Cretons
In Quebec cuisine, cretons (sometimes gorton or corton, especially among New Englanders of French-Canadian origin) is a pork spread containing onions and spices. Due to its fatty texture and taste, it resembles French rillettes. Cretons are usually served on toast as part of a traditional Quebec breakfast. Not to be confused with "fromage de tête" (tête fromagée in Quebec) or head cheese.
Recipes
Recipes vary, but traditional preparation involves covering one to three pounds of ground pork butt in milk or water in a large pot, then seasoning with onions and a mix of spices. The blend of spices varies from recipe to recipe, but nearly all include ground cloves. Other spices often used include cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg and bay leaf. Some recipes include minced garlic.
Cretonnade
More specifically, cretons is pork-based; otherwise, it is a cretonnade, especially if it is veal- or poultry-based. Although the distinction is often not made, even in French, with either type being cretons.

She's my home dictator
Got her own sweet flavour
When I go down low
She's my girly Bono
She's my Yoko Ono
She goes oh no no no
But I love her so
You and me
Trying hard to build a family
You and me
Life is kind of phony
Holy matrimony
Dont you see
You and I were allways meant to be
I wont flee
All I wanna do is get down on my knees
Well she's my hot potato
She's my home dictator
Got her own sweet flavour
When I go down low
She's my girly Bono
She's my Yoko Ono
She goes oh no no no
But I love her so
Dont you see
You and I were allways meant to be
I wont flee
All I wanna do is get down on my knees
Well she's my hot potato
She's my home dictator
Got her own sweet flavour
When I go down low
She's my girly Bono
She's my Yoko Ono
She goes oh no no no
But I love her so
I saw her dance
I saw her smile
She crossed the floor
I reached for the door
She caught my eye
She made me cry
She tamed the sky
And made me fly
Well she's my hot potato
She's my home dictator
Got her own sweet flavour
When I go down low
She's my girly Bono
She's my Yoko Ono
She goes oh no no no
But I love her so
She's my hot potato
She's my home dictator
Got her own sweet flavour
She's my girly Bono
She's my Yoko Ono
