Thanks for all the love with this Canadian foods series, hope you guys enjoyed it! This last episode is up on my Instagram @seed.eat.repeat here and TikTok here. I’ll post a recap there next week + resume telling other Toronto/GTA food stories.
Day 20 is tourtière, a Quebecois (and broadly French-Canadian) meat pie that’s a specialty for Christmas.
Sharman’s Proper Pies, at 1972 Danforth Ave, is to my knowledge one of the only two spots (the other being Pie Commission) where you can get this hot, year-round. Just call Sharman’s to pre-order, they may not have it by default every single day otherwise.
Fun story. I grew up watching James Sharman as a soccer analyst on The Score and Sportsnet, and had no clue he had started this pie shop as well! Cool mix of British & Canadian offerings, mostly frozen but with a rotating selection available fresh in-store.
The lard crust is beautiful and the pork/celery/oats/spices/herbs filling was densely packed in and well cooked, but I added some salt & hot sauce to it when I got home according to my personal preference.
