Add to ORKGbrewis n'Brewis,' a once popular morning meal composed of broken hard biscuit soaked in water over night, boiled with small pieces of salt codfish and served up with melted fat pork, evidently came from Scotland..In the old days in St John's, when the merchants lived over their stores on Water Street, they all used to have brewis for breakfast on Sunday morning. It was a light meal, palatable and easy of digestion..The fisherman followed the merchant more from necessity than choice..and most days of the week, as well as Sunday, saw brewis used all over the country.SeeDNE-cit DNE-citUsed I and SupUsed I and Sup1Used
