What does COADY mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectNorth American
A thick sweet syrup made by boiling molasses, used as a topping in Newfoundland cooking.
Coady is boiled down from molasses until it thickens into a dark syrup, then poured over duff puddings or bread as a simple homemade dessert sauce. The word belongs to Newfoundland kitchen speech rather than to standard cookbooks, and outsiders usually meet coady only through local recipes. It shows how a small regional food culture keeps its own vocabulary long after the wider language has moved on to plainer terms like syrup.
