Tommy - Let's put it this way, on Thanksgiving, I don't eat the turkey at all. I don't even eat the leftovers the next day. I'm just making a general comment about turkey which I get to taste occasionaly when Mrs. P and I bring in kosher style deli. She usually orders the turkey and I take a nibble or two.
What's our national dish?

There are too many diverse ethnic groups in what is called the "multicultural mosaic" (a phrase used to distinguish the approach from the American melting pot) of Canada for there to be a "national dish".
For some, hamburgers. For others, pho.

And, yes, poutine: frites with tinned gravy and cheese curds.

Thanksgiving is now "owned" by my little sister, who has some miracle magic she does to a turkey. I can't eat turkey anywhere else at this point, because hers is so good. And she's told me a zillion times what she does, but it just doesn't come out that way when I do it. It's impossible to stop eating it.
I love that bite when all of these things are on the fork: turkey, stuffing, sweet potato, cranberry sauce, gravy.

I thought butter tarts were Danish.
The butter tarts I'm familiar with are essentially puff pastry decorated with even more puff pastry and powdered sugar.

Those sound interesting. Different from the tarts I'm thinking of, but interesting nonetheless. Gotta recipe?I thought butter tarts were Danish.

Miss J -- not really a recipe (recalling from memory, having read a cookbook several years ago). Basically make puff pastry the usual method, and cut into a circular shape. Cut several strips of puff pastry dough, brush with egg wash and roll each strip up, then place on top of the circle of dough, pressing each spiral roll into the circle.
Brush the whole with egg wash. The net effect is that when you take the butter tart out of the oven, the top should be decorated with spirals of puff pastry.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar, let cool, cut into wedges and serve. Serve preferably with some schlag (sweetened whipped cream) on the side.
