- Without a country, what defines a people? Simon Thibault takes us to his Acadia, where family and homely food give a sense of place.
Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean
Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.
- Evangeline, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The first film from our adventures in Nova Scotia takes a whimsical path to Acadia through the eyes of cookbook author Simon Thibault who celebrates the perseverance of food culture despite a history of hardship and "being dispersed, but still fervently of where you are."

Found that my husband's roots go back to Acadia. They were refugees in Massachusetts after the Great Upheaval and then resettled in Quebec. Surname: LeBlanc
All LeBlancs and North America can trace their ancestors back to one couple in the 1600's.

Was it Daniel LeBlanc? 1671 census has him at Port Royal: farmer age 45, his wife Francoise age 48, seven children: Francoise 18 married, Jacques 20, Estienne 15, Rene 14, Andre 12, Antoine 9, Pierre 7, 18 cattle, 26 sheep, and 10 arpents of land.
@@EdinburghFive That is my side of the family. Leblanc's and Landry.
I'm Cajun. My mother's side from is from St. Landry, New Orleans, and Calcasieu. Wow, same culture but the food is a little different. Agree.on being the first to say "I'm Cajun". I remember not wanting to say that.,
Go visit your cousins in Canada. They will greet you with open arms!
Hello to my cousins from Davison Michigan.
Hello to my cousins from Detroit MI 😊
Informative and poetic! Bravo sir!!
My family left and went to Quebec and would eventually settle in Essex County.
What a lovely little video. Warm and touching...just like the food. (excellent production by the way!)
Nicely done. My great grandmother and those that came before were Acadian. I am Acadian, but only now learning what that means.
I’m adopted. Found out I’m Acadian on my Father’s side from the sunnyside settlement in New Brunswick (Furlotte, LeBlanc, Guitard are my many surnames) my mother is from Montreal but is of Scottish descent
What a nice albeit short video! I really enjoyed watching this. Well done!
It's been more than 15 years since I live in Meteghan, but the minute you mentioned Roadside Dinner, I missed their Coque et Frites and now I'm jonesing
This video does such a good job explaining this! Makes us want to come back to Nova Scotia (when we can of course!) Great storytelling!
Yes, definitely worth it! If you go, take the time to visit the other Acadian communities in Nova Scotia and in Prince Edward Island.
Good to know about Acadians through this video!
Hello cousin! My Mémère was Thibault, and the youngest of 16 children. They relocated to Sanford, ME, and then to RI with my Pépère.
I’d like to see the homeland one day.
A Poirier here. My ancestor, Sebastien, survived the massacre at St-Anne's.
Great video. I have Acadian ancestry.
Love Acadian meat pies and stews.
Great video.
It should be noted Acadians had taken the oath but with a negotiated caveat of neutrality. In 1755 it changed. The British colonial administration wanted an unqualified oath, and it was this form of oath the Acadians refused.
We are dispersed! Born in Louisianian, now live in Missouri.
Could someone tell me the song that starts playing at 1:57? The one he puts on the record player? I have tried EVERYTHING to find it, im talking shazaam, pausing the video, googling what i THINK are the lyrics-- I'd appreciate any help haha
I am Acadian too..to much of the culture has been lost
Say whuuuu
