Jiggs dinner - what is it?
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.
