Our normal Sunday routine when were were settled in Ottawa was to stop our chores and eat lunch at noon. We would listen to Stuart McLean's the Vinyl Cafe as we enjoyed our food. On the road yesterday, we were quite happy to listen as we made our way to Shediac, New Brunswick. We were also fortunate to be able to catch Stuart live when he recorded a couple of shows at the museum in June. So we listened intently to see if it was a show that we had seen live, it wasn't. He did comment however, that he went to Maine after he left Ottawa and spent some time talking about a wonderful Lobster roll that he managed to eat (ok, like his true self, he managed to eat a dozen of them) when he was in Maine. Well, this, of course only made us drool as we were heading into Canada's Lobster Capital, Shediac. Shediac, if you are unaware, has a 35 foot long lobster at the west entrance to the city, and it weighs 50 tonnes, it tool 3 years to build at a cost of over $180,000. A fitting site to place where lobster has given a lot to the community. And as we would have it, we eventually found a nice local place to grab a lobster roll. It was buttery, creamy, and I would have taken a photo of it, but it went down far too quickly. I can't imagine that the one the Stuart McLean had in Maine would be any better, but from his description, the Maine lobster roll will certainly be larger (don't you know, EVERYTHING IS bigger in the USA). I will let you know, as we plan on visiting Stuart's shop and ordering the massive "Dr. Winn"
