OINK!!
It has been a bit since my last post but never fear I will always be eating. This time I went opposite of the vegetarian meal and went down to a place just West of Bathurst on Dundas called Hoof Cafe. Basically it has a bunch of pork on the menu with unique items.
But first I would like to talk a little about that decor. Awesome hanging lights in jars created a little light but not much was needed as the place was really small and intimate with large plate glass windows stretching from one end to that other. The menu was on a chalk board (presumably because it changes depending on the ingredients they have on hand) and it is all interesting items including pigs tails and grits and bone marrow donuts (served only on weekend and in limited orders).
On to the food. The 3 of us stared with the bone marrow donuts which I was sceptical about but after I tasted one I was convinced. Sugar coated outside and with a strawberry jam on the inside, the marrow gave the dough a denser and juicer texture and taste. my meal was the ploughman and that included 4 or 5 different kings of pork as well as tongue and a soft cheese with bread and a pickle. Each of the different types of meat had its own distinct flavour while all bringing it back to the pork family. Not a huge fan of the tongue but still good to try it. mixed with the cheese and bread it worked out well. Oh and there was a block of fresh pate on my plate that was 8 times better than the package kinds (for the record I still like the package types).
This place was awesome and it really expanded my thinking of what can be done with pork for lunch. so many different things I wanted to try and wondered what they could come up with next as the changing menu is diverse.
Check this place out for a good brunch!!
