missing the taste of home in nova scotia

I spent the whole morning wandering around Nova Scotia, hoping to find a spot that would remind me of the cozy diners back home. You know, the kind where the coffee is always hot and the pancakes taste like someone’s grandma made them. After searching for nearly an hour, I finally stumbled upon a little café tucked away on a quiet street. The sign outside promised 'homestyle cooking,' so I went in with high hopes. But here’s the thing: the place looked perfect, but the food just didn’t hit the spot. The eggs were a bit runny, and the toast wasn’t even buttered all the way to the edges. I couldn’t help but wonder—am I just being picky, or is it really this hard to find a place that feels like home when you’re so far away? Has anyone else found a diner in Nova Scotia (or anywhere in Canada) that actually gets it right? Or is it just impossible to match those memories from back home? Sometimes I feel like I’m chasing a feeling that doesn’t exist anymore, and it’s a little frustrating. Anyone else ever feel this way when traveling? #homesick #novascotia #dinerlife #Travel
