"turtle dove"...that the original French Canadian tourtiere was filled not with beef and pork, but with passenger pigeon...that it is basically a pigeon pie... what do you think?Crimson Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020190454645032359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-70813075379228990082010-11-29T15:49:24.596-08:002010-11-29T15:49:24.596-08:00Mmm ... my mom used to make tortiere.

I know in the Old Country they used to make almost flourless tortes out of ground almonds, but my frugal family would never have invested that much money in a cake, LOL. Stollen was about as fancy as it got.LutheranChikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685566332651377907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-10126783717567578082010-11-26T12:56:06.954-08:002010-11-26T12:56:06.954-08:00Oh, I love cherry pie, (and apple, and cranberry/...Oh, I love cherry pie, (and apple, and cranberry/apple/raisen and wild blueberry,) Skip the nuts.<br />Cake: it has to have stuff in it, meaning, fruit, raisens, dates, etc. No fluffy cake for me.
