Does anyone have a recipe for making Caribou? I have a bottle but do not want to drink it just yet, unless I must! I would really appreciate a respose. Thank you.
I don't have any, but whenever I need a recipe, I always check online, there should be something listed. I was just lusting after some venison stew today myself :)
That's a tough one because there are several variations. Generally speaking, it is a mixture of red wine (porto) and whisky or brandy.
A mixture we used to prepare when I was young(er) was porto, 3 parts, cognac, 2 parts and a bit of maple syrup.
Haha I feel like an idiot now! (blushing)
You can see the Chateau Frontenac (Frontenac Castle) from almost everywhere in Quebec. There's no way you'll miss it. It's so gigantic, beautiful, and elegant that I couldn't stop taking pictures of it... A little bit like the Ponte Vecchio in Florence =P
I remember being very impressive with the green spaces in Vancouver and the ability to escape in Stanley Park so very close to the city, well Quebec has an equally impressive site.
Right in the middle of the city is Battlefield Park and 15 km of trails are laid out for the benefit of cross-country skiers, beginners or intermediate. There is also a ski skating course. A ski waxing room and a heated relay are also at your disposal.
Here I took some quick pictures, so just because you might be coming to Quebec for business don't be afraid to take your skiis!
As you probably already knew, French is the lingua franca of Quebec City. Yet because this is such a tourist destination, most people are bilingual or at least very good at English. However, out of courtesy, it's always best to know a few French phrases. Politeness always scores you good tourist points.
Being the provincial and cultural capital of the province, this is the heart of French Canada, and also heart of the now-dormant separation issue. Although you're not probably likely to hear much talk about separation on the streets right now, lots of tourists have interest in the topic. When I was in the province, I did find myself asking a few people about their opinions on the topic. It's not exactly a scientific poll, but I did find that the people I at least talked to in Montreal were general against separation, while in Quebec City, opinion seemed to be more in the pro camp. The last separation vote in 1995 lost by less than 1%--almost as close as you could get in an election.
If you're interested politically in the deeper ramifications of Quebec separation, contact the Bloc Quebecois, a federal party which generally does support separation. The more Leftist and provincial Parti Quebecois represent pro-separation sentiment in the provincial legislature. Or for the other point of view, contact either the Liberal or Progessive Conservative parties, who both strongly support federalism and thus Quebec staying within Canada.
Ice fishing is fun!
You dig a hole with a drill in the ice, put your line and wait for fish to come!
St-Anne-de-la-perade has a few 10's of thousands visitors every year for ice fishing, but you can do it everywhere where Ice is thick enough!
We even build temporary Ice fishing villages on Ice!
When you get to Carnaval you will see that the events are a little spread out around the city, the entire city is really in Carnaval mode.
But I want to highlight you to Place D'Youville or Quebec Hydro Place as the sponsor in 2005.
This is where there is public skating and in 2005 I missed the Calgary Flap Jack Breakfast.
But as you can see from this picture it is a beautiful area during the night time to visit, with all the lights and ambiance of the Carnival.
You can rent skates there as well if you don't have any.
