Cretons - French Canadian recipe - YouTube[/URL]

That creton recipe sounds great and I'll have to try it. I may add more fat to it. What kind of fat would be best? And how much?

Funny things happen when a person reads YouTube's automatic captions. This was part of the instructions:

"It is also served as a snack on predators as well."
:LOL:

You don't have to buy lean pork, regular should give you enough fat. Or about 2 Tbsp of bacon fat could do the trick.

If when you package it and the fat comes to the top - leave it! It works sort of like the layer of oil on top of pesto. Helps keep it moist and tastes yummy.
 
I first tasted cretons at a now defunct resto chain in Quebec, Marie Antoinette. They were wonderful. Then I saw them at the grocery store and bought some. Gross, far too fatty. I haven't dared buy them in a store. But, Costco was giving samples, so I knew they were good and made of food. The only preservative is salt. The ones I got are "Paysan" brand of "home style" cretons. I have never tried making them myself. I probably will. I thought it was more effort than implied by that video. Thanks for finding it Aunt Bea.
