As a French Canadian, I love the representation of our culture on your channel. The grade could've been better, but I get it. It gets so cold here during the holidays that a meat and potatoes filling in a pie warms you so much 😊
That’s because you’re missing the very important ketchup maison!! It’s like a chutney, with tomatoes, onions, green & red peppers, vinegar and spices… No french Canadian home will serve a tourtière without a good homemade ketchup!!🇨🇦⚜️
@@zer0nix There’s a pretty unique soft drink that is traditional to Canada that I recommend : spruce beer. I believe that it’s also originally from Canada, it’s literally a Spruce tree infused soda and I personally love it. No alcohol in it, not a fermented drink (traditionally it is but now, these are mostly carbonated water with sugar and some tree extract).
As a Canadian I love seeing you represent our country and I realize it might be too meaty but we are all day in the snow at Christmas time so this tastes like heaven.
Tourtière recipes seem to vary wildly on the amount of spice added as well as the amount of fat/potatoes added to the filling. One side of my family made bland, dry toutière that I would avoid, while the other side's was richly scented with spices and had more pork lard and potatoes which made for a better filling. I'd echo as well that ketchup-like sauce, either homemade or store bought, is necessary to round out the dish. Thanks for showing off a bit of French Canadian holiday cheer! :)
@@VSTR17 I would love to try a Tourtière with seafood inside ! Do you have a special sauce to go with it because ketchup doesn’t mix well with seafood I think?
As a French Canadian, loved that you represented our small culture. I usually just put sage as a spice. Goes to show how eclectic the meal is from one family to the next.
As a Canadian I have never had this dish before, I probably would be eating Nanaimo bars. or I would be eating marshmallow squares or whatever they are called
(From Québec, Saguenay Lac-Saint-Jean) In reallity tourtière is the name of the bird that was used to make the dish, with others meat that was find in the wood. The bird is instinct now but we still use a mix of meat here, like deer or rabbit with beef and pork. The real tourtière its nothing like the video and if you show up with that here, everyone will be real mad. 😅 And its a "meat" meal because its was for lumberjack in the middle of the winter (-30 c°) the only thing that was available was potato and animals in the wood. Ho and just salt and pepper in it, not all those spices lol.
omg yay i love how you chose a dish from quebec ( i think its mostly from quebec ) the food culture is so different around the country but in quebec we for sure have a strong food culture involving meat hahahaha also saying tourtiere is quite controversial cause theirs the southern version of tourtiere and the saguenay / northern version of tourtiere one has potatoes and is in a deeper dish generally and the meat is cut in tiny cubes and the other is just a meat pie weirdly i had never seen this version of ground meat AND potatoes
"it was... decent" 😂 As a French Canadian, that comment made me laugh. Would've hopped it would score a bit higher on the list, but still really happy it was on the calendar! (I'm sure you would love the one my grandma does, so good and nostalgic 😊)
French here. I think there might also be a bit of a cultural bias there too. Not in the way you can't enjoy it if you're not canadian, but this kind of heavy food is huh. Well, very north american in its heaviness? I tasted it in Montreal. It was great. But without a salad, a raw onion, or anything sour/acid to clean the mouth, it was really too hard to eat as a single meal. Doesn't mean I won't try to make my own in Paris. The way the minced meat is cooked made it sooooo incredibly tender, I wanna know the secret 👀

I'm from Québec, Canada, and it's so nice to finally see one of our classic here! I gotta say tho, where I am from this recipe is called "Pâté à la viande" and for me, "tourtière" is what most quebecers call "cipaille", the tourtière version from Lac Saint-Jean! I would love to see you make this dish one day, and pro tip, it's delicious with ketchup! ;)
You guys seem to love ketchup. I love Canada and have always wanted to go there. I had a trip booked but Covid shut that down😢. Anyways. Love you guys!!
Many, if not most Anglophone Canadians, have never heard of or tasted tourtière. As a ‘Canayen’, I have had this many a time and no two tourtières are the same. In addition to the ingredients that you used, I would add a few herbs and some finely diced carrot and celery. However I have been doing mine vegan over the last few years. Bon temps des fêtes et joyeux Noël depuis l’Ontario français!
My grandmother used to make this for Christmas every year. I didn’t like it as a kid, even with lots of ketchup it was just too much meat. But she’s passed for many years now and find myself wanting some of her meat pie. I’ve found some recipes that I’ll try to surprise my mother with this Christmas.
I am in 9th grade now. But when I was in 5th grade our French teacher assigned us to make a French Canadian dish, I made tourtiere. It was one of the best foods and one of the most interesting and fun foods to cook. Thanks KWOOWK❤
I am in high school I am in my first year of high school but I was saying that I have had 9 years of schooling throughout my life. Like if you are in your last year of high school you are in grade 12, meaning you have had 12 years of schooling in your life. Hope that helps😅
I've been living in Canada for 24 years and I've never once eaten this thing for Christmas. As a matter of fact, I don't know anyone who eats this for Christmas. This looks like a ground beef pie
@@highdefinition450 i think it is mostly from our culture but have you ever tried it after a cold day with people you love? Its the best way to eat Tourtière

I spent a couple vacations there and it was beautiful with the nicest most helpful people I've ever met. Nobody told me sorry because there was nothing to be sorry about (except when trying to order a steak and they wouldn't cook it under medium-well because of restaurant health standards or something)
@@Raysystemic Its not the only thing. I may live here but I dont affiliate with any country. Its cool to run into nice people, but I still hate the stereotype. I almost never apologize unless its warranted and I have never said "eh".
Tourtiêre is a delicious French-Canadian traditional dish, which would not be served by itself. There are many recipes for it, and they don't all contain potatoes. The earliest versions of it would have been rather bland since early French settlers would not have had access to exotic spices. I don't think it's traditional in most Canadian households. I didn't get to try it until High School when I started studying French. The cultural model in Canada is called the mosaic. People in Canada are encouraged to keep the traditions of their ancestry, including cuisine. I would be curious about the traditional celebratory foods of Canada's many First Nations.
ok some context here. the dish is originally made from tourte meat (that is a bird species that is extinct) hence the name tourtière. nowadays the dish vary widely from to place in the Quebec province. Another "traditional" way of doing it is with hunted meat (deer, bear, partridge...) . instead of getting grounded meat you can the piece in cube. This way comes from a region in quebec called "Lac Saint-Jean" (Saint-John Lake)
This is how you got me to subscribe. Good job! I wouldn't want to miss the christmas dishes, and I'm curious if you have Poland somewhere there. We have many delicious christmas dishes, my favourite being a beetroot soup with wild mushrooms dumplings called 'ears' (uszka) Also, the huge advent calendar is so extra, I love it.
@@highdefinition450 well Canada is a pretty massive place with many different cultures within it. It wouldn't be easy to encapsulate the fact that Canada's culture is made up of the acceptance of many and all cultures into one single dish!
Loving the fact that you did something from Canada and a decent grade. My sister's and I would pair it with a sauce mainly ketchup and it would normally be eaten with multiple other foods as more of a side dish to go with the main one
I grew up in a heavily French Canadian town. Later in life I moved to a different state and was shocked that people had no idea what this was. This is a Christmas staple every year!
Fun fact, this Quebec iteration of a meat pie was traditionally made with a subspecies of pigeons (tourtre) . The thing was a bit too good because this bird went extinct 😢. These days the best recipes are from Saguenay. I feel. And if you happen to pass by Quebec city, the restaurant l’anticaire, serves a tourtiere to die for 😎
yknow watching this short while drinking my medicine made me think of a shower thought basically the shower thought was "youtube technically is a time capsule if you make a video form 5 years ago and rewatch it on present day"
Ironically had it yesterday and I still think it’s a great dish for Canadian winter! But if you really want some meaty stuff try Greton, it’s a pork meat spread for breakfast usually
Could you do Venezuela? Our main Christmas dish is called hallacas, and they are amazing!! I don't if you've already picked out the countries, but if you haven't it'd be super cool 😊
@@Kimera_225 se presentan como un "tamal" (en forma de almohada o cojín, envuelto dentro de una hoja de plátano), pero el relleno es un poco más complejo. El guiso se hace con carnes de cerdo, res y pollo, vino tinto, aceitunas, pasas de uva, alcaparras y otros aliños y especias. Además también se agregan al relleno julianas o rodajas de cebolla, pimentón (pimiento morrón), rodajas o cubos de papas, huevo cocido, garbanzos, etc en función de la región. Suele ser una comida bastante completa, por lo que se puede comer sola, o por el contrario, se puede acompañar de otros componentes para hacer el plato navideño venezolano (incluye pero no se limita a: ensalada de gallina, similar a la rusa pero con gallina o pollo desmenuzado; pernil de cerdo o cochino horneado; pan de jamón, etc.)
As a French Canadian, I'm actually surprised you did tourtière as the first Christmas dish, I didn't expect such a traditional meal of ours to be even done And, yeah, it's a very heavy meal.. by preference, there's some people (including me) that put ketchup on it to had some taste and to lighten the meal. And, to say the meal's name with the Québecois/Canadian accent, you can say it like ''too rte aiir'' ;)
Im Canadian and ive never heard of tourtiere, doesn't look too bad though Edit: I just looked at the comments and found out it's French Canadian that would explain why I've never seen it before, I'm still super happy to see a Canadian dish appear here though
Im an english canadian from southern ontario so personally ive never tried this dish but with how cold it is here more people would enjoy it because it warms you up.
The price of bitcoin now is really low can I still invest and make profits? I need a reliable broker that will help me trade my coin and make profits Any recommendations
Personally for me as a Canadian I don’t actually eat this, my family has always eaten poutine. But as a lactose intolerant person I usually eat anything they will have an alternative for.
I’ve never heard of Tourtiere even as a Canadian myself- For Christmas, My family normally makes Filipino Dishes so I hope to see the Philippines on here!
Fun fact in canada if it says add a clove of garlic add as many as you want cuz garlics great thats why lots of recipes dont give you a amount or it will just say “about one clove” its up to you but more is better

Can't wait for you to do cochinillo from Spain! If it fits on your oven, 😂 if not you could try to do polvorones but im not sure if they are only spanish. Love your content lol
My family generally goes with a venison tourtière, and obligatory homemade ketchup on top. We basically never eat it without homemade ketchup.
Memory unlocked. My mom never put potatoes hers. And a lard pie crust.
You usually don't eat a huge wedge of it though.
**your mom comes over**
"WHY ARE THERE SO MANY LEFTOVERS IN THE FRIDGE!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
that doesnt really look like a tourtière but im still glad that a french canadian dish is getting the recognition it deserves!:)
That dish is so Canadian, it apologized to me for burning the roof of my mouth
As a Canadian I am so fu**ing sick of this stereotype. Its mostly false.
@@Midnight_Lantern that's about the only thing people say about your country so that's pretty good. I spent a couple vacations there and it was beautiful with the nicest most helpful people I've ever met. Nobody told me sorry because there was nothing to be sorry about (except when trying to order a steak and they wouldn't cook it under medium-well because of restaurant health standards or something)
@@Raysystemic Its not the only thing. I may live here but I dont affiliate with any country. Its cool to run into nice people, but I still hate the stereotype. I almost never apologize unless its warranted and I have never said "eh".
@@Midnight_Lantern I didn't mean the only thing, just the only stereotype I've heard
@@Raysystemic I know. I am just so utterly sick of hearing it all my life when its not true for many of us. Peace
Tourtiêre is a delicious French-Canadian traditional dish, which would not be served by itself. There are many recipes for it, and they don't all contain potatoes. The earliest versions of it would have been rather bland since early French settlers would not have had access to exotic spices. I don't think it's traditional in most Canadian households. I didn't get to try it until High School when I started studying French. The cultural model in Canada is called the mosaic. People in Canada are encouraged to keep the traditions of their ancestry, including cuisine. I would be curious about the traditional celebratory foods of Canada's many First Nations.
Please one day do latkes. They are yummy potato pancakes eaten on Hannukah. (Yes I know he’s doing Christmas foods but the thing is I didn’t ask)
ok some context here. the dish is originally made from tourte meat (that is a bird species that is extinct) hence the name tourtière. nowadays the dish vary widely from to place in the Quebec province. Another "traditional" way of doing it is with hunted meat (deer, bear, partridge...) . instead of getting grounded meat you can the piece in cube. This way comes from a region in quebec called "Lac Saint-Jean" (Saint-John Lake)
CAN U PLEASE DO ROMANIAN CHRISTMAS FOODS? SARMALE WITH MAMALIGA, BEOUFF SALAD, ETC. 🇷🇴🙏🏻❤️
VREM SARMALEEEE

In Greece the ultimate Christmas dish is a dessert, it's called melomakarona and i really hope to see you make it and hear your thoughts.
This is how you got me to subscribe. Good job! I wouldn't want to miss the christmas dishes, and I'm curious if you have Poland somewhere there.
We have many delicious christmas dishes, my favourite being a beetroot soup with wild mushrooms dumplings called 'ears' (uszka)
Also, the huge advent calendar is so extra, I love it.
ABOUT TIME YOU DID CANADA
Tourtiere is specifically québécois tradition, not so much a Canadian thing.
Tourtiere also needs a fruit ketchup !
Apparently all cultures within Canada are the same, I guess??
@@highdefinition450 well Canada is a pretty massive place with many different cultures within it. It wouldn't be easy to encapsulate the fact that Canada's culture is made up of the acceptance of many and all cultures into one single dish!
I think this dish is more of a Quebec thing as it's not very common in the rest of Canada
I live in Ontario and I haven't heard of tourtière. I thought meat pie was a British thing.
Loving the fact that you did something from Canada and a decent grade. My sister's and I would pair it with a sauce mainly ketchup and it would normally be eaten with multiple other foods as more of a side dish to go with the main one
Ketchup? 🤮
@@pixelfive1272 last time I had it before this comment I was like eight lol, I have it now with this really good mango chilli or apple chili sauce
Wow Canada ! I’ve seen so many of your videos and first time you did my country
Here in Colombia we have a lot of xmas food, the natilla, buñuelos and tamales, I hope to see one of these
Day 8 of asking kwook to make the Serbian national dish
It might be there
There is a 12.2% chance that it'll appear on this advent calendar.
Hi! I really enjoy watching you’re videos and i wonder if maybe you could try the swedish christmas food?
(It’s mostly meatballs, ham and potato)
As a Canadian I have never actually had that😂 usually we just have turkey dinner.
You really should at some point, its actually pretty good.
It is more of a Quebec Christmas meal like pig's feet stew and fruit ketchup
looks great!
I grew up in a heavily French Canadian town. Later in life I moved to a different state and was shocked that people had no idea what this was. This is a Christmas staple every year!

Fun fact, this Quebec iteration of a meat pie was traditionally made with a subspecies of pigeons (tourtre) . The thing was a bit too good because this bird went extinct 😢. These days the best recipes are from Saguenay. I feel. And if you happen to pass by Quebec city, the restaurant l’anticaire, serves a tourtiere to die for 😎
yknow watching this short while drinking my medicine made me think of a shower thought
basically the shower thought was
"youtube technically is a time capsule if you make a video form 5 years ago and rewatch it on present day"
DAY 2 PLEASE 🥺
“What do you do with pie filling? You fill a pie with it!”
NOOOOO REALLY I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED-
Ironically had it yesterday and I still think it’s a great dish for Canadian winter! But if you really want some meaty stuff try Greton, it’s a pork meat spread for breakfast usually
Could you do Venezuela? Our main Christmas dish is called hallacas, and they are amazing!! I don't if you've already picked out the countries, but if you haven't it'd be super cool 😊
From a curious mexican, how do you make those?
@@Kimera_225 se presentan como un "tamal" (en forma de almohada o cojín, envuelto dentro de una hoja de plátano), pero el relleno es un poco más complejo. El guiso se hace con carnes de cerdo, res y pollo, vino tinto, aceitunas, pasas de uva, alcaparras y otros aliños y especias. Además también se agregan al relleno julianas o rodajas de cebolla, pimentón (pimiento morrón), rodajas o cubos de papas, huevo cocido, garbanzos, etc en función de la región.
Suele ser una comida bastante completa, por lo que se puede comer sola, o por el contrario, se puede acompañar de otros componentes para hacer el plato navideño venezolano (incluye pero no se limita a: ensalada de gallina, similar a la rusa pero con gallina o pollo desmenuzado; pernil de cerdo o cochino horneado; pan de jamón, etc.)
Happy romanian national day🇷🇴
Happy Romanian national day from Laos! 🇱🇦❤🇷🇴
Happy what?🤨
@@kispista_ kwoowk is Romanian and the first of december it Romania national day
La mulți ani!🤗🇷🇴
Happy national day romanian brothers. Stay strong! 💪🇷🇴🇷🇴
I want to know if this is a surprise for him too or did he make the advent calendar 💀
I'm from Canada and have never heard of this (it's a big place lol) so thanks for covering it so I could learn something about my own country ☺️🇨🇦
Can't wait!!!
As a French Canadian, I'm actually surprised you did tourtière as the first Christmas dish, I didn't expect such a traditional meal of ours to be even done
And, yeah, it's a very heavy meal.. by preference, there's some people (including me) that put ketchup on it to had some taste and to lighten the meal.
And, to say the meal's name with the Québecois/Canadian accent, you can say it like ''too rte aiir'' ;)
Il a écraser les patates😭
Plus comme toor-tyair, non?
@@joebloe4734 En vrai, ouais ça fait plus de sens 👍
Im Canadian and ive never heard of tourtiere, doesn't look too bad though
Edit: I just looked at the comments and found out it's French Canadian that would explain why I've never seen it before, I'm still super happy to see a Canadian dish appear here though
Im an english canadian from southern ontario so personally ive never tried this dish but with how cold it is here more people would enjoy it because it warms you up.
Also im oddly proud of being an english speaker but i can roll my R’s in french and pronounce most words
The price of bitcoin now is really low can I still invest and make profits? I need a reliable broker that will help me trade my coin and make profits Any recommendations
I invested in both stock and crypto but currently I believe crypto is doing More better!!"
I wanted to trade Crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
@@morganfrance7400 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Expert Laura Cohen
I heard that her strategies are really good
My first investment with Mrs Laura Cohen earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars ever since then she has been delivering.
I love that you did tourtiere but we usually make it with some game meat. The gamey flavours with all those spices really work.
Christmas is not Christmas without tourtiere . We would go to midnight mass then come home and eat it then open gifts. Memories…👍🏻♥️🇨🇦🌟
I appreciate it having my country in a kwoowk i feel like Canada doesn’t get a lot of attention 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I used to make this with my grandma till she passed away every holiday season so this made me smile
I watched every other video in this series but I can't believe I didn't watch the first one.. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Personally for me as a Canadian I don’t actually eat this, my family has always eaten poutine. But as a lactose intolerant person I usually eat anything they will have an alternative for.
"a little too meat forward for me" That explains so much about all of his recipes.
I’ve never heard of Tourtiere even as a Canadian myself-
For Christmas, My family normally makes Filipino Dishes so I hope to see the Philippines on here!
I never expected Canada to get included, I’m genuinely suprised
I really hope estonia is there since estonian christmas food the only national dish that i could think of
As a Canadian I have never heard of this before
Fun fact in canada if it says add a clove of garlic add as many as you want cuz garlics great thats why lots of recipes dont give you a amount or it will just say “about one clove” its up to you but more is better
