Commentary on Wild Garlic of Gaspegewaq

Hi folks. Was on the road for most of the day. I travelled from Burnt Church to Fredericton and from Fredericton to Moncton and from Monction straight on through to Charlottetown. Whew, what a day! I have to tell you though while there was light i saw alot of great sights between Newcastle and Fredericton. Hey, who says New Brunswick is a pass-through province! Alot of fall colors. It was just great. For most part of the trip i kept thinking of food in particular wild garlic. Apparently there is wild garlic in New Brunswick. This is fantastic. Not sure if i will be finding wild garlic anytime soon this year but it is high on my list for next year's explorations. I think i will start in the Pabineau area. When we talk of traditional foods it is important to include plants such as this..to be reintroduce back into our diets. Something to think about. Incidently, Gaspegewaq is the unceded traditional territory of the Mikmaq. It is the land commonly referred to as north-eastern New Brunswick and the Gaspe Peninsula.
