My Search for Newfoundlands Worst Meal (Part 1: Day 1))

I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of good food everywhere. How is France or Italy supposed to hold any culinary appeal when globalization has brought fine dining all around the world. Now, I can eat creamy French food in Halifax, gourmet Japanese in Toronto, street vendors galore in Vancouver- and never have to leave my own country. But what happened to the days when I would only get some stale bread and cheese in the UK, or stringy beef and potatoes all along the northeastern coast of North America?

Newfoundland, also known as "the rock", has lacked access to many culinary tools due to the cold climate and rocky terrain. For years all Newfoundlander's could eat was salty fried Cod, and the occasional root vegetable.  But with advances in technology food is beginning to come to Newfoundland: green vegetables, fruits, delicious mints, and fine wines are all making their way to Newfoundlands shores. This may be great news for Newfoundlander's in search of better nutrition and variety, but not great for me, on a search for traditional, salty, fatty, grey, Newfoundland cuisine.

I have 10 days in Newfoundland to find my prize, I will report back with any mentionable news soon!

Day 1: A Failure. Had a BBQ with some friends, homemade burger patties with sauteed onions and mushrooms. Probably the best home made burgers I've ever had. Was not even privy to secret ingredient. Double fail.
