>From the Gerald Andrews 1997 book titled "Heritage of a Newfoundland Outport" the following excerpts are copied to prepare this "timeline document" '1700-1900 Irish History in Port de Grave, Conception Bay, NL' 1699.."The first recorded Irish connection with Port de Grave occured in 1699 when the fishing ship, "May Flower", appeared in the Harbour from Waterford, Ireland. 1700-1900.."Irish Family Names (1700-1900): Port de Grave and Bareneed--Bowes, Brien, Burke, Butler, Coveduct, Cowley, Croke, Curlew, Dawson, Delaney, Dunn, Dwyer, Efford, Fitzgerald, Forestal, Gahan, Hennebury, Hennessey, Kavanaugh, Kehoe, Kennedy, Kenny, Lannan, Loveless, Macarthy, Mullowney, Reardon, Reilly, Roach, Skehan. 1729-1871..."Among the first group of constables appointed for Conception Bay in 1729 was Richard Porter of Hibbs Cove. Regular full-time salaried policemen were not appointed in the outports until 1871." page 102 1734..birth year of Thomas Dunn.."The tombstone of Thomas Dunn, a native of County Killoggan, Waterford, Ireland, who was buried in the R.C.Cemetery at Port de Grave in 1819 states that he spent the greater part of his life in Conception Bay, and was 85 years old when he died." 1751..."There is a 1751 record of Mrs. Pat Butler's boarding houwe at Port de Grave; an apparent Irish immigrant who came to engage in the local service industry. 1776-1816..."The next known Irish settler was Dr. Daniel Connors who arrived in 1776" ....Daniel Connors, a native of Waterford, was an Irish surgeon who lived at Sandy Cove from 1776 to 1816. 1800-1840's..."One wave of Irish immigrants arrived during the prosperous 1800-1815 period in the fishery, a second smaller wave arrived in the 1840's when there was mass emigration from Ireland. 1802..."By 1802 the Port de Grave Catholic population had established the first parish cemetery in the settlement on a portion of the ancient Snow plantation. 1806-1841..."The Chapel was completed in 1806, making it the second Catholic church for Conception Bay, after the first at Harbour Grace. It was also the first church building to be erected in Port de Grave. This chapel can be seen in the 1841 picture of Port de Grave. Its presence is still recalled by a small roadway called Chapel Lane. 1812...July ...."Dr. Richard Shea of Port de Grave was present and when Landergan collapsed he pleaded mercifully for the punishment to stop." page 105 1812-1867..."Mark Hennebury from County Cork was recorded as a resident of Port de Grave in 1812......His son Richard became owner of large vessels, very successful at fishing, and sealing, and head of one of the wealthiest families in the region......Unfortunately Richard and possible other family members were lost with their ship the "Estelle" (a 176 ton Brigantine) and most of its crew in the Great Labrador Gale of October, 1867.......This fierce Labrador gale destroyed the two largest remaining Port de Grave vessels. On October 9, 1867, the "Tangiers", a 131-ton Brigantine owned by Thomas Butler, the merchant at Port de Grave, was lost at Grady." page 118 & 178. 1831-1837..."The first public road was built in Newfoundland in 1831 from St. John's to Portugal Cove by Governor Cochrane to connect the capital with Conception Bay, the most populous bay in the Colony.......Surprisingly, a road was passable from St. John's to Harbour Grace by 1837." page 111 1832..."Charles Cousins was a major merchant at Brigus.........A fierce political rivalry was developing between Brigus and Port de Grave.

Journal of the House of Assembly of Newfoundland third session of the first House of General Assembly St. John's , J.Shea , 1834 Colonial Government Journals Report of the Magistrate at Harbour Grace , on the Petition of Daniel M'Carthy Magistrates Office 1st April , 1834 We have to report that he was committed to His Majesty's Gaol here on the 26th July , 1833 , being unable to give sureties for keeping the Peace to MARY BARNES , widow of the late JAMES BARNES, of Harbour Grace, Fisherman , who charged him ,the said McCARTHY on oath with having assaulted and put her in bodily fear , by which she was compelled to quit her dwelling and fly for protection to the House of her son in law, JAMES WATCHER , where she remained with her children until McCARTHY was committed to Gaol, when she returned to her dwelling. - On the said McCARTHY being brought before us, he refused to give any surety and used the most violent language, and threatened the life of THOMAS DANSON Esq.; at this time he was committed for further examination. On his being again brought up, he was required to give the securities, but could not obtain them at the time ,he has been brought up three times , but in every instance, he has been unable to procure anyone to go security for him. On the application of BRIDGET EGAN , at whose House Petitioner lodged , we issued to him a supply of provision on account of the District , and on the child being subsequently placed under the care of JOHANNA SHEHAN , a supply of clothing and a further supply of provision for the support of Petitioners son. MR. CURRIE denies ever having read to McCARTHY any other paper than his committment , but only informed him that unless he , McCARTHY , could obtain some friends to give their security for his good behavior, he must remain in gaol. That McCARTHY was committed about 12 o'clock , in the day , and was in his perfect senses when he went to bed. No order was made by the Honorable JUDGE BENTON , but McCARTHY's petition to him was handed to the Magistrates for their consideration. We beg leave to remark that on the 21st ult. McCARTHY was liberated on his own security, giving a solemn assurance of his further good behaviour,and that we did not know of his having petitioned the Honorable the House of Assembly, as we should in that case have felt it our duty to have detained him in custody until his Petition had been disposed of , or until the parties , at whose instigation, he had such Petition, had given the necessary securities for him. We have to add, that the said McCARTHY has been in two former instances committed to gaol for the most violent and aggravated breaches of the Peace; and that board and lodging have been afforded to his son from 31st November last ,to the time of his , McCARTHY's discharge, on account of District. signed Thomas Danson C.R.

TRADITION OF GREAT TASTE!! > Not in my home. Reason: Had an uncle who got married in 1932. He was getting $4/wk. As was expected, he informed them of same and was due $5/wk. So instead of the raise, they fired him. My family and their's never had purity products produced by these rich St. John's merchants. When I think of how the merchants be they outport or otherwise treated the workers my blood boils.

TRADITION OF GREAT TASTE!! > > > "A TRADITION OF GREAT TASTE" still exist today amongst the people of our Province, > "Newfoundland and Labrador" > > ENJOY! > > "PURITY PRODUCTS" > > > Purity has always been a big part of growing up in Newfoundland. From the ever-present Peppermint Nobs to the syrups served when the costumed "Mummers" come 'round at Christmas, Purity has been a part of family tradition across the island for nearly a century.... > > Purity Factories Limited began creating quality food products in 1924. It was in that year that three St. John's businessmen - C.C. Pratt, A.E. Hickman, and W.R. Goobie - purchased a local confectionary and soft drink company, and began production of what were to become instant classics - Peppermint Nobs, candy kisses, and flavoured syrups. > > Using traditional recipes and only the finest quality ingredients, Purity became the sole producer of hard bread, a staple of the local diet which was used by fishermen as a bread substitute on their long journeys out to sea. It is also the main ingredient in the traditional dish known as "Fish and Brewis". The triumph of hard bread was followed by the development of classic recipes for a variety of British-style crackers and biscuits - Cream Crackers, Ginger Snaps, and other light-tasting snacks. The quality put into creating these products drew an even wider audience, and soon these, too, became company trademarks. > > Since the early days of Purity, many changes have taken place. In the 1950s, the company moved to a new plant which has remained its home ever since. There are now over 50 products, including crackers, cookies, biscuits, candies, jams, syrups, and tea. And still, Purity continues to flourish, because what has never changed is that same guarantee of quality that the Purity name stands for. It's Purity freshness, Purity goodness, and that great Purity taste! > > Today, Purity maintains a solid reputation for its manufacture of a wide-range of high-quality products. These products are readily available throughout Newfoundland, and during the past few years have become available in stores all over Canada. Renowned for their distinctive and delicious flavours, the Purity foods that have become a tabletop tradition in Newfoundland are now becoming popular right across the country. > > Perfect for any occasion, made from quality ingredients, and manufactured according to the highest standards, the Purity products whose origin was in the shared vision of three entrepreneurs so long ago are still welcomed and enjoyed today, by young and old alike. > > > > Our Lemon Cream and Caraway Biscuits are semi-sweet, cake-like biscuits, with light lemon and caraway flavours. Produced exclusively by Purity Factories, these unique biscuits are an excellent after-dinner snack. They may be eaten plain, topped with butter or margarine, and dipped in coffee or tea. > > > Hard Bread, also known as Hard Tack, is a firm > biscuit baked in a time honoured tradition to create its unique texture. This type of biscuit was onced used by sailors to replace bread, owing to its long shelf life, and has been a traditional Newfoundland product made by Purity for decades. Hard Bread is predominantly used to prepare traditional Fish and Brewis, but is also used with other dishes such as wild game and bacon, or on its own as a snack. Sweet Bread, slightly softer owing to added sugar and shortening, is primarily a snack food. > > > Our flaky layered crackers have a crisp, melt- in-your-mouth texture. From a cracker style that originated in England and Ireland, these crackers are perfect on their own, as a light lunch, or with a hot bowl of soup. Top with butter, margarine, jam, peanut butter, or a variety of cheese. > > > While the same production process is used for our plain crackers, all have varying textures and flavours. Tip Tops, Round Milk Lunch, and Square Milk Lunch have a firm texture, while Cream Crisp Crackers and Classic Milk Lunch Biscuits are light and crispy. All of our cracker and biscuit products are low in fat and have no cholesterol. All make a great snack, with or without toppings, and are best served with a cup of tea or a glass of milk. > > > As their name indicates, Jam Jams are moist, jam-filled biscuits made with all-vegetable shortening. A traditional favourite, Jam Jams are also low in fat and have no cholesterol. Our Deluxe Chocolate Chip cookies have high-quality chocolate chips as the number one ingredient. Both of these delicious products are great for a snack or after a meal. The tin-tie bag is designed to protect freshness longer. > > > >From cream-filled cookies to sweet biscuits, each assortment comes with a wide variety of cookies that make a satisfying snack for every taste. With a different type of cookie in each section, our assortments are great for people who enjoy variety, or for larger gatherings > > > Our satisfying, sweet snack biscuits are made with only the best ingredients. Traditional and delicious, the Ginger Snap name comes from the "snap" sound when you break it. The Ginger Cookie, on the other hand, is a softer textured cookie with a mild ginger taste. Just as tasty, the Family Cookie combines nutritious oatmeal with diced raisins, whereas the Coconut Bar is a crunchy biscuit with a light coconut flavour. > > > A longtime tradition in Newfoundland, especially at Christmas, these concentrated fruit-flavoured drinks are great as an everyday treat or for special occasions. Flavoured for a variety of tastes, syrups mix easily with water, clear soda, or other beverages to make a refreshing and flavoured drink > > > Made by skilled candy makers since the 1920's, most of the hard candies are still hand sugared. The kisses are sweet, chewy candies with a soft flavour that unfolds as you enjoy. Peppermint Nobs and Peanut Butter Kisses are both a Newfoundland tradition. > > > Put on a kettle! A special blend which can be enjoyed anytime, this full-flavoured, great tasting, Orange Pekoe tea is a traditional favourite, and makes two cups to the bag > > > Made with real fruit and local wild Newfoundland berries, these spreads taste as good as homemade. With familiar flavours like Partridgeberry, Bakeapple, and Blueberry, Purity's jams and spreads are perfect on bread or on our own Purity crackers. > > > > > > > > ==== NFLD-LAB Mailing List ==== > Roll Call Page for Nfld-Lab Mail List: > http://amoose4.tripod.com/ > > > >

A tidbit of info. about the history of beautiful "Labrador", Mainland of our Province, Newfoundland & Labrador" ENJOY! Labrador Labrador is often overlooked when the history of Newfoundland is considered, even though Labrador has a significant native history and was also part of the experience of the Norse, later the Basques, and more recently the British migratory and Newfoundland residential fishermen. The Norse and the Basques are dealt with elsewhere in this essay (under "Discovery and Exploration" and "The Fishery and Fish Trade" respectively). Frederick Rowe devotes a chapter of A History of Newfoundland and Labrador (Toronto: McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 1980) to Labrador. In the final analysis, however, students wishing to learn more about the history of Labrador will still need to search for essays and articles. Until the Conquest, Labrador was part of the French domain in North America. Then, in 1763, Labrador was formally transferred over from French to British control. One of the concerns of the British authorities was friction between natives and European fishermen. Local Indians had a fairly cooperative relationship with Europeans that extended back into the early French period. Laurier Turgeon maintains that Basques drawn to the New World in the sixteenth century by the cod fishery and whaling were participating in the fur trade with local Amerindians in the St. Lawrence River estuary by the 1580s. "A Note on the Strait of Belle Isle during the period of Basque contact with Indians and Inuit," Études inuits IV: 1/2(1980): 51-58. However, and in contrast to the pattern of interaction with Amerindians, the contact between the Inuit and Europeans appears to have been characterized largely by friction during both the French and the early British period. The British responded to Inuit friction after 1763 by encouraging the Moravians to establish a mission far to the north of the areas frequented by European fishermen, as is explained in William Whiteley, "The Establishment of the Moravian Mission in Labrador and British Policy, 1763-83," Canadian Historical Review XLV: 1 (March 1964): 29-50. The Moravian Brethren had already demonstrated their success at establishing good relations with the Inuit in Greenland, though their first attempt to extend their activities to Labrador in 1752 was unsuccessful; this is the focus of James K. Hiller's essay, "The Moravian Expedition to Labrador, 1752," The Newfoundland Quarterly LXV: 2 (November 1966): 19-22. A more comprehensive view of the early years of the Moravian mission to Labrador is provided by Hiller in his Master's dissertation, The Foundation and the Early Years of the Moravian Mission in Labrador, 1752-1805 (MA thesis, MUN, 1967) and in two articles drawn from that dissertat! ion, "The Moravians in Labrador, 1771-1805," The Polar Record XV: 99 (1971): 839-854 and "Early Patrons of the Labrador Eskimos: The Moravian Mission in Labrador, 1764-1805," which appeared in Robert Paine (ed.), Patrons and Brokers in the East Arctic (St. John's: Institute of Social and Economic Research, Memorial University of Newfoundland, 1971), pp. 74-97. Hiller also wrote the essays on Christian Drachart and Jens Haven, two Moravian missionaries, for the DCB, IV: 225 and 333-334. The Moravian impact on the Inuit has been the focus of several works.Significant European settlement in Labrador did not develop until the early nineteenth century, about a century after the resident population in Newfoundland began to show sustained growth. Yet the two experiences are quite similar, both in terms of the limiting factors and in terms of the role of merchants. The settlement history of Labrador is therefore of interest both in its own right and as the basis for comparisons with Newfoundland. Tantalizing scraps of evidence show a fascinating sequence of occupation since the retreat of the Laurentide glacier from Labrador, about 10,000 years ago. The earliest records to date are that of an Indian boy buried at L'Anse Amour about 6095 BC and a site at Black Island Cove in the north, dated about 4045 BC. These early people were known as Maritime Archaic. They were overlapped by Early Paleao-Eskimo, followed by Dorset Eskimo and overlapped by the recent Indian and Thule/Labrador Eskimo. Bjarni Herjolfssom, about 986 AD, was the first European to sight North America and in his travels he described the Labrador coast. England has claimed Newfoundland and Labrador by virtue of their discovery by John Cabot in 1497. On a map of 1529 it is written, Terra del Labrador; "This country was discovered by people of the town of Bristol, and because he who first sighted land was a labourer, from the island of the Azores, it was named after him." The Lavrador was Joao Fernandes and the year was 1501. [Lavrador meaning labourer] Jacques Cartier deemed Labrador, "The land God gave to Cain," in 1534 but the sea attracted thousands of fishermen and whalers from England, Portugal, and the Basque regions of Spain and France. The elusive North West Passage attracted many explorers and adventurers along the Labrador coast. An exciting discovery of documents were found in the Basque region of Spain which shed light on the activities of the Basque whalers in Labrador during the 1500s and established some of Canada's oldest written records. In 1668 King Charles II of England granted the Hudson Bay Company all of Labrador and the land around Hudson Bay, comprising approximately one third of Canada. An overlapping grant was made to Courtemanche by the King of France in 1702. Courtemanche was given the land from the Gulf of St. Lawrence northward to the Churchill River and Hamilton Inlet. Although he was thought to be the first European settler, his journal reads: "The Eskimaux are becoming more sociable and are beginning to trade with the French, who are settled there (Hamilton Inlet) and who trade in their commodities." It appears that these Frenchman preceded Courtemanche by a few years. When Courtemanche died in 1717, his son-in-law, Brouage, took his place. Brouage learned the Inuit language and was probably the first to write down the stories and traditions of the Inuit. The Moravian Mission has had a very strong influence on the history of northern Labrador. The Moravian Missions in Labrador sprang out of the missions in Greenland and in 1752 they sent their first missionaries to Labrador. The Moravians were not to return to Labrador again until 1770, by which time King George III granted them their choice of one hundred thousand acres of the Labrador coast. When they arrived they not only met a previous Inuit acquaintance, Segulliak, but also Mikak, who had been taken to England by Lieut. Lucas in 1767 and was one of the few Inuit who lived to return to Labrador. She and her husband, Tuglavina, played a large role in the establishment of the mission. Attacks of whooping cough, small pox and unidentified epidemics have taken their toll of Labrador people over the years, as contact with the outside world increased. The event that probably most affected their lives was the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918, which was brought to Labrador by supply ships. It caused the death of one third of the 1,200 Inuit population and affected, to a lesser degree, the other communities of Labrador. Before and during the Moravian settlement on the north coast, the English and French were settling the south coast and Hamilton Inlet. The Inuit and Indian people were also along the south coast in fairly large numbers according to accounts by Courtemanche in 1702. Louis Fornel established a trading post at Davis Inlet in 1743. George Cartwright established Capt St. Charles/Lodge Bay in 1770, then founded the community of Cartwright in 1775. During the 1800s the Methodist, Roman Catholic and Church of England visited Labrador and built missions. It was also a time of developing services; a Circuit Court of Justice, a steamship mail service, two hospitals and the first co-operative. The development of Goose Air Base in 1941, and the radar Early Warning System along the coast in 1952, drew many coastal people into wage employment, changing their pattern of living and causing many of them to leave their communities. A further resettlement of population came with the closing of Nutak and Hebron Moravian missions, making Nain the northernmost community in Labrador. The iron ore development in Wabush and Labrador City in 1957-58 and Churchill Falls hydro development in 1967 brought a large influx of people into Labrador, while a substantial percentage of people from the coast of Labrador moved to work with the industries of the west.... The Labrador people traded furs and fish for the goods they could not provide for themselves: flour, sugar, tea and tobacco. The land and the sea provided everything else. By their hands they got wood, grew vegetables, gathered wild bird's eggs, picked berries, hunted their meat, fished, and collected plants and bark for medicine. As Douglas Jacque of Postville states in 'Our Footprints Are Everywhere': "We lived through it. Some died and some more survived through it, but we enjoyed the life just the same. The people all along the coast were much the same...there was no other way." Labrador, forming the easternmost portion of the Canadian Shield, is roughly triangular and is approximately 112,000 square miles, almost three times the size of Newfoundland. The eastern coast is about 700 miles long and the 400 mile base lies along the fifty-second parallel. Labrador has changed hands many times. In 1763 it was confirmed as a possession of England but, for a number of years, it bounced back and forth between Newfoundland and Canada. In 1906, surveyors from Quebec precipated the Quebec/Labrador boundary dispute by claiming logs from the Mud Lake sawmill operation. The Judicial Committee of the privy council established the western boundary at the height of land, where the waters divide (1927). It is interesting to note that Newfoundland tried to sell Labrador to Canada in 1909 for nine million dollars and again in 1932 for one hundred and ten million dollars. On April 1, 1949, Labrador, with Newfoundland, joined Canada as the tenth province of Confederation! . The Labrador coast is a rugged variety of hills, headlands, cliffs and rivers. The coastal terrain is basically tundra in appearance and vegetation, while the protected deep-set bays are forested.

Not in my home. Reason: Had an uncle who got married in 1932. He was getting $4/wk. As was expected, he informed them of same and was due $5/wk. So instead of the raise, they fired him. My family and their's never had purity products produced by these rich St. John's merchants. When I think of how the merchants be they outport or otherwise treated the workers my blood boils. So PURITY products were not and still are not in ALL NFLD homes. -----Original Message----- From: Evelyn [mailto:ewoudenberg@roadrunner.nf.net] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 2:48 PM To: NFLD-LAB-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NFLD-LAB] NFLD & LAB. TRADITION OF GREAT TASTE!! "A TRADITION OF GREAT TASTE" still exist today amongst the people of our Province, "Newfoundland and Labrador" ENJOY! "PURITY PRODUCTS" Purity has always been a big part of growing up in Newfoundland. From the ever-present Peppermint Nobs to the syrups served when the costumed "Mummers" come 'round at Christmas, Purity has been a part of family tradition across the island for nearly a century.... Purity Factories Limited began creating quality food products in 1924. It was in that year that three St. John's businessmen - C.C. Pratt, A.E. Hickman, and W.R. Goobie - purchased a local confectionary and soft drink company, and began production of what were to become instant classics - Peppermint Nobs, candy kisses, and flavoured syrups. Using traditional recipes and only the finest quality ingredients, Purity became the sole producer of hard bread, a staple of the local diet which was used by fishermen as a bread substitute on their long journeys out to sea. It is also the main ingredient in the traditional dish known as "Fish and Brewis". The triumph of hard bread was followed by the development of classic recipes for a variety of British-style crackers and biscuits - Cream Crackers, Ginger Snaps, and other light-tasting snacks. The quality put into creating these products drew an even wider audience, and soon these, too, became company trademarks. Since the early days of Purity, many changes have taken place. In the 1950s, the company moved to a new plant which has remained its home ever since. There are now over 50 products, including crackers, cookies, biscuits, candies, jams, syrups, and tea. And still, Purity continues to flourish, because what has never changed is that same guarantee of quality that the Purity name stands for. It's Purity freshness, Purity goodness, and that great Purity taste! Today, Purity maintains a solid reputation for its manufacture of a wide-range of high-quality products. These products are readily available throughout Newfoundland, and during the past few years have become available in stores all over Canada. Renowned for their distinctive and delicious flavours, the Purity foods that have become a tabletop tradition in Newfoundland are now becoming popular right across the country. Perfect for any occasion, made from quality ingredients, and manufactured according to the highest standards, the Purity products whose origin was in the shared vision of three entrepreneurs so long ago are still welcomed and enjoyed today, by young and old alike. Our Lemon Cream and Caraway Biscuits are semi-sweet, cake-like biscuits, with light lemon and caraway flavours. Produced exclusively by Purity Factories, these unique biscuits are an excellent after-dinner snack. They may be eaten plain, topped with butter or margarine, and dipped in coffee or tea. Hard Bread, also known as Hard Tack, is a firm biscuit baked in a time honoured tradition to create its unique texture. This type of biscuit was onced used by sailors to replace bread, owing to its long shelf life, and has been a traditional Newfoundland product made by Purity for decades. Hard Bread is predominantly used to prepare traditional Fish and Brewis, but is also used with other dishes such as wild game and bacon, or on its own as a snack. Sweet Bread, slightly softer owing to added sugar and shortening, is primarily a snack food. Our flaky layered crackers have a crisp, melt- in-your-mouth texture. From a cracker style that originated in England and Ireland, these crackers are perfect on their own, as a light lunch, or with a hot bowl of soup. Top with butter, margarine, jam, peanut butter, or a variety of cheese. While the same production process is used for our plain crackers, all have varying textures and flavours. Tip Tops, Round Milk Lunch, and Square Milk Lunch have a firm texture, while Cream Crisp Crackers and Classic Milk Lunch Biscuits are light and crispy. All of our cracker and biscuit products are low in fat and have no cholesterol. All make a great snack, with or without toppings, and are best served with a cup of tea or a glass of milk. As their name indicates, Jam Jams are moist, jam-filled biscuits made with all-vegetable shortening. A traditional favourite, Jam Jams are also low in fat and have no cholesterol. Our Deluxe Chocolate Chip cookies have high-quality chocolate chips as the number one ingredient. Both of these delicious products are great for a snack or after a meal. The tin-tie bag is designed to protect freshness longer. >From cream-filled cookies to sweet biscuits, each assortment comes with a wide variety of cookies that make a satisfying snack for every taste. With a different type of cookie in each section, our assortments are great for people who enjoy variety, or for larger gatherings Our satisfying, sweet snack biscuits are made with only the best ingredients. Traditional and delicious, the Ginger Snap name comes from the "snap" sound when you break it. The Ginger Cookie, on the other hand, is a softer textured cookie with a mild ginger taste. Just as tasty, the Family Cookie combines nutritious oatmeal with diced raisins, whereas the Coconut Bar is a crunchy biscuit with a light coconut flavour. A longtime tradition in Newfoundland, especially at Christmas, these concentrated fruit-flavoured drinks are great as an everyday treat or for special occasions. Flavoured for a variety of tastes, syrups mix easily with water, clear soda, or other beverages to make a refreshing and flavoured drink Made by skilled candy makers since the 1920's, most of the hard candies are still hand sugared. The kisses are sweet, chewy candies with a soft flavour that unfolds as you enjoy. Peppermint Nobs and Peanut Butter Kisses are both a Newfoundland tradition. Put on a kettle! A special blend which can be enjoyed anytime, this full-flavoured, great tasting, Orange Pekoe tea is a traditional favourite, and makes two cups to the bag Made with real fruit and local wild Newfoundland berries, these spreads taste as good as homemade. With familiar flavours like Partridgeberry, Bakeapple, and Blueberry, Purity's jams and spreads are perfect on bread or on our own Purity crackers. ==== NFLD-LAB Mailing List ==== Roll Call Page for Nfld-Lab Mail List: http://amoose4.tripod.com/
