HUNGRY GERALD

Prince Edward Island–where HG/BSK spend many months at HG/BSK’s oceanfront home–is famous for its numerous potato farms. Spuds are the Island’s major crop and they are shipped all over Canada and to some northeast USA locations. They have a unique and tasty mineral flavor (PEI’s red soil is the reason.) BSK cooks them in many ways –all delicious. Weeks ago, BSK made a dinner of fresh steamed cod and seasonal asparagus. This was accompanied by a saucepan of browned sliced onions and local potatoes. The sliced spuds were gently sauteed with the onions, dusted with turmeric and other spices and simmered in chicken broth until soft. Sensational. Spuds merged beautifully with the fish dish and a salad of avocado and cherry tomatoes.
