Capers in Cape Cod

Leaving Bean Town behind, aka Boston, (and I thought Chicago was the Windy City!) and moving on to Cape Cod. Menus here are awash with seafood but I did manage a couple of lovely vegetarian meals.

In West Chatham they substituted the coriander blackened tuna for aubergine with chilled chilli lime lo mein noodles with snap peas, scallions, shimeji mushrooms, crispy wontons and gingered plum salsa. Heaven on a plate! This was after eating a delicious starter of pumpkin pasta. Definitely my best stateside meal.

In Provincetown I enjoyed a fabulous veggie toastie accompanied by cucumber spring water. The temperature was scorchio on the street but the delightful shady garden of Canteen leading on to the beach was a welcome retreat. Sitting around a communal table it was casual dining at its best. In the evening we stopped at Macs Shack in Wellfleet where I had (my first) Thai veggie sushi whilst the family tucked into oysters before watching the sun set by the harbour.

A more basic lunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwich with Cape Cod crisps and beer was just the energy booster needed for a cycle ride around Nantucket.
