Answer: salt cod

Salt cod was the life blood of NFLD's economy for many years.
2. Flipper pie is made with what main ingredient?

Raisins are the figgy part of Figgy duff. Figgy Duff is a kind of bread/bun that is a favorite with many Newfoundlanders.
4. What is screech?

Answer: rum

The legend goes that it is called screech because of a soldier who was stationed on the rock took a drink, which was so strong, he lost his breath. He let out a fierce screech when his breath returned to him. Apparently the stuff was 190 proof back then. Now it is 40% alcohol, and you can buy it everywhere in Canada.
5. Cod tongues and cheeks are considered a delicacy.

Answer: True

They really are! Cod tongues are fried, baked, or done in a soup. Cod cheeks have a slightly crunchy quality to them, and are often made into a soup, somewhat like clam chowder.
6. Also known as cloudberries, these are very versatile and can be made into pies, squares, cookies, jam, or eaten plain. What are they?

Answer: bakeapples

Bakeapples are a wonderful treat, and grow native in the swamps of Newfoundland and Labrador.
7. Which of these is a staple in many northern homes?

Answer: caribou

Caribou makes a mean stew, is delicious grilled, baked, and some people even eat it raw.
8. The Inuit of the far north of Labrador enjoy Maktaaq, smoked, dried caribou meat.

Answer: False

Maktaaq is actually the outer layer of skin from a norwhal or a beluga.It is eaten raw, and has a very high calorie count, so it is especially warming on a cold day!
9. What would a traditional salt beef dinner consist of?

Answer: salt beef, potatoes, turnips, pease pudding and greens

Salt beef comes in a bucket of brine. You soak it over night, have a boil up, and mmm mmm what a tasty dinner!
10. Not a question of food, exactly, but what does is it to "Kiss the cod"?

Answer: a Newfie tradition involving alcohol and a codfish

When you go into a bar in Newfoundland, you may be asked to "kiss the cod". You will then take a large swallow of screech, and actually kiss a codfish!
