806.0. "Need French Canadian Recipes for Birthday Party." by AWECIM::MELANSON () Tue Mar 15 1994 17:00

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?

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::SYLVAINThu Mar 17 1994 12:337

	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.

806.15Pied de cochon (a la St Menehoulde ?)LEMAN::DZIALOWSKIThu Mar 17 1994 17:0810
    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 ?)
