TABLE HOPPING

IKE ITS Prairie pro-

vince namesake, the

Saskatchewan restau-
rant carries on quietly filling
the breadbaskets of hungry
Canadians.

The breadbaskets filled by the

restaurant legacy from Expo 86's

. Saskatchewan pavilion are now
mostly those of North Shore resi-
dents, which are as demanding as
any across this great country.

And the food served by the
Saskatchewan — whose full name
is long enough in itself to work up
an appetite when repeated more
than twice — remains the heavy

belly- plugging fare that helped

* tame a wild young Canada and
continues to fuel the great human
engine of this land from sea to
shining sea: meat, mashed
potatoes, gravy, a bit o veg, and a
whopping helping of Mom's pie —
a fa mode for the city folk.

This is food to be dished out
with big spoons upon big plates
and tucked inte with sleeves rolled
up over tattoos and calloused
fingers tugging upon frayed

- suspenders.
No flambes, nouveaux cuisines
. or heart-smart geegaws from this
kitchen.

It’s food the way-the Saskat-
chewan has been doling it cut
since it moved into the Park Royal
South mall location after its suc-
cessful stint at the equally suc-
cessful Expo 86 fair. .

The restaurant’s menu has re-
mained as steady as Saskatchewan

' itself and as consistent as the fine
of plates loaded and dispatched
from the restaurant’s kitchen over
the past five years.

There are three main Saskat-
chewan entrees: Fowl Supper
($10.95, for turkey with ail the
trimmings); Roast Beef Dinner
(also $10.95 and also with a whole
lot of trimmings); and Perogies,

and Banana Meringue pies at West Vancouver’s Saskatchewan

Restaurant.

Cabbage Rolls and Kobassa (again
$10.95, for a dinner that will wres-
ile any appetite to the mat in three
out of four falls).

The above prices have risen $1
over the past five years.

That's eoskatchewan Style.

But it might not not be
everybody’s style.

Big food is, after all, not at the
top of everyone's dining list. The
Saskatchewan, therefore, provides
those diners with less robust ap-
petites an A !a Carte selection that
ranges from Tossed Greens ($2.95)
through Prairie Burger ($3.50) and
on to Clubhouse Sandwich with
salad ($5.95).

But back to The Big Three.

A recently sampled Perogies,

beside two fist-sized cabbage rolls
and two thick halves of slightly
spicy Kobassa sausage.

Sour cream was supplied for the
perogies, which were tender and
filling. The cabbage rolls, mean-
while, were topped with stewed
tomatoes and stuffed with ground
meat, rice, onions and just the
cight amount of savory spices.

The combination provided solid
internal fortification against the fast
approaching winter.
