This is AMAZING! I will have to say I'd cut the meats in half since I ended up with 6 pies not 4! Everyone I gave them to just couldn't say enough great things about it!<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"03\/03\/2011 17:53","GUID":"fc32b7088fb84d7daeb22c141de2f94d","MemberId":5798226,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Janet Kelsey","SubmittedDate":"03\/03\/2011 17:53"},{"Comment":"
really liked this recipe, and could not find mace in supermarket so I substituted ground nutmeg. Turned out great and my family really liked it!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"02\/08\/2011 10:29","GUID":"6a09cf95f0e04192bd1bee187e70063f","MemberId":5811916,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Jaspers05","SubmittedDate":"02\/08\/2011 10:29"},{"Comment":"

I cut the recipe down to make 1 pie; the pie cut perfectly like in the picture and was very tasty. Next time I will cut the spices just slightly. I plan to make for our next large family brunch.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"01\/03\/2011 20:52","GUID":"1f7bd3c5c7a440e0b6629c1f365999bc","MemberId":4258872,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"knowsme2","SubmittedDate":"01\/03\/2011 20:52"},{"Comment":"
About the best tourtiere I ever tried. I made one to try it out and found it a little dry so for the second one I used a little bit more chicken stock. It was perfect. This will be my recipe for the coming years.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"12\/31\/2010 15:34","GUID":"855538C63275C0A1ADEE29D5521E8BD3","MemberId":103777,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"thibju","SubmittedDate":"12\/31\/2010 15:34"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
