Tulita New Year’s Eve Feast

Feast Season in Tulita, basically

December is Feast Season in Tulita. Various groups host community dinners for the whole town. The Band hosted Tulita’s New Year’s Eve feast this year. As a rare treat, this feast was Chinese food. Now, there’s nowhere in Tulita where you can purchase Chinese food, so for this feast, Chinese food was flown in from Yellowknife on the daily scheduled flight.

I have a theory that all northern towns use the same supplier for their Chinese food. The Chinese food from Yellowknife tastes exactly like the Chinese food in Fort Simpson, which apparently tastes exactly like the Chinese food in small towns all across northern BC. For city folks, it brings back memories of Chinese food from the late 20th century, when the general idea was to coat poor-quality meat with lots of fried dough and then dip it in brightly-coloured sugar sauces.
