Elizabeth wasn’t very impressed with the food. Her first meal was cod tongues fried in salt pork. She wanted to go back to Scotland. She went back several times, for visits, often staying months at a time. Elizabeth always said she should have never left Scotland but in her later years she was happy and content in Corner Brook.
