From Quebec - Fricandeau image

This recipe is posted for play in Culinary Quest - Quebec. The recipe is from "Laura Secord Canadian Cookbook". A well loved book with many treasured recipes. This jellied veal and pork loaf is a Quebec style of fricandeau. When it is glazed and garnished it is so much nicer than meatloaf.
