Pigeon Pie, You Say?
Borealia–one of the names proposed for Canada at Confederation, was the restaurant on the Ossington strip that regaled us last month with Canadian dishes dating back to the 17th century. It was an inspired event by the IWFS which quickly sold out. As attested by the smiles of pleasure all-round, this was a night to remember.
When was the last time you had mussels that Queen Bess might have sampled? Husband-and-wife owners Wayne Morris and Evelyn Wu researched innumerable recipes from First Nations and early immigrant sources to create a cooking repertoire worthy of Samuel de Champlain.

As we entered a rather cozy space with an early Canadian atmosphere, we were treated to delicious but also interesting appetizers–my favourite were the mock oysters, fried ever so gently and served with a perfect sparkling wine (NV Cuperly, Grand Cru Brut Réserve).
À table, as we sat four in intimate booths, the bread basket peaked our curiosity–next to the sliced sourdough bread was a dish of tangy butter dusted with caramelized onion powder–a hint of pleasant things to come! The first of our next few dishes–all in shareable portions, was a sort of ceviche à la canadienne–scallops marinated in apple cider vinegar, served with apple cider. The second was, in my view, the best of the lot–a dish of plump delicious mussels under a glass dome which, when lifted, seemed to dispel pine-scented smoke–aptly served with beer. However, the most exotic was the pigeon pie which–before you start eyeing the pigeons in your neighbourhood, was filled with dark squab meat, parsnips and fresh thyme. This last dish was paired with a smooth, nicely aged merlot (2004 Daniel Lenko Merlot Old Vines). We finished our repast with a glazed rutabaga tartlet in caramelized white chocolate (circa 1889) which bore the freshness and simplicity of yesteryear.
