Quebec Regional Dishes?!?

of course there is poutine (french fries with brown sauce, and cheese curds)

there is also tourtiere (which is meat pie, a traditional dish at Christmas)

Also at Christmas there is the Buche de Noel - the Christmas log cake.

at the sugar shack, they ususally serve eggss, pancakes (crepes), as well as tourtiere, des oreilles de crisse (basically fried pieces of pork fat... way more gross than bacon), and of course baked beans... and the syrup. Of course the tire a l'erable, which is when they pour heated condensed syrup on the snow, and you roll it up with a stick. Sort of like a warm maple toffee popsicle.

Quebecois pea soup is also famous.

There is cretons, which is a meat spread made of ground pork, onion and spices. Usually people eat this with toast at breakfast.

We also have several cheeses in Quebec.. my favourite is Oka, which was traditionally made by the trappist monks in the village that bears the same name.

Also a few others: Migneron de Charlevoix, Pied-De-Vent from the Îles de la Madeleine, Coureur des Bois from Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly, Riopelle de l'Île from Île aux Grues, Diable aux Vaches from Mont-Laurier, Fumirolle from Côte de Beaupré, Sieur Corbeau des Laurentides, and Tarapatapom from Knowlton are just a few examples.

In Montreal, we are known for our delicious smoked meat, and bagels. If you haven't had a Montreal bagel, then you don't really know bagels. They are more dense in texture than what is usually served as 'bagels' elswhere.

Of course, the Lac-St-Jean region is known for its blueberries. As a result, people from that region are often referred to as 'bleuets' or blueberries.

How could you forget POUTINE?

Which I obviously LOVE.

:)

Tourtières are also another favourite (meat pie)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_Quebec Quebec is most famous for its tourtières, pea soup, baked beans, cretons, ham dishes, boulettes, stew of pig legs, maple desserts and St. Catherine's taffy. The temps des sucres (sugar season) is one of the oldest of Quebec culinary traditions. During springtime, many Quebecers go to cabanes à sucre (sugar shacks) for a traditional meal that features eggs, baked beans, ham, oreilles de Christ, and bacon, which they then cover in maple syrup. Associated activities are a horse-drawn sleigh ride in the woods and tire sur la neige- boiled maple syrup dribbled over snow, which then hardens, and is eaten as a treat.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine Poutine (pronounced, roughly, poo-teen, or poo-tin; exact Québécois pronunciation in IPA [pʊʦɪn] — listen to it in .wav format) is a dish consisting of french fries topped with fresh cheese curds and covered with hot gravy (usually brown gravy) and sometimes other additional ingredients. The curds' freshness is important as it makes them soft in the warm fries, without completely melting.

Additional to above answers: Montréal smoked meat!!!!!!!!!

There is also a Gaspiese recipe for chowder. Unlike New England chowder it lacks onions and bacon or salt pork rendering (I prefer the New England).

We also eat horsemeat here, but that is more of a French thing than purely Quebecois.

Poutine!!!!! French fries topped with cheese curds and smothered in gravy.
