Tourtière
Tourtière () is a French Canadian meat pie dish originating from the province of Quebec, made with minced pork, veal or beef and potatoes. Wild game meat such as bear or venison is sometimes used. It is a traditional part of the Christmas réveillon and New Year's Eve meal in Quebec. It is also popular in New Brunswick, and is sold in grocery stores across the rest of Canada all year long. Contrary to popular belief, the name "tourtière" is not derived from its filling, which is erroneously believed to originally have been the "tourte"—the French name for the passenger pigeon now extinct in Nor

It is not to be confused with "fromage de tête" (tête fromagée in Quebec), known in English as head cheese.
