Season's Eatings - Jiggs Dinner Christmas Dec 25, 2024

Show notes

In Newfoundland and Labrador, you can tell Jiggs Dinner is being cooked before you walk inside. Steamed up windows are a sure sign there's a big pot of supper on the boil. Jiggs Dinner — a veritable melting pot of salted beef, root vegetables and yellow split peas — is one of the most recognizable and beloved meals in the province, and it's the one that makes people feel at home when they're a million miles away.

Merry Christmas to all my listeners.

Season's Eatings - Second Helping Stollen Dec 10, 2024

Show notes

Jewelled breads, studded with candied fruits and nuts, are hallmarks of the Christmas holiday. Fruitcake, panettone, and julekake are favourites, but for many, this dessert is king. Resembling snow covered hills, this dessert is protected by law. And we almost lost it to history because of a Pope's tax on butter. We are travelling to Germany to explore the history and origins of stollen.
