A recent post for Tenth to the Fraser got me thinking: what does the city where I spend most of my time, Port Moody, inspire me to eat?
For some reason the first thing that I want to reach for when I think of Port Moody is some Vitamin Water! People are always running on the sidewalks. And if you think that’s not hard enough, I see people trail running in the mountains, cycling uphill, and doing things that make me feel sporty just watching. Needless to say fruits, vegetables, seafood, and anything “healthy” is abound in this city. Which makes me wonder: why am I living here given my love for chocolate, ice cream, and everything opposite of healthy? Must find a city that considers cookies an essential food group.
Sigh.
So living in Port Moody I feel inspired to go to the farmer’s market weekly and eat my salad daily. Plus, the stream of Port Moody tweets regarding locally sourced foods, gardening, and composting seems never ending. Which reminds me, I need to go take care of my sourdough starter now.
What are your thoughts? How does your city inspire your food choices?
Also, if you live in a city that inspires chocolate as lunch of choice, please let me know.
For me it’s Pajo’s in Rocky Point Park, or the sandwiches at the Gallery Bistro, or the Kettle Corn from the farmer’s market. So much more to explore now that the sun is out!
