tortiere. it's a french-canadian meat pie, and i can get the recipe from my grandma tonight. when she used to whip up a couple of batches, our family would literally fight over the last ones.

Yeah got a chargrill in the kitchen, How does that work

Cedar, Maple and Alderwood grilling planks - You will need 1 15-inch maple ( or other ) plank that has been soaked in water for at least one hour. (Soaking time is not included in the recipe.)
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
24 ounces salmon fillets
2 teaspoons maple syrup

4 servings

25 minutes 10 mins prep

Cool sounds great I'll definatly give that one a go.

James Buchan · « **Reply #11 on:** September 08, 2005, 11:59:05 AM »

Do a search on the net as there are lots of variations - another search would be for Bannock or other west coast native dishes - there is some really nice stuff.

Just a thought, we had some awesome breakfasts when we were there, would I be right in saying that it's eggs,back or streaky bacon, hash browns and pancakes and syrup all on one plate?? sounds good to me.

James You hit the nail on the head for the non fish eaters like myself. Poutine is where its at. Have it with a buffalo Burger

I love cookin' cept Cindy doesn't usually eat what I make as she likes her dinners on the overdone side.

Okay I get the idea, we have a similar thing here.

Thanks guys great response and some great ideas, a couple of the chefs I talked to today figured it would be cool to dress up and serve some of the food, should be a hoot, I'll let you know how I get on.
