Tourtière: research for the family cookbook

So I have been working on the cookbook (thanks Debbie - for getting me going on that again). I was looking at some of the edits we had made and I came to Carol's wonderful beef and pork pastry dish. I had titled the recipe as "French Tourteries" from Carol's notes but as we came to that recipe when we were doing the edits, we decided that it was torte "care". Somewhere deep in my mind it was aunt "CAR"ol's torte! What a wild imagination. Anyhow - Linda and I wrote sp? next to the "Tourteries" and rewrote something like "Torteccaire". Have we just been pronouncing this wrongly? So what is it? a Teries or Care?

Here is an interesting blog posting about tourtière.
And an interesting CBC radio show debating the wonderful world of Tourteries.
