Ever since the French settled Québec they have traditionally celebrated with food, wine and song just before the Catholic period of Lent, a time when religious customs suggest abstaining from alcohol and other temptations. Be prepared for locals to offer you the infamous mixture Caribou, a hot alcoholic drink containing brandy, vodka, sherry, port and sometimes maple sugar. Watch it – it’s as potent as it sounds.
