Jiggs dinner — Canada

0
Jiggs dinner, also known as boiled dinner or cooked dinner, is a traditional meal commonly prepared and consumed on Sundays in many regions of Canada's Atlantic provinces. Corned beef and cabbage is the favorite dish of Jiggs, the central character of Bringing Up Father, the famous comic strip created by George McManus and Zeke Zekley; this probably gave the name to Jiggs dinner.
The dish's name is sometimes spelled "Jigs dinner" or "Jigg's dinner". In the "Jigg's dinner" version, the apostrophe is misplaced if it refers to McManus's character. The spelling "Jiggs dinner" is the most common.
