Why BeaverTail deserves more attention

BeaverTail rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The rich and indulgent complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using maple syrup correctly takes real skill.

maple syrup production is a seasonal Quebec ritual celebrated at family sugar shacks. I encountered it first in an east coast seafood shack and that context helped me understand it properly. Molson Canadian is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, BeaverTail is the dish to start with.
