While our neighbours to the west are known for their fries, gravy and cheese curd concoctions, Acadians in New Brunswick have their own kind of poutine – the poutine râpée. This traditional dish consists of a boiled potato dumpling with a pork filling; it is usually prepared with a mixture of grated and mashed potato, and served with white or brown sugar, maple syrup, molasses or fruit preserves.

The 2014 World Acadian Congress will be hosted by northwestern New Brunswick, northern Aroostook County, Maine and the Témiscouata region of Québec. United by a shared history and family ties, this area— known as Acadia of the Lands and Forests—is a uniquely multicultural and international region that encompasses, unites and represents a vibrant cultural community.
