Brenda's Story: Pulla Bread
Channel: Back Lane Studios
Date: 2021-01-23

As part of our most recent project, We Are What We Ate, Brenda Gravelle remembers the delicious cardamom-flavoured Finnish coffee bread, or pulla, her Mummo (grandmother) coaxed from the old wood stove in a remote "station house" along the Algoma Central Railway tracks in northern Ontario. She also describes the unique way her Mummo ordered groceries in the middle of the wilderness. The We are What We Ate food and memory project has been supported in part by the Canadian government's New Horizon for Seniors Program.
