Don't let the 'bland' (pun unintended) look of the plate dissuade you, this meal was AWESOME! We are truly behaving like 'old folks' at these suppers...in early, out early! You know you're from Lunenburg County when...it's 5 pm and you have already eaten supper. ^_^
The drive out to Blandford is just one of the perks of this supper. Gorgeous vistas, a couple nice beaches to walk on after your meal, secluded coves, the Aspotogan Peninsula is well worth checking out if you've never been out this way. But, back to the supper.
The food line had 4 or 5 stations, corned beef, boiled cabbage, turnip, carrots and potatoes and a bun were on offer for dinner. Not much to look at (varying shades of 'beige'/earthy tones), but a stick to your ribs, meat 'n' potatoes meal that cannot be denied! We had a long table to ourselves, so for once we got all of the table condiments before they ran out! Amazing mustard pickles with big hunks of cauliflower (a coveted treasure), bread and butter pickles and pickled beets that almost melted in the mouth.
Even the butter had it's own hand made container.
The last time we went to this supper the corned beef was salty. But this year they must've boiled and rinsed it properly because it was truly delicious. Loads of mustard and mustard pickles, a sprinkle of vinegar on the boiled cabbage. We were in heaven. And then the difficult task of choosing dessert.
All looked to be made from scratch, there really wasn't a bad choice on offer. All in all, a great excuse for a drive and a special meal.
