Jiggs Dinner

The standard Newfoundland sunday food. Essentially consists of carrot, potato and cruciferous vegetables boiled in a large pot with salt meat. The salt meat is essential due to the unique flavor imparted onto the vegetables. Without salt meat it's not jiggs, just sad, flavorless boiled vegetables. Often served with pea pudding, mustard pickles and additional protein such as fish, turkey, chicken or beef.

Jiggs Dinner is the fuel and gas that makes Newfies (people from Newfoundland) run! A feed of Jiggs Dinner every Sunday keeps the doctor away in Newfoundland. Jiggs dinner consists of your meat of choice (turkey, beef, chicken, moose or goose) along with all your veggies and gravy.
