This is a classic French-Canadian breakfast spread. Made with pork, onions, spices and served over bread, this dish can be readily found in any Québec kitchen. While this spread can be served straight, many will enhance the flavour with mustard.
In English Canada this dish will typically get some confused looks. However, this dish should be judged with your tastebuds!
