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. The fulfillment of such iii ideals through the utilization of wild berries is documented in chapter six, as well as berry products' appeal as markers of socioeconomic status and cultural capital. The concluding chapter includes a review of the main themes and contributions of the study, as well as suggestions for further research in this area. A major contribution of this thesis is its documentation and examination of the continuing links between social class and food consumption. Interviewees' and survey respondents' comments about Newfoundland and Labrador foodways, in combination with their own preferences and practices, reveal an intercultural dialogue about the pleasures and responsibilities of living in a society in which there is an abundance of food, but only if one has the cultural and economic means to access it. Thus, the study significantly expands upon the role of the socioeconomic Other in current constructions of culinary tourism. iv Acknowledgments Many thoughtful individuals contributed to this thesis. I am most grateful to everyone who took time to speak with me at convenience stores, jam stands, national historic sites and parks, restaurants, street corners and wharves. The hosts of bed and breakfasts where I stayed during my fieldwork were especially helpful and generous with their time. Special thanks are due to Barbara and David Adams at Tickle Inn at Cape Onion; Jeannie Billard at Jeannie's Sunrise Bed and Breakfast in Port au Choix; Rita, Cecil and Lisa Davis at the Lighthouse Cove Bed and Breakfast in L'Anse Amour; and Lerley and Rod Bryenton at Wildflower Inn in Rocky Harbour. The staff of the St. John's visitor information centre, and particularly director Kevin Gushue, were also of great assistance. I am fortunate to have the continuing friendship of a number of interviewees, especially Christine Foye, Doreen Forney, and Allen and Cathy Deyo. The project was supported by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council doctoral fellowship, as well as research grants from the Institute for Social and Economic Research and the J.R. Smallwood Foundation for Newfoundland and Labrador Studies. My supervisor, Dr. Diane Tye, was enthusiastic and supportive throughout the research period, and the thesis is the better for her interest and suggestions, as well as those of Dr. Noreen Golfman, Dr. Diane Goldstein, Dr. Philip Hiscock, Dr. Neil Rosenberg and Dr. Paul Smith. I v am most grateful to Ms. Sharon Cochrane and Ms. Cindy Turpin for their encouragement at difficult intervals in the writing process. Fellow students who shared the travails of thesis writing and passed along important ephemera and references include Jane Burns, Kristin Harris, Jillian Gould, Marc Kuly, Anne Lafferty, Julie LeBlanc and Jodi McDavid. Finally, I continue to be humbled by the indefatigable support of my family. Profound thanks are due Linda Boyd, Walter Boyd, Christine Everett, Gary Everett and Lynda Everett. Peter, my husband, should be sainted for his assistance, encouragement, insight, patience and timely provisioning of caffeinated substances, and physically and spiritually nourishing stir-frys. vi Table of Contents Abstract Acknowledgments iii Table of Contents v List of Figures viii List of Appendices x Chapter 1 : Introduction 1 1 .1 Traditional Foods in Newfoundland and Labrador: An Overview 2 1 .2 Change and Consistency in Traditional Foodways 11 1.3 Toothsome, Troublesome Travel 13 1 .4 Participant Observation 19 1.5 Survey Summary 24 1.6 Other Methods 27 1. 7 Chapter Outline 30 1.8 Conclusion 34 Chapter 2: Culinary Tourism in the Canadian Context 42 2.1 Developing a Gastronomic Field 46 2.2 Epiphanic Eating 54 2.3 The Canadian Cuisine Conundrum 61 2.4 "Recipes for Success" 66 2.5 Newfoundland and Labrador 70 2.6 How Taste Works 74 2. 7 Conclusion 81 Chapter 3: On the Table 86 vii 3.1 Food and the Social Sciences 87 3.2 Food and Tourism 96 3.3.

Having brainstormed and discarded at least a few dozen doctoral thesis ideas, I decided to take a break from trying to come up with the perfect topic. I had comprehensive exams to study for, and classes to teach. My supervisor suggested that in the course of study, I might come across a topic area or idea that would inspire me. At the same time, she encouraged me to look for a common thread in the ideas I had previously discarded. Upon reflection, I realized that at a very basic level, each of these proposals had the expression of identity through customary behaviour at its core. Moreover, they concerned identity both constructed and viewed through the lens of regional tradition. Much of my previous work, focused on material culture, built upon similar ideas, examining the production or modification of artifacts (wedding rings, memorials, musical instruments), and the subsequent investiture of meaning in those objects. The investment of traditional, in the sense of collective, localized, meaning from both esoteric (ernie) and exoteric (etic) perspectives, in the context of globalization and monoculture, continued to draw my attention.

  • Striped Bass (Morone Saxatilis) Population Characteristics and Spawning Assessment in the Bouctouche and Cocagne Rivers
    STRIPED BASS (MORONE SAXATILIS) POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS AND SPAWNING ASSESSMENT IN THE BOUCTOUCHE AND COCAGNE RIVERS PREPARED BY: CHARLES COMEAU, NATHALIE LEBLANC-POIRIER, MICHELLE MAILLET, DONALD ALEXANDER PRESENTED TO: THE SOUTHEASTERN ANGLERS ASSOCIATION WILDLIFE TRUST FUND FISHERIES AND OCEANS CANADA JULY 2013 1. INTRODUCTION Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is a native anadromous fish species of the North American Atlantic coastline that spawns in fresh or brackish water. In the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of St Lawrence watersheds, spawning occurs in May and June. Juvenile Striped bass then migrate downstream to brackish waters and eventually salt water to feed and grow until they have reached maturity, a process that normally takes three to four years. Striped bass was considered a commercially important fish before it was designated as a threatened species by COSEWIC (the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) in November 2004. However, because there was such a decline in the population, Striped bass met the criteria for being listed as an ‘‘endangered’’ species. The Striped bass population of the Gulf of St Lawrence was ultimately designated as ‘‘threatened’’ because of the high degree of resilience of this species and the high abundance of spawners found prior to the designation. It is therefore important to gather more information on the current Striped bass population in rivers and estuaries draining into the Gulf of St Lawrence. According to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) of Canada, there is no evidence that Striped bass spawn successfully in any other rivers in New Brunswick other than the Northwest Miramichi river (DFO, 2011).

    he comparisons with the United States are frequent, however the differences and distinct personalities are exciting. Like the U.S., Canada is a very young country in comparison to the rest of the world. Like the U.S, it has a British heritage, but the French were there first and are one of the two founding nations. Both countries became new homes to the world’s immigrants, creating an exciting display of culture and style. Both countries were also built on a foundation of First Nations people, those who originally inhabited their soils. We not only share the world’s longest unprotected border with our neighbor to the north, we also share many values, diversity, celebrations, and great pride and patriotism. We share concerns for other nations, and a willingness to extend a hand. Our differences make our friendship all the more intriguing. Our bonds grow as we explore and appreciate their natural beauty of waterfalls, glaciers, abundant wildlife and breathtaking vistas. We’re similar in size, however with a fraction of our population, they make us envious of their open spaces and relaxed attitudes. Canada is so familiar, so safe… yet so fascinatingly. Who wouldn’t be drawn by strolls throughout the ancient city of Quebec, hiking or biking in Alberta or British Columbia, breathing the fresh air of Nova Scotia sweeping in from the Atlantic, or setting sail from Prince Edward Island? How can you not envy a neighbor who furnishes ten times more breathing room and natural beauty per person than we do? How cool to have a neighbor with one city that boasts as many polar bears as residents.
