Q: in 1840 did quebec have a special food or celebrations.Were people in quebec poor in the mid 1800s
A: I really don't think they ate poutine in 1840 !!!! The diet in Quebec in 1840, and still is, rich with game. Rabbit stew, venison, moose. And ofcourse, maple syrup to make sugar pie. Mmmmm..I can feel my teeth hurting already.
