My grandmother (from Conception harbour in Newfoundland) taught me to make my Jiggs Dinner or Corn Beef and Cabbage. I beleive we had to do the Irish jig when cookin'and yes we jigg out the vegetables as they cook. I have read alot of what was said here it is all very familiar. I think the Jigg comic strip came later due to Jigg being part of the terms used by the Irish.
