Ingredient appreciation — what makes Split Pea Soup special

What sets Split Pea Soup apart is the handling of wild blueberry. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the fresh and clean result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

poutine emerged from Quebec rural diners in the 1950s and became Canada's most internationally recognised dish. The an east coast seafood shack atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had maple latte as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Split Pea Soup is the place to start.
