This recipe is a great base, but I augmented it a bit to make it more like the Vietnamese Pork and Shrimp soup I loved so much in Paris. See my site: http://recipestockpile.blogspot.com for the recipe.

Cape Breton 'Pork Pies'

I'm from Nova Scotia and my aunt from Cape Breton has made these delicious little tarts since I was a little girl. I have no idea where the name comes from and neither does she but they are definitely worth trying! YUM!
