806.0. "Need French Canadian Recipes for Birthday Party." by AWECIM::MELANSON () Tue Mar 15 1994 14:00

There's a 65th birthday planned for my father-in-law sometime next month.  So
I was looking for alot of french canadian dishes/appetizers to serve.  We'll be
having around 30-40 attending.  Does someone know what kind of food to serve ?

Thanks

La graise de routi!!!

That's what you make when you cook a pork roast, take the juices from the roast
and place in a large bowl. You add some gelatine and place in the fridge. A few
hours later you basically have pork jello with a layer of fat resting on top.

You typically eat this with toast. You take some of the fat and spread it like
butter. Then you put some of the gelled (SP?) stuff on top. Beleive me, it's
really good. 

BTW, can't you just feel you arteries clogging up?

    My french-only-speaking Grandmother used to serve ragout de boulettes
    (meatball stew), pates de cochons (pig's feet) and sugar pie (yumm!).
806.7here is one recipeKAOFS::J_DESROSIERSLets procrastinate....tomorrowWed Mar 16 1994 12:55115
    This is a recipe for Cip�te, so called because the original recipe had
    meat separated by layers of dough (six-p�te).  I made this last
    christmass for 11 people in a BIG pot (15" diam x 10" high) nedless to
    say I had some left over.  If you have trouble with the french terms,
    drop me a line.

    PS "traditional" dishes: tourti�re, pork roast with brown potatoes,
    rago�t de pattes de porc, f�ves au lard... many of those dishes were
    very rich in calories and fat because in those days, people worked VERY
    hard and also the meat cuts were not the best (pigs feet??? yuck!)
    because people were also very poor.  And NO, poutine is not a
    traditional dish, neither is pepsi or hot dogs.
    
    I have the following on line if you are interested:

Ever heard of "Pouding Chaumeur" or is it "Pouding Chaumiere"?  My mother 
used to make a lot of it when I was a kid.  I believe it's a traditional 
Quebec dessert.  Sorry I don't have a recipe.

806.11make some "ploye" make some "ploye"VSSTEG::SYLVAIND� do run-runThu Mar 17 1994 09:337

	From the New Brunswick/ Northern Maine we have
"ploye" which is buckwheat flour pancake.  Excellent
as a bread substitue.  I make them all the time.  It is
now available in the grocery stores in Maine/New Hampshire.

You must not be a real Quebecker.  Pouding au pain, where I come from (en 
Abitibi) is exactly what you described above with some cinnamon mixed in.  
Pouding ch�meur is different.  It's more like a maple syrup mix with baking 
dough on top, baked in the oven.

They're both good but I prefer Pouding ch�meur which they sometimes serve in 
the Hull cafeteria.

Good English food! (Seriously Bread Pudding is extremely popular in England!)
806.15Pied de cochon (a la St Menehoulde ?)LEMAN::DZIALOWSKIThu Mar 17 1994 14:0810
    Pates de cochon = Pig Noodles or Pig Pasta
    Pattes de cochon = Pig legs
    Pied de cochon = pig knuckles aka pig foot (I assume that is what your 
    Gram meant). That is a delicacy that has driven the famous Quebec
    "chanteuse", singer and songwriter Bessie Smith to produce a great song
    celebrating it: "Gimme a pigfoot'n'a glass'o beer". Great recording
    with the famous Quebecois band of Fletcher Henderson (or was it King
    Oliver, from Ottawa I think ?)

    Excuse moi Mario, c'est mon erreur tu as compl�tement raison, le
    pouding ch�meur, c'est bien du g�teau avec une sauce au sucre (ou bien
    avec du sucre d'�rable).
