Vancouver - the food - part 1

Our first meal in North America was breakfast at Canada Place in Vancouver...lesson number one - people were not joking about the size of servings here. I mean come on thats completely ridiculous! Particularly after a complete lack of sleep...

After some much needed sleep....J and I walked down to Gastown and had our first meal at Beer Heaven - aka the Bitter Tasting Room. Lets just say this place made J very happy and would make a meat eater even happier. J tasted a number of beers from BC (Switchback, Whiteback and Baldwin and Cooper), while I indulged in a lovely glass of Joie Riesling. Thankfully for me alongside beer and meatie goodness, this place offered some great vegie snacks. We had some Devilled Eggs and an amazing Fried Green Onion Polenta with White Bean Puree. Wow. What a start to foodie holiday adventures.


















































































After dinner snacks...yay I am back in the land of cheddar popcorn, cranberry juice and lots of little sushi stores...




















 



Yesterday we visited Granville Island....foodie heaven. Yum...I will dream about this place for months...

















































 Lunch was great too...and what do you know...more beer to taste...this holiday is going to be tough for J.
































Chocolates from Granville Island....















Nachos from the pub...reminder that serving sizes are ridiculous!
