Newfie food: Touton

**************The thing that is neat about Newfie culture, is that there has been very few assimilation with the mainland and their uniqueness is retained and still observable in their culture.****************

I will document all the various Newfie foods I have tried or come across.

Touton (T-out-in), this savoury fried burger-patty size dough is chewy like a yau ja gwai (油條), a Chinese fried doughnut, which of those of you who have never had the 1.5 foot long deep fried doughnut at a congee and noodle place, it is sinfully delicious with its crisps flaky exterior and chewy texture. The reason why I spent so many words describing its texture is because touton's don't have any particular taste, other than a slight saltiness, and thus its more notable trait is its texture. Newfies usually heat their touton up on a pan and eat it with toppings such as jam or molasses.  I ate my touton as an after school snack, but Newfies usually eat it as a breakfast item. Side note: It took me forever to pronounce the word correctly, because they drop the "t"s that are found in the middle of the word just as Torontonians drop the "t" at the end of Toronto, and I had a tendency to want to pronounce the "tout" part of touton as a "oooo" sound and not "out" sound.
