Getting screeched in on George Street is a time-honoured
tradition/joke Newfoundlanders love to do with “mainlanders.” The history is
always a little different, but it usually involves a trade by long-ago Newfies
and pirates for some strange liquor, thereafter known as Screech.
I won’t give it away, as it’s something that needs to be
experienced, be sufficed to say it involves a cod, some questionable deli meat,
poetry and said strange liquor.
When you find yourself in St. John’s, let the city’s natural
slope funnel you to George Street and get the real screech in experience, and
stay to enjoy the street with the most bars and
pubs per square foot of any in North America. It is an incredible
spot, and a truly Canadian experience.
