I think you're going to find this on alot of white table cloth menus in the next year or two. I had tortillas made from Red Fife last year at Michael Stadtlander's farm, they were made by Kevin from Globe Bistro(toronto) and stuffed with ground Elk, corn and potato. There was a tomatillo sauce with them. Ever since that moment I have been playing with Red Fife wheat! It makes tasty pancakes when mixed with a soft whole wheat, a bit of Spelt or Buckwheat - but not too much. Making the tortillas is much trickier, and the bread, worth it to do by hand. Long live Red Fife! Thanks for the nice little blurb on Red Fife! I think you’re going to find this on alot of white table cloth menus in the next year or two.

I bought a bag of Red Fife wheat at Pioneer Village in northern Toronto on Sunday and loved the bread that it produced. I bought it mainly because it was introduced into Peterborough through Scotland, and Ontario was first in planting in what is now Canada. Peterborough was my birth place and I don't remember ever reading or hearing of Red Fife. Typical of Canada. I am wondering if the seeds of today have been altered at all from 1840, or are they original? Sincerely, Dorothy Partridge I enjoyed the story of the wheat that you presented.
