Rappie Pie: a local Nova Scotian treasure

A short, pithy description of your project (approx. 50 words or less).

The southeastern coast of Nova Scotia is home to many Acadian communities, all holding much pride in their culture. Rappie pie, also known as râpure, is a simple dish made up of potatoes, onion and chicken that has been a part of the Acadian culture for generations. The recipe dates to the first Acadians who settled along the coast of Nova Scotia following the Deportation of 1755. Since then, the rappie pie has played an important role in bringing Acadian families and communities closer.
