About this Book

You think you’ve heard everything about Newfoundland and Labrador, but . . .

Have you had a meal of padre?

Have you ever seen a shalandi?

Have you heard of basket soup?

Would you find the term dry dough offensive?

You’ve tried figgy duff, but have you eaten cod sounds?

Work your tongue through conversational one-liners and much more! This book is a tribute to Newfoundland’s unique culture and way of life. It explores the province’s history and folklore, placing a particular emphasis on traditional language, speech, expressions, and dialect. Read, and experience Newfoundland’s Old English and Irish roots as they come to the fore!
