Le cipaille ou cipâte est un mets réputé de la cuisine québécoise. La manière la plus courante de le préparer consiste à verser un mélange de pommes de terre et de plusieurs sortes de viandes coupées en morceaux dans un récipient profond tapissé d'une abaisse de pâte épaisse, puis de recouvrir le tout d'une autre abaisse. On peut également disposer ce mélange en couches séparées chacune par une abaisse, ce qui explique qu'on ait obtenu, par étymologie populaire (d'après le mot pâte), la variante cipâte (parfois écrite six-pâtes, sous prétexte que le mets comporte six rangs de pâte). 4, record 1, French, - cipaille
