haha I knew you must have some French Canadian background if that is a family tradition. Delicious. One of the things I find interesting about the dish is that it is really a concept and not a particular recipe. Any meat can be used. Or even a mix. Most times I have had it was after a friend bagged a moose, bear, deer, duck, goose, etc. So I pretty much associate it with hunted game meat and special occasions.

Oh neat...I've read that you can use almost any kind of meat, but we've always used pork for whatever reason. I think this recipe goes back to at least my great-grandmother. They were from Montreal, so probably weren't big hunters by this point (is my guess).
