"Jiggs Dinner":
] |
Looks somewhat familiar, though we rarely ate that salted meat. The most typical foods for me were fish (trout and cod were common), roast beef, chicken, veggies, maybe gravy.
We never used the term "Jigg's Dinner" either, but some Newfs may have, and I'm sure many oldtimers know what it is. The under 30 crowd may not know it.
I don't think I've ever eaten (seen?) turnip in Asia! Back in Newf it was common. |
Both of my parents are from Newfoundland (Harbour Grace) and frequently use the term 'Jigg's Dinner'. In fact, I ate that stuff EVERY SUNDAY until I went to university. I didn't eat the salted meat because I thought it was gross. |
My mother is from White Bay (Hampden), and my father is from Baie-Verte. Both grew up on jigg's dinner, as did I. My mothers family also calls it "salt beef dinner", but jigg's dinner is more common. Regardless, I often find myself craving salt beef(or pork) smothered in moms homemade chicken gravy on a hungover sunday afternoon. |

Bannock is a truly Canadian food-- it's basically a scone (from Scottish settlers) adapted by plains Aboriginals, and it became a staple flatbread. I think pemmican (pounded deer/bison meat with dried fruit eg., cranberries) is pretty Canadian too.
Do split-pea-and-bacon soup and tourtierre from the French settlers count? |
How can a bannock be Canadian when it came from Scotland? It's a bloody Scottish creation. |

i am going to open up a canadian restaurant in seoul...
the menu....
maple syrup
bacon
potatoes
lobster
all uniquely candian
come on people, there is no such thing as canadian food
i guess my only option is to open a restaurant/pub that serves the same food as every restaurant/pub in itaewon, but throw a moose head on the wall, play hockey games on the tv, and watch the canadians rush in like cattle.....
oh wait i think someone already did that
