From tourtière to ployes to poutine, certain dishes are known and loved by Maine's French Canadian and Acadian communities. We'll learn about the history of these dishes, how they're made—and what food traditions are emblematic of the Franco American heritage that is so much a part of Maine's culture. And we'll hear about PoutineFest, happening in Portland on September 14th.
