acadians

This week we’re going up the Canadian coastline to tell the story of The Expulsion of the Acadians. French immigrants to the Americas just wanted to live their lives, be friends with the natives, and stay with their families (that’s oversimplifying it, but you get it). Of course, religion and the government decided to ruin the party for everyone, and A LOT of people died. 

Join us for this week’s historical tragedy, it’s quite sad.

In this episode, Claire-Marie Brisson examines the importance of holiday traditions in North American Francophone households - from Christmas to the New Year. Special guest Louis Brisson reflects on his own experience growing up as a Michigan Francophone North American.

Who were the Acadians? What was their food culture and cuisine? Food writer and journalist Simon Thibault, talks about exploring his Acadian roots and reacquainting himself with the food and recipes from his family’s past which he documented in his new book, Pantry and Palate: Remembering and Rediscovering Acadian Food. It’s a cookbook filled with old food traditions, recipes and anecdotes “seasoned with history.”
