Deebye, if you are reading this still - when/if you drive through the town of Wiarton, check out the small butcher shop called Sullivans (on the main street) for their sausages and smoked bacon.I will be stopping on my way home from our Thanksgiving gathering to collect a sufficient supply of both to get us through the winter.
I haven't checked this thread in awhile. Sorry for the late response.
Unfortunately I don't have any chances to just "drive through" Wiarton from London, and it looks like it would be a 2.5 hour drive if I went there directly. Stupid Bruce Peninsula, leading to nowhere.
My ultimate dream is to live within walking distance of a butcher, a baker, and a fruit and vegetable place. I remember when I was a child in elementary school, I lived close enough to school that I would come home for lunch. My dad also worked in a bank close enough that he would walk home for lunch as well. As fate would have it, a bakery was on his route home. Every day he would stop by on his way home for lunch and buy a freshly-baked loaf of bread, and my mom would have cold cuts/egg salad/tuna salad and other stuff ready for us to make awesome sandwiches for lunch. I remember the bread being still warm and having the most amazing smell.
