We are trying local dishes along the way and Newfoundland certainly has things neither of us has seen. Scruncheons, Toutons, eggs benny on cod cakes. Toutons are not pronounces the way you would think, as it was pointed out to me, the locals got a chuckle at my expense. What is it you ask? Deep fried bread dough, served with molasses, sometimes maple syrup. Scruncheons is a term for small pieces of pork rind or fatback fried until crispy. Didn't get to that one, but the toutons took me over the edge and now my clothes are tight, tight, off to superstore for some sweatpants.
