The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

We started the trip with 19 rigs but unfortunately lost one in Monc- ton, New Brunswick ,due to an accident. No one was seriously injured, but we had to continue on with only 18 rigs. Some of the highlights of this trip included the Bay of Fundy with 25-foot tides, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, rides on the Bluenose II and Amoeba sailing vessels, whale watching tours, and some of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenery in the world. Some of our group even took a day trip to Labrador, while others sailed out of St. Anthony, Newfoundland, to view icebergs and whales. We enjoyed many caravan-sponsored dinners with lots of lobster and other seafood. This was an amazing trip which was made even more enjoyable by the outstanding people who traveled with us. Many thanks to all who contributed time and effort to make this a truly memorable trip.

  • “It's Cheap, It Feeds Lots of People and Everyone Likes It.”
    Rappie Pie “It’s cheap, it feeds lots of people and everyone likes it.” story and photos by Jessica Patterson by Marielle Boudreau-Cormier and Melvin Gallant, and, armed with glasses of wine and Great Big Sea playing in the background, we went to work. I coarsely grated five pounds of russet potatoes into long strands with my four-sided box grater, and chopped two white onions and put them into a large pot with a quartered chicken to make stock. While the stock was simmering, I squeezed the juice out of the grated potatoes for all I was worth. They turned pinkish brown, oxidizing like cut apples. Soon, the potato juice was brown too, and a thick layer of starch coated the bottom of the bowl. The next step was to reconstitute the potatoes with the chicken stock we’d been simmering on the stove. I dumped my potatoes into the pot with the chicken and stirred. The potatoes turned a sickly grey colour, but I persevered. I layered pota- toes and chicken into a baking pan, according to the directions, then put the pan in the oven. Two hours later, our finished rappie pie was grey, slimy and glutinous – not what I remembered. My memories were of light, golden, chicken-flavoured potatoes, with a creamy consistency. As I found out from my Acadian friends in Calgary – Cindy Corriveau and her mother Vel LeBlanc – rappie pies are as different from one another as the people who make them. Corriveau grew up watching her parents make rappie pie. Râpure was a traditional Christmas dish in her childhood home in Yarmouth.

    Neil Gascoyne/Vibe Creative Group Gascoyne/VibeCreative Neil Point of View Beggar’s Banquet in Louisbourg where you dress up in period clothing and feast. Indulge your foodie's heart while in NS! Culinary-based tours more popular each year by Sandra Phinney t’s 11 a.m. and I’m rushing into the Rodd Grand Yarmouth, just in time to join the Yarmouth Foodie Sandra Phinney Tour where I’m greeted by our exuberant tour guide, Carole Bojarski. After a round of introductions, Iour motley crew moseys into Gale’s Eatery Restaurant in the hotel. I have high expectations of this tour, but run out of superlatives before our sixth stop. For starters, at all locations the portions are generous and you don’t have to deal with measly morsels on toothpicks. Aside from ample servings, the selections showcase the region’s cultural and culinary diversity. For example, starting off at the hotel, Acadian fare is featured, including seafood chowder, traditional bread pudding, and rappie pie—which is not really a “pie,” (nor is it pretty), but it’s one of Southwest Nova Scotia’s most popular comfort foods. Along the way you can expect to have a plethora of tastes from Cuban and Middle Eastern foods, to French crêpes, some “wow” fsh & chips, lobster bisque, locally made brews, and hand-made, hand-dipped dark chocolate oatcakes. En route, Carole serves fascinating tidbits of information. For example: there are several brass plaques depicting various ships that sailed from Yarmouth that are imbedded in the sidewalk in Sandra Phinney front of TD Canada Trust on Main Street.
