A Sunday Joint

The Modern Forager

At a recent Sunday dinner there was much controversy when our favourite British matron declared that every Sunday "one should enjoy a joint with family." After some animated discussion, it was revealed that a joint is an English term for a piece of meat or even better, a roast.
At Forager Foods we have some seasonal items that you may want to consider when you decide to have your next joint

Pumpkin Ravioli:
Tis the season to be pumpkin….come by the shop for some organic ravioli stuffed with pumpkin. This pasta is much too delicate for a red or white sauce but is perfectly appropriate for a browned sage butter sauce. Check out this recipe at www.foragerfoods.ca and click on the recipe link.

Brussel Sprouts:
You love em' or hate em', but have to have em'. That's because we are in the season of fall vegetables. Weguarantee* that you will "fall in love" with our brussel sprouts when you see our recipe which uses bacon and cream at www.foragerfoods.ca and click on the recipe link.

Wild Boar:
One country block from our vegetable supplier, Soiled Reputation in Sebringville is Ontario's premiere farmer of Tamworth, Berkshire and Wild Boar. At Forager Foods we will bring in small quantities of Berkshire pork tenderloin, Tamworth pork chops and wild boar sausage. We expect our first delivery in 10 days, send us an order… for your next joint.

Thunder Oak Update & More Cheese Info:

For all who have been asking, Thunder Oak Gouda has arrived back onto our cheese shelf. Our Chief Foragerspoke to representatives at the fromagerie in Thunder Bay and they are assuring delivery of the award winning "mild" Gouda consistently. More pressing yet, our chief forager is trying hard to source some aged Thunder Oak Gouda

Other Cheese News: Currently we have Ewenity's "Eweda" which is a play on 'Gouda" and pronounced as "yoo-daa." Eweda is a special sheep milk cheese that is a little crumbly, tangy, but creamy all at the same time! Ewenity is the "other" Ontario sheep milk cheesemaker in Ontario, come in for a try. Curiously the Eweda is also available in a raw milk form called Eweda Cru but it is not as exceptional. This goes against the grain of raw v pasteurized cheeses and the preconceptions of those cheesemaking processes.

Also by popular demand our Chief Forager has brought in a four-year-old raw milk cheddar from Ile-Aux-Grue. The raw milk cheddar is superior to the Perron 4 yr we currently carry. Be sure to ask for a sample, they are encouraged

Keep Foraging,

Sam, Sara & Bill
