Nouvelle
France--Quand l'Amour Suivit à l'Histoire
L'époque (1758-61), riche en bouleversements, est à cheval entre l'effondrement de la Nouvelle-France et l'instauration du régime anglais. C'est <<un temps de toutes les passions>>. Inspirée de faits réels, l'histoire des amours tragiques d'une jeune paysanne du Bas Saint-Laurent et d'un audacieux aventurier se déroule ici à la manière d'une destinée inéluctable, en miroir d'une autre Histoire déjà écrite, celle de l'abandon du Canada par la France. Set against a sweeping historical fresque, the epic tale of a great love story thwarted by fortune and men's will. 1758-61: a turbulent period bridging the collapse of New France and the establishment of the British regime. An "era of passions". This tragic love story of a young peasant girl from the lower Saint Laurent River and a dashing adventurer is based on fact. As their passionate destiny advances inexorably, driven by fate, it mirrors another story that's already been written: France's abandon of Canada.

The Tourtière Connection:My father's old French dictionary was printed in Montreal in the 1870's. It has three intriguing clues::*"tourtiere": kitchen utensil which is used to bake the "tourtes" *"tourte": a kind of pastry filled with meat, fruits, etc. *"tourterelle":Ê a pigeon, smaller than the ordinary pigeon (In the mid-17th century, in late spring and early fall, hundreds of thousands of these "passenger pigeons" darkened the skies and filled the forests of northeastern North America during their seasonal migrations. Colonists shot and trapped them for their meat, eventually to extinction some time in the 1800's. --D.
Provencher Faucher
There are many
variations of the Tourtière and a search of the internet will lead
to many of these recipes.
