chestnut puree and whipped cream). Epic meal. HG warmed a cooked ear of corn in the microwave for a tasty lunch the next day.
