Newfoundlander Nibbles

It is my intention and life's dream to go to Ireland someday. However, since I will not fly aboard any airborne contraption, I am pressed to find alternate modes of transportation to get there.
A few weeks ago I searched for sea transportation just for fun. I was able to find a cruise ship named the MS Rotterdam at the Holland America web site. The vessel begins in New York and travels through Halifax, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and St. John's Newfoundland before heading out across the Atlantic Ocean toward Ireland.
During my online browsing I found a tourism web site that features Newfoundland and Labrador. One of the pages included several recipes native to the area: Molasses Cake, Cod Au Gratin, Stuffed Caribou, Moose Heart (no thank you), Frittata, Bakeapple Jam, Fisherman's Treat (no fish), Newfoundland Jiggs Dinner, and more.
Since I love blueberries, this recipe caught my eye:
Blueberry Pudding
2 C blueberries
Combine blueberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, and lemon rind. Place in 9" baking pan. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter. Make a hollow in the mixture, and add milk mixed with egg. Combine until flour is moistened. Place over blueberries. Bake forty-five to fifty minutes in 350-degree F oven. Serve hot or cold with fresh cream.
The Newfoundland recipe section also contains a large archive.
