Lastnight, we had a traditional Newfoundland dinner called "Jigg's Dinner"
It is a huge pot boiled over an open fire and had within it potatoes, carrots, turnip, cabbage, peas pudding, bread pudding, and salt beef. From the oven came a huge turkey with stuffing. For desserts, there were, fresh cut fruit, trifle, biscotti with chocolate chips and cherries in it, date squares, apple pie, and cookies.
The event is called a boil up.
