When visitors go on a tour of Dundurn Castle, they'll usually be treated with cookies, fruits and veggies from the castle garden, pickles, jams, breads, etc. etc. All sorts of yummy things made from traditional recipes in our historic kitchen.
One of the many perks of actually working on site is that sometimes, the crazy old stove doesn't behave, and lightly scorches a big batch of shortbread - this means that instead of being served to the public, it is plopped on a plate in the staff room.
Imagine a thick, golden, crumbly slab of shortbread, the size of a large baking pan. Drool. Seriously, even slightly burnt, Dundurn shortbread is the best I've ever tasted. Scarfed it before I could take pictures, sorry.
