What does BREWIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
regional
A dish of hard bread soaked and then boiled, often served with salt fish; also, in older English, bread softened in broth.
In Newfoundland brewis is a plain, filling meal made from hard ship's biscuit that is steeped overnight and heated, then eaten with fish and bits of fried pork fat. The word is much older than that dish: English writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries used it for broth or for bread dipped in meat juices. It is a good example of an old English food word that survived in one coastal region after it vanished elsewhere.
