Oreilles de crisse (French pronunciation: [ɔʁɛj də kʁis]) is a traditional Quebec dish consisting of deep-fried salted fatback. Its name means "ears of Christ" and it is generally served in "cabanes à sucre" (sugar shacks) in spring time, as a salty and crunchy side contrasting with maple syrup-laden foods.
