homegrown flavours
Well, the esteemed Island shellfish doesn’t actually wear socks. But as they grow, they are suspended in socks (mesh sleeves) in the water. This process keeps them far away from the bottom dwelling predators, allows them to have greater access to food, and ensures cleaner shells. The result is a high quality mussel, internationally renowned for its superior flavour.
Why do mussels wear socks?

Think warm cookies and milk, burger, fries and a milkshake, corn on the cob dripping with butter. Prince Edward Island dairy products make all food taste better. One hundred million litres of milk are produced each year in PEI. Milk that is not enjoyed with warm cookies is made into cheese, ice cream and the all-important butter that is the essential accompaniment to your Island lobster, mussels and clams.
Milk and all its goodness

The natural resources of Prince Edward Island provide the rich farmland needed to produce some of the healthiest livestock and tastiest meat available.
Family farms passed down through generations combine proven farming traditions with care and pride to bring you safe, nutritious, and delicious meat.
Beef, pork, lamb & poultry - our farmers are proud of what they do and are committed to quality.
PEI Barbeque Pulled Pork Sandwich
INGREDIENTS (Sauce)6 cups (1.5 L) Ketchup2 cups (500 mL) balsamic vinegar2 cups (500 mL) brown sugar (packed)1 cup (250 mL) diced onion¼ cup (60 mL) hickory smoke seasoning2 tbsp (30 mL) minced garlic
1 tbsp (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce2 tsp (10 mL) Tabasco sauceSalt and pepper
INGREDIENTS (Pork)3 lb (1.4 kg) boneless pork shoulderSalt and pepperTwo large Spanish onions (medium slices)One head of garlic (chopped)
DIRECTIONS• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper.
• Place the onions and garlic in a roasting pan and sit the pork shoulder on top. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes to brown the pork and vegetables.
• Meanwhile, mix all the sauce ingredients in a large mixing bowl together. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Keep refrigerated until needed.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 300˚F (150˚C).
• Pour the barbeque sauce over the browned pork shoulder, cover tightly with foil and return to the oven for 2 hours to slowly braise in the sauce. The roast is finished when it is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 180˚F (80˚C).
(Use meat thermometer to check.) The meat should pull apart with little or no resistance.
• Allow the pork to cool, still covered in foil, in the sauce so that you can handle it comfortably. When the pork is cool, remove it from the sauce and pull it apart into pieces. Mix the pork pieces back into the sauce and gently reheat in the oven.
• To serve, place the pulled meat mixture on a fresh baguette or toasted kaiser, or roll in a soft tortilla wrap. If you don’t want it as a sandwich, it is great with some mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables.
• You may need to remove any excess sauce.

You don’t get a world-class reputation for the best food without having access to the best ingredients. Thanks to our culture in farming, our reputation is earned.
On Prince Edward Island, generations of Islanders grew up on the family farm, passing its traditions down through the years. It’s not uncommon to see two or three generations of the same family working together growing crops or raising livestock.
And we’re proud of our roots.
Warm Blueberry Brown Butter Cake
INGREDIENTS½ lb butter, browned1 ½ cups sugar4 eggs1 tsp pure vanilla extract¾ cup flour2 cups fresh blueberries1 tsp cardamom⅓⅓ cup pecans, choppedpinch of salt
METHODPreheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C). In a large bowl combine the cooled brown butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined. Fold in flour, blueberries, cardamom, pecans and salt.
In well greased 3oz ceramic ramekins, pour in batter until ¾ full and place on a cookie sheet. Place in preheated oven and cook for 25 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean when these cakes are done.
Give a quick once around with a paring knife to ensure they pop out. Turn out on a wire rack and allow to cool slightly. This individually served cake is best served warm with a generous dollop of whipped cream, doused with maple syrup.

Points East Coastal Drive
After you watch the sun rise over the ocean, work up an appetite as you play on beaches among the best on PEI. Have the sand at Basin Head actually “sing to you”, or discover the spectacular dune system at the PEI National Park at Greenwich.
When hunger does hit, family eateries, cozy country inns, fish & chip restaurants, or
dairy bars are likely a hop away. If you’re looking for something to sip on instead, Points East Coastal Drive is also the wine and spirit capital of Prince Edward Island!
The atmosphere is informal, and you’ll feel like one of the family in no time as you explore the culinary communities “Down East”.
Nothing will make you appreciate Island Food more than our beautiful scenery. Nowhere is this more apparent than when you visit Points East Coastal Drive.
