Rooooaaadddd Trrriiipppp

 Yes, Foodie Pantry is finally taking a breather from food writing for a short time. It's on the road to Trenton and New Hope! There will be plenty to see and eat there.

New Hope Pennsylvania has farmer's markets and across the Delaware River in Lambertville there are four star restaurants.I am curious to see and eat at D'floret one of Lambertville's best.They feature French food and I am dying to try their wild mushroom and lobster crepe.Their dessert menu is pure haute patisserie with raspberry tart and with creme Anglaise and a creme brulee made with Tahitian vanilla. There is also The Hawke which features steaks in an Ninetteenth Century house,New Hope hosts The Dubliner which features authentic Anglo-Irish foods such as fish and chips and lamb stew. There will be so many to choose from.It should be an interesting where I wind up.There's also going to be a lunch trip as well. This could be a roadside stand offering burgers or someplace fancier featuring farm to table soups and sandwiches.

There is also the Trenton Food market right outside the Trenton Train Station. This has all sorts of fun stands and different dishes to sample.Of course this is also farm country with them on both sides of the Delaware.I.m hoping for farm fresh tomatoes and corn to bring back along with some fresh baked goods. Hunterdon County where Lamberville is and Bucks County where New Hope is located has dozens of farms and markets.If you're in the Philadelphia  or New York areas, drive down and see what they have to offer. There is nothing like the fresh peaches out right now and abundant on New Jersey farms. The same goes for corn. Buy a few ears .Use some for grilling while the others can be turned into a yummy corn chowder.Farms are also great for buying fresh herbs and plants so scoop up some for cooking sauces .

Yes, there's a road trip planned. Yes there will be pictures Monday. Saturday is traveling and tasting  so have a good weekend.
