LA MALBAIE, Que. — The world leaders and dignitaries assembled for the G7 summit in La Malbaie will be dining on a few local specialties including Charlevoix duck and quail eggs — along with Canadian maple leaves and a lichen called caribou moss.
The three meals hosted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau draw heavily on ingredients from the host region, including quail eggs from nearby Baie-Saint-Paul, organic meats and Charlevoix mushrooms.
On Friday, a working lunch at the Manoir Richelieu will feature Arctic char escabeche perfumed with Labrador tea and a buckwheat salad with red apple, rhubarb, and balsam fir spiral.
That will be followed by veal and a dessert described as a “haskap berry and cedar snowball,” with northern saffron creme anglaise.
