Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Susan and I (Diane) loved making this Canadian French meat pie. When I would serve it, I would slice it like a dessert pie, and then raise the top crust, on that slice, and put a little bit of mustard on top of the meat. I used Gulden's because it gave a nice kick. Using fresh spices will ensure a nice spice flavor. If you'd like to use Allspice, you can use that also, perhaps a pinch in addition to the ginger and cloves.
