| Talk to us - I believe that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians
offer a wonderful blend of sweet and often shy hospitality. My advice to my guests, for
example, when visiting coastal communities, is to head down
the wharf, the pub, the picnic spot and "visit" with
the locals. If they seem reticent – as would
my father be, for example - then you break the ice! You
will find a strong-willed people with an opinion on just about
everything. They are imbued with a marvelous sense of
humor with vividly colourful memories that they
love to spin into a yarn or two. The Dictionary of Newfoundland and Labrador can
help you decipher some of the musical local dialect.

If you are fortunate, your evening will end up at a
scoff – where you can enjoy” a traditional dinner
– one that might feature such delicacies as moose
stew, Fish
'n Brewis or figgy duff; you could even get yourself
screeched-in. If you are really lucky, you
will have occasion to sample a local rendition of our wonderful
traditional music.
