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.

This guideline will only target certain sections of the Regulation, for complete information please refer to the “Wines of Marked Quality Regulation”. This guide is not intended to replace the Regulation and, if there is any conflict between the guidelines and the Regulation, the Regulation governs. Please contact to British Columbia Wine Authority directly if you have any labelling question which is not addressed in these guidelines. Label Reviews All wineries must submit a label to the British Columbia Wine Authority for review and pre-approval. There is no charge for this. These reviews will provide wineries with definitive guidance concerning compliance of proposed labels with the Regulation. All labels must receive an approval prior to the product receiving its final BC VQA designation. The BCWA strongly suggests that labels be sent in prior to final printing (as a proof) for preliminary approval. This will save you time and money. Please e-mail a PDF or other electronic format to [email protected], do not send faxes. While these reviews may also take into account the labelling requirements of other Federal and Provincial laws (such as CFIA), the British Columbia Wine Authority’s opinion concerning the application of such other laws is not binding on other regulatory agencies that may administer such other laws.
