Difficulty: medium / Did you know that tourtière and soup are among the first meals known to humanity? According to the Encyclopaedia of Cultural Heritage of French America, three recipes dating back to 1600 BC were recorded on clay tablets in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). Obviously, the version we know today is very different. At the base, the dish consisted mainly of the pie, a bird similar to the pigeon. NOT that I do not like pigeons, but I have a lot of trouble catching them!
