Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy

On our hike to Old Man’s Cove we had the good fortune of meeting Michelle and her elderly mother Andres from St. Johns. When we asked about finding a particular trail, Michelle confidently rattled off some directions, finishing with “easy peasy, lemon squeezy.” When asked if that was a Newfoundland saying, Michelle wasn’t sure, remarking that she’d be saying it since she was a young girl.

Andres offered up some Newfoundland definitions when the conversation turned to food. “Fish” means “cod”, and “meat” means “beef.” And “bake apple” refers to “cloud berry” and has nothing to do with baking or apples.

We are still learning the lingo here on Day 4 in Newfoundland. So far it has been anything but “easy peasy, lemon squeezy.” But a delight to the ear.Lue lisää
