My husband and I saw Tide and Boar on You Gotta Eat Here. It's in Moncton, NB. We are heading on a road trip out east soon and are thinkg of planning a stop at this place. One of the dishes we saw that we want to try was the Pulled Boar Poutine. Has anyone been here? Any reviews? TIA http://www.tideandboar.com/ fryerlover Sat, 12 May 2012 01:27:05 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/848830#7334415 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/847344#7328013 Just as an add on: We will research the board for known places in the main towns. We were thinking more along the lines of places off the main route that would be interesting to try, different, hidden jems, DDD's,. We will travel a different route both ways.....main highways and smaller roads. If you can think of anything not usually listed, I'd love to hear. If it seems worth it we will travel to try these places. We pretty much eat all/any foods and all cultures. Comfort/casual to semi-fine dining preferred. Thanks in advance. fryerlover Tue, 08 May 2012 23:00:23 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/847344#7328013 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/783856#7324369 Hi Prima, Where do you buy Dragon's Breath in Ontario? I haven't checked to see if I can buy it in Montreal where I am moving to in a few months but I am your Ontario locations are Ottawa or Toronto, HFXFoodie Mon, 07 May 2012 13:51:29 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/783856#7324369 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/824089#7324348 I was pumped to hear such a place was opening here in our gourmet starved town, especially in the world of pates and terrines and duck confit - oh my! I bought three types of pates (can't remember which ones as this took place just a week or two after the place opened), duck rillette, saucisson Toulouse (haven't seen these since I left Montreal!), and mini quiches in my excitement. The pates were OK but did not have alot of flavour, very nice texture, the quiches were delicious and the Toulouse were excellent. Haven't been back since as I found the overall price not worth the effort unfortunately. Hope this place remains and there are enough townies to support it. I am moving back to Montreal in a few months and will be back in the land of gourmet everything - can't wait!!! Nice to know there will be a place like Ratinaud for everyone I leave behind.

I've had some good meals there and some not as good. I wouldn't order Pad Thai in a Chinese restaurant (I hadn't noticed it on the menu). I recently tried the Twice-Cooked Pork and it was fantastic. The best food seems to be in the Chinese menu. The last time I was there I had to insist on getting the Chinese menu. It is in a big hard covered menu book. That menu had the more Canadianized dishes at the front and the more Chinese dishes on the green pages at the back. I still think that Panda is the first authentic Chinese restaurant to open in Fredericton in the 10 years I've lived here. Two other authentic-type places have opened since: Arom on Regent St (where Mei's used to be) and Oriental Pearl in a small strip mall on Kimble. Arom was closed down by water damage after a big fire in the apartment above but I believe the owners plan to re-open. I haven't yet tried Oriental Pearl, just snooped in and picked up the menu, which looks promising. I hope that helps. foodhead Tue, 01 May 2012 04:04:57 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/790007#7311628 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/768185#7309482 re: The Spice Man Fresh or dried Kaffir lime leaves? As Simon mentioned dried are useless. Frozen are passable. A friend has a tree and the leaves are much more potent.

The fickle frog also does for sure, and I think a few other places have picked them up on tap as well. (The granite brewery's peculiar is my all time favorite beer) I also put a vote in for the Hart and thistle - though I was less impressed with the beer and more wowed by the lamb burger. Also consider checking out Rock Bottom, the brewmaster who is working there now used to work at both Garrison and hart and thistle so he has tons of experience. Stop by the garrison brewery to pick up flavours you won't find served anywhere - like their amazing jalepeno beer. mmm. oh, and avoid the halifax alehouse. when you have so many other genuinely awesome places to choose from jkatt Mon, 23 Apr 2012 21:17:44 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/795352#7296335 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/831664#7293070 Lot 30 is a great restaurant, you won't be disappointed! The Selkirk is great. There's an event called PEI Burger Love going on in April (www.burgerlovepei.ca), be sure to give some of those a try! Daniel-Brenan Brickhouse, or the Lucy Maud Dining Room (The Culinary Institute of Canada) are some great options as well! There's a market on Prince Street where you can get some fresh snow crab, definately a must-try! Enjoy!

Their Pad Thai is great! I'm really not a fan of Taly Thai. For some reason it is always listed on the Coast Best of Food, but I've never had a good meal there.

Here's what I got, in no particular order: - Battered Fish http://thebatteredfish.ca/ - A Mano. It's a pizza place with wood ovens. It is in the bottom floor of a condo building on the waterfront called Salters Landing. It is the building past Sugah! , behind the parking lot. If you are walking north from the pier where the ship docks to Theodore, it will be near to the cruise ship http://www.ristoranteamano.ca/ - The Grill at Cut (http://www.cutsteakhouse.ca/the-grill/) has great high end burgers.

The service was very slow, despite the restaurant not being very busy. The butter chicken I ordered lacked a richness I expect from this dish and there was only about 1/3 of a cup of chicken in the dish. The papadam-like things that were served before the meal had an off flavour to them making me wonder how fresh the oil was that was used to fry them. I certainly wouldn't go back and wish I hadn't gone in the first place. Lots of good restaurants for my money in Halifax, this is not one of them.

It is Greek Orthodox Easter this weekend, and there are so few Orthodox people around there isn't much demand for ethnic ingredients. I tried Blue Olive and they are all out, and no where else seems to have any. This will teach me not to wait until the last minute! peggy_t_c Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:39:20 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/843821#7272461 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/808710#7255957 Update: The Indian store on Robie now has bags of whole Kashmiri chillies. Here is a link to the Rogan Josh recipe I wanted these for - in case anyone is interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1RgI4R8VX4 My curry still didn't get as red as his. I think maybe because I didn't quite grind it into a fine enough powder. I either use goat meat (Indian store on Robie - $7.99/lb) or lamb from the grocery store to make this recipe. analysisparalysis Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:14:51 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/808710#7255957 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/826651#7241545 Thanks everyone for your help!

I order online from cheesemaking.com in the States. Glengarrycheesemaking.on.ca is a Canadian source you may want to try. For some cheeses, you can use Junket Rennet tablets, which may be available in Newfoundland, but they are not as trustworthy as the real thing. Happy cheesemaking! stagething Wed, 22 Feb 2012 23:22:29 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/826653#7166646 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/833902#7160570 Try talking to the Sawdee tea house on Granville or World Tea House on Grafton ingress Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:35:21 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/833902#7160570 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/832799#7155489 Can't seem to edit my reply... I wanted to add Beachy Cove Cafe down in Portugal Cove, near where the Bell Island Ferry docks. They have lots of great Newfoundland specialties like cod tongues, pea soup. hot turkey sandwich, fish & chips, fish & brewis, etc. Very good food and very homey. And if you go to Bell Island, make sure you stop at Dicks's. Excellent fish & chips! cellophane_star Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:32:52 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/832799#7155489 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/832590#7134279 Let's here all about your fave places to eat! cleblanc Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:11:15 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/832590#7134279 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/487865#7123564 Look, Fredericton is like any small town. There are the classics, and there are hidden gems. There are also a lot of students, so maybe what wins is price over quality or fancy-smancy eats. However, I am a firm believer that there is good food for each particular kind of occasion. If you're celebrating something, The Garrison is the place to go. But if you have a hangover, there's nothing like a greasy homemade burger from Joe's diner with a partly home-cooked flavour, and part-all-day-breakfast greasy feel. I started cataloguing the restaurants in Fredericton through my blog, so if you're feeling like beer and nachos, come find the best one. If you want ethnic, theres a place for that too. fredeats.wordpress.com maisazoe Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:47:40 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/487865#7123564 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/831223#7116688 Suggestions anyone ?

Spent last summer trying all chowders across NB and Nova Scotia and a few on PEI - and that was the best. Really thick with bacon, shrimp, lobster, crab and scallops.

I am the mom of a celiac who is a real foodie. We have recently discovered Cup4Cup flour subsitute from The French Laundry availabe at William Sonoma's in TO (where I have to go on business quite frequently so pick it up). I have no idea when it will be avail on line in Canada from WS, though I am hoping if enough people ask, it may happen. This is BY FAR the best GF flour mix we have discovered...really did well in our fave Brownie and Ginger Spice Christmas recipes this year. My daughter is not keen on plum pudding so that was less of a challenge...last year however, we were very impressed with the GF Plum Pudding from Marks and Spencer from BritSuperStore online. Good luck and, for the record,, like the previous poster, I find the substitution of ground almond meal to be a useful flour substitute in sweet recipes that do not call for quantities of more than 1/2 cup.

She is celiac and MUST eat gluten-free. The server did not take her request seriously at a recent dinner event and she ended up having to leave all the food she had ordered...even after explaining her dietery dilemna, he still served a bread- crumb-covered item that had contaminated the plate. The restaurant was the choice of her husband's elderly relative (who played hostess and paid) so she didn't want to make an unpleasant fuss. Offputting, though...and, as has been mentioned, such a shame with that location...
