Shipwreck pie
Pies
Not that long ago, in the small isolated coastal villages of Atlantic Canada, families relied on their pantry of summer harvest canning and root cellars during the harsh winters. "We're shipwreck!" was often used to describe the pantry and cellar thinning.
<br />This hearty pie uses the most basic of ingredients of potato, carrot, parsnip, onion and rice and any canned goods available. Salt cod, moose or chicken.
<br />My modern update of this hearty one pot dish, 'Storm Pie', snowed-in or high winds of a hurricane, with trees down blocking passage to the market, or may not even get out of the driveway because of snow, uses the same basic pantry ingredients.
<br />With storm prep and weather reports we have full pantries...root vegetables and frozen or fresh veggies. Fish, chicken and beef.
