This hearty meat pie
filled with ground meat, onions:
much satisfying

What could be heartier than a meat pie? I had this one for my first time at a Montreal sugar shack on a senior trip in eighth grade. It was so good! We also got to try maple syrup on ice (tire sur la neige), which was SO GOOD.
Sugar shacks: Towards the end of March, an annual tradition begins at sugar shacks across Quebec. A sugar shack is a small wooden house built in the middle of the maple forest for making maple syrup. Many sugar shacks also offer maple-soaked feasts in celebration of the maple harvest, to which visitors flock to beat the winter blues, to welcome spring or simply to discover the various tastes and uses of this sublime golden nectar. — Authentik Canada
