Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]tourtière (countable and uncountable, plural tourtières)
- (Canada, chiefly Quebec) A type of traditional French-Canadian meat pie, usually made with pork.
- 2018 November 30, Isabelle Bourgeault-Tassé, “How a family recipe taught me what’s at stake when Franco-Ontarians lose their roots”, in The Globe and Mail[3]:
- Last December, I called my mother to get her recipe for tourtière, a beloved traditional French-Canadian dish. It would be the meaningful heart of a bundle of gifts I had lovingly gathered to honour a Métis elder I had recently met. To share this recipe for tourtière was to share a piece of my family’s story with this elder, to whom I owed a great debt of gratitude.
