May 15, 2011 Fried Squirrels & Beaver Tales

Hazel Tubrett lived in Labrador for ten years. During that decade, she heard her former father-in-law tell many tales...stories of his childhood on the Labrador coast. How people lived, what they ate...how they survived.

Hazel never forgot those stories. And when she eventually met her partner Dan Stanford, a trapper, she put some of them to good use. In the kitchen.

In their cabin in central Newfoundland, there's always a pot on the stove...brimming with something delicious, and mysterious. Everything from squirrels, to bear soup, to beaver, to bear fat french fries...all culinary treats from the Labrador coast. Almost everything Dan Stanford traps ultimately ends up on Hazel Tubrett's supper table.

Welcome to Land and Sea

For more than thirty years Land and Sea has brought you stories from people who live off the land and the sea. We cover issues that affect people in rural communities which ultimately affect those in cities as well.

We bring you stories from those who celebrate life living close to nature, who promote and protect their culture and traditional ways of doing things. There are stories of success and sometime failures that portray the unique way Atlantic Canadians deal with the challenges and pleasures of living on the east coast.

Join us Sundays at 12 noon on CBC Television.
