Moose, deer, raccoon, bear. It's all good! This sounds really good, but hard to find in L.A.! Has anyone tried this with Bison? Going to the Farmers Market this weekend (rain pending) and would like to know. And to be a COMPLETE bore, how about the dreaded hamburger?

Traditional French Canadian Tourtiere

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2008

Hi Kathleen. This recipe probably comes the closest to the recipe that my grandmother told me about almost thirty years ago. Yours is the only one to have alspice in it that I've seen on the internet. My earliest and fondest memories was my Ma Mere making meat pies on Saturday mornings at 5 o'clock in preparation for the annual get together of the "family" on Saturday night. Meat pie was a weekend experience to sober up the men prior to driving home. Had it on Christmas, but never associated the pie with it. The "meat" that was left over went into plastic containers to be eaten on top of toasted bread with bananas in the morning. I'll try your Tourtiere to see how close it comes to my Grandmother's and hope it does! I've missed a good piece of meat pie for a very long time! Merci!
