Cold Frikadeller on Mt. Norman, Pender Island for Sunday Lunch
Koda and I took a walk up Mt. Norman on South Pender Island last week. The new viewpoint is a lovely place to have a picnic lunch…an open-faced sandwich with cold frikadeller, lettuce, red pepper, crispy fried onions and mayo on MBM’s Seedy Light Rye.
Frikadeller? It’s a Danish cross between a meatloaf and a meatball, you pronounce it much differently than it’s spelled, and it makes probably the best meatloaf/meatball style sandwich in the universe.
A sandwich worthy of the view:
Don’t mind the absence of the Dooze (Koda) in these photos. He conked out for a nap right after we got to the top.
I sat on the rough cedar benches, drank in the sun and munched happily on my mini smorgasbord. I quenched my thirst with a half a Merridale Cyser Cider…STRONG and refreshing…a perfect picnic lunch after a long walk up.
I am dying of envy. We went to B.C. a few years ago and it was awesome. The views in your photos are incredible. We live in ugly Toronto.
When I have time I’m going to send you my recipe for South African frikkadels (as you probably know, many S. Africans are descended from Dutch settlers). They have pretty unique spicing.
I’d love to get a peek at that South African frikkadels recipe, Denise! My husband spent a few years in South Africa, and I know he would love to try them! Theresa
I love that you hiked up Mt Norman with a chine plate, napkin and wine glass to dress up your lunch… you are a true Foodie.
I`ll do anything for a pic…almost.
