Quebec culture - food

What to throw in some Quebec culture while you teach your kids French? If so, one way to introduce them to the culture of Quebec, is through food. A popular dish from Quebec is Poutine. Basically it is French Fries topped with gravy and melted cheese curds. Not the healtiest of dishes, but it sure tastes good.

Another dish is called Tarte au Sucre or sugar pie. Here is the recipe:

INGREDIENTS
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
Mix brown sugar, cream, and flour together in a mixing bowl until smooth. Pour the filling into unbaked pie crust
Bake for 30 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
