About this episode

The episode explores the history of traditional Newfoundland desserts enjoyed during the holiday season.

Merry Christmas all. We're exploring the history of some of the amazing desserts I had, and still have, for the holiday season. We're looking at the origins of lassy mogs, jam jams, and date squares: all staples on the Newfoundland holiday dessert platter. Plus we'll hear some local Newfoundland artists for the holiday merry making. Thank you for listening to the podcast and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous new year.
