2019 New Brunswick - part 19, why "new," an unusual food, more picture signs - Travel With Us

As we leave New Brunswick, we still had a question: why the addition of “new”? So again to the internet for answers. The original, old, Brunswick was from the area in Germany where King George III (the English king during the American Revolution time) was descended. This German town was called Braunschweig, which means “brown,” and the English word “wick” means “village.” Now we know. Then there’s this package of food that we saw and just had to try.

It’s dried seaweed. The woman we bought it from said to put it in the freezer for a while so it would get crispy. We tried her suggestion and nibbled at it. She said it was an acquired taste, and I think it would take us years to acquire a taste for it.

The people in New Brunswick have been so nice to talk to. Even the drivers were friendly, letting us in instead of cutting us off. Lovely place to be!
