Kissing the cod
Kissing the cod is a tradition that began in and continues to occur in Newfoundland, Canada. The tradition involves a codfish as well as a type of rum known as Screech. It is traditionally used to welcome newcomers to the island. This can be also referred to as a "Screech-in". The ceremony may be performed at pubs such as Trapper John's and Christopher's on George Street, St. John's〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://travel.ca.msn.com/top-10-things-you-can-only-do-in-canada?page=2 )〕 or a travel guide or local family may perform the ceremony.
So to begin, you must have a Newfoundlander present for a ceremony. Then you must get your shot of screech ready for consumption. At this time the cod must be kissed. Once this task is finished you must answer the question “Is ye a Screecher?”. The reply to this is "Deed I is, me old cock, and long may your big jib draw!".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.screechrum.com/screechin )〕 This can be translated as “Yes indeed, my friend, long may your big sail (i.e. jib) draw wind”, or “may there always be wind in your sails." Afterwards the shot of screech must be consumed. At this time the newcomer is accepted in, and receives a certificate from the Royal Order of Newfoundland Screechers.〔
