Country: Canada
Type: Soft goat cheese
Peter (a co-worker of mine) and I like to call the Salt Spring Island goat cheese cups 'low carb pudding'. The cheese is a pretty standard soft goats cheese, slightly sour, slightly sweet, quite creamy. Today I'm having the Salt Spring Island cheese with olive oil and basil, it's pretty tasty, but I find the basil is hardly showing up on my palette.
There in the background of the picture are the exciting things for today... terrines! They are making in-house terrines at Janice Beaton's now, which is awesome. I had, from the top going clockwise; Duck with pistachio and cherry; Lamb Merguez, and Pate de Campagne. As much as I love pistachios and duck, I have to say my favourite of the three is the lamb. Quite lovely, a little spice to it. One comment I have about the terrines at Janice Beaton's is they are a bit dry, I think they need more fat in them... but I bet for the typical scared-of-fat customer it's just perfect.
