We began our journey in a sooty and treacly old train carriage, with worn leather seating and corduroy curtains. As we worked towards the buffet carriage, we snacked on a mild chilli pepper. The heat didn’t linger, instead leaving a grape and black cherry juice.

Introducing water brought an aroma of cajun-seasoned french fries, almonds and sweet Spanish onions atop poutine. Wintergreen and peppermint offered a refreshing coolness to the palate, usurped shortly after by turmeric-roasted garbanzo beans, dried mango, apples and cinnamon.- *- Giving Spirit bottle – 100% of SMWS Canada’s profits from the sales of this bottle will go to charity; read more about the- Giving Spirit– program here.
