If Newfoundland and Labrador had an official food, what would it be?

The City of Halifax has crowned the donairaheavily spiced meat sandwichwith the title of "official food" and it got us thinking ... what isThe Rock'smost cherished culinary delight?

• How a Kijiji-promoted dream of Jiggs dinner became reality
• Halifax declares donairs the official food of the city

What about the mighty JiggsDinner, colourful on its plate and salty in its taste? Then, there's cod fish, the food nearly all people from this province have eaten.

CBC Newfoundland and Labradordid a poll, albeit an unscientific one, on Facebook and Twitter to find out.

1. Jiggs dinner

We know. Why did we bother asking?The Newfoundland and Labrador staple also known as Sunday dinner, corn beef and cabbage orboiled dinner came out on top.

With glorious salt meat, boiled vegetables, dressing, and a dollop (orheap) of pease pudding on the side, how can one resist?

2. Fish and chips (and fries, dressing and gravy)

In keeping with the theme of salty food that's not necessarily good for your blood pressure,fish and chips smothered with dressing and gravycame in as the second top choice.

3. Fish and brewis

For anyone not familiar with local cuisine, fish and brewis may seem a little odd. However, the scrumptious combination of salt fish, hardtack (boiled hard bread) and scrunchions(salted pork fat)could not go unmentioned.

4. Toutons

Unlike the donair in Halifax, most food submitted on our social media pages aren't familiar outside of the province.

Toutons are known as a breakfast food, but any good touton fan would tell you it really can be eaten at any time of the day it's even available at the Royal St. John's Regatta.

5. Moose/fish

No list of Newfoundland and Labrador foods would be complete without moose, and unsalted cod fish. Both moose and fish are widely eaten across the province and in the case of fish it's part of our heritage that dates back centuries.

6. Various pieces of fish, bologna and more
