I had time to look for my pork pie recipe.

1 pound of ground pork
1 pound of ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1-2 teaspoons allspice, or to taste
mashed potatoes
pie crust

Sauté the onion, then brown the meat. Mix all the ingredients together, adding just enough mashed potatoes to bind the meat together. Line pie pan with pie crust, put meat mixture in and cover with another pie crust.

Bake at 350 for an hour.

Now that I have the recipe out, I have to make it.

Well no secret but up here would be
" Donairs " , that I have posted here before and the recipe for it .

But i have also mentioned Rappie Pie
Very Frenh Canadian . Still some Acadian areas here in Nova Scotia with some fantastic foods.
And I have had this with chicken as there are a few different ways to make.

Took me a long time to try it as it really did not look good the first few times I saw it.
But I finally tried it after I watched it being made by some friends from the Clair ( Digby ) area of NS.

" Rappie Pie "
This Acadian layered casserole from Nova Scotia consists of grated potatoes interspersed with layers of pork fat and either meat (ground beef, pork, or chicken) or seafood (clams,scallops). The pie is then baked until it develops a golden brown color. It is usually garnished with butter or molasses before serving. Interestingly, the pie is derived from the phrase pâte à la râpure, meaning grated pie, referring to its key ingredient, grated potatoes.

Rappie pie sounds similar to pork pie, except it uses mashed potatoes. I wonder if it's been Americanized, like a lot of ethnic foods are.

My MIL is from Quebec and meat pie was a holiday tradition in her house(RIP). My wife still carries on that tradition for our family. Poutine is another French/Canadian dish although not classified as a holiday dish. We enjoyed it year round.

My grandparents on my fathers side were from Norway, and although we didn't eat a lot of fish(dad was sick of fish) we did celebrate the new year with pickled herring and lox.

My area isn't well known for cuisine, we're more into cocktails. So....here is the official state cocktail for Wisconsin: The Brandy Old Fashioned Sour.

In a rocks glass muddle a sugar cube, a Luxardo cherry with a spoonful of the syrup, a slice of orange (do NOT muddle the rind, just the flesh of the fruit), and 2 dashes of angostura bitters.

Fill glass 3/4 full with ice and add 2 oz KORBEL brandy. It must be Korbel, anything else makes the spirit of Vince Lombardi cry.

Top off to full with Jolly Good Sour Power...if you can't find that, Squirt will work in a pinch.

Garnish with another Luxardo cherry.

It should look like this when done:
