[Conrad McBenis]

Dedicated to my long lost brother, Doland, on his birthday.

It is prounced New-Fun-Land.

Codfish is a Newfie delicacy but you only have to call it "fish".

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Northern Cod are now endangered as of 1992 and the large industry of fishing was eliminated.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Fish is considered "meat" in Newfoundland, Newfie Vegans can no longer consume it as of 2011.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Newfoundlers are referred to by normal Canadians as "goofy Newfy".

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Moose are the most prized game of Newfoundland. Newfies are allowed to use automatic weapons to hunt.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

@newfiejesus how did moose swim to Newfoundland?

 

[Conrad McBenis]

If you are brave enough to dive to the bottom of the North Atlantic, you can come up with a basket of primo fresh scallops.

***DISCLAIMER***

This episode was cut short about halfway through to finish watching the 3rd period of this ever exciting VGK/WSH game. f*** the Caps, go Vegas!

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Resuming episode. I love my Newfies.

Sea Urchins look delicious grilled with garlic and onions.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Stuffed squid over rice... another delicious creation.

A Jig's Dinner:

Fried Balogna
Fried Clam Strips
Liver and Onions
Pan Fried Cod

@Doland explain the racist term of Jig's Dinner. This is really a thing.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Axe throwing is Newfoundland's national sport.

Anthony Bourdain calls @Mr. Met's land an enchanted land!

Newfie's favorite food other than fried moose legs are boiled chicken wings.

Anthony Bourdain calls @Mr. Met's land an enchanted land!

I will never understand how it is or how is it that Mr. Bourdain has so many lands travelled that are enchanted in literally every other episode of every other show yet somehow has never ever encountered something literally enchanting at least on camera with the exception of maybe that one time he was in Portugal and the "street" "guitarist" was making some enchantively melodic melodies with a guitar or maybe in other episodes I have not yet watched or seen in passing which includes this Newfoundland one which you provided zero links for.

 

[Mr. Met]

Anthony Bourdain is @G F O Ps dad

 

[VickAshley]

Anthony Bourdain is @G F O Ps dad

No way in the heck this is even remotely true not biological or even as a foster parent even, ever. @G F O P is not of his "stalk" by means of heritage, neither biologically, nor nurturingly, or even emotionally or spiritually. Bow way no-how.

 

[VickAshley]

Many people claim Anthony bourdain as their hero despite the possibility he might be a big time loser and even maybe perhaps a rapist knowing the restauranting world but there is literally no way @G F O P could ever claim him as a father or father-figure, ever.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Anthony Bourdain is @G F O Ps dad

Please do NOT insult Newfoundland like this.

 

[VickAshley]

For the record one of my favourite dogs of all time is also called a "newfie"
