Or as the Québécois call ‘em, Tourtière. This is 10 pounds of hamburg and pork. Once the potatoes are cut in this is gonna make 8 or so pies that’ll be frozen and enjoyed all winter.

It’s been a while that I’ve haven’t enjoyed a tourtière! Mainly because we always buy it premade and they all sucked. I need to do mine one day.

We usually do a meat pie day when all the aunts and cousins and moms in the family gather and just churn out pies all day and then everyone goes home with a bunch. That fell through this year so I’m doing my own.

What spices do you use? My mom keeps trying various recipes, and they always seem a little odd. I’ve had some awesome tourtière at FdV a few years back but haven’t been able to replicate it.

My family uses salt, pepper, allspice, Bell’s seasoning, and all of the cinnamon in existence.

Mind dropping one off to my place here in NS? That sounds delicious! :)

Interesting. I think my mom always goes for more of an herbs sort of thing. What’s Bell’s seasoning?

It’s mostly for turkey and stuffing but it works very well in the meat pie.

wasn’t familiar with tourtière. Where I live, “meat pies” are either Levantine fatayer bi lahme :

or Cornish pasties:

It’s a traditional french canadian food. every region has its own recipe, coastal areas even use salmon.
