After reflecting on the question about what I know about Newfoundland and researching Newfoundland kitchen parties on the Internet I still can't answer the question.
All I could answer was that I didn't want to do something that perpetuated a stereotype and in particular a negative stereotype of something which didn't actually exist. So I still have some work to do on this one.
