Long considered a source of vitamins and minerals by Maritimers, dulse are just down right tasty. Any one who grew up next to the ocean, has memories of drying dulse next to a bonfire while cooking a can of periwinkles. Every time cousin San visits the east coast, she stops at the Saint John City Market for a feed of dulse.
A few years back we sent a large bag of dulse to her in Arizona as a surprise Christmas gift. We were surprised when the parcel was never delivered. I suspect the package is still sitting somewheres in a customs warehouse. Can’t you imagine a U.S. customs officer scratching his head wondering why anyone would mail sea weed as a present.
On Saturday she was very happy to find freshly cured dulse for sale at the Moncton Farmer’s market.
We dined at Harvey’s, our favourite hamburger place, but didn’t order poutine. Maybe next time
Hey San, You look great with that dulse hanging out of your mouth! I remember you and Auntie Midge eating dulse out at the cottage. I guess the closest I get to eating it is when I eat sushi. When living in Victoria you would always see Chinese women down at the beach collecting and drying dulse on the rocks. Hope to see you sometime soon. Love Janet
