Ployes

A ploye or ployes are a Brayon flatbread type mix of buckwheat flour, wheat flour, baking powder and water which is extremely popular in the Madawaska region in New Brunswick and Maine. First invented in Nova Scotia, they later spread to the St. John Valley and Maine. Much like grits or potatoes, the ploye was originally a simple carbohydrate filler food for the local population. It was very cheap, easy to make, and with local toppings, such as maple syrup or cretons, could vary in taste. This staple is often eaten with baked beans. Over time, however, it simply became a traditional dish.
