A reader named Keith is looking for hard bread from Newfoundland

Here's his plaintive note, asking for help:

"I made a trip to Newfoundland this summer and fell in love with the local cooking to the extent that I bought a cookbook at great expense. Unfortunately, I can't find some of the ingredients (specifically hard bread) in our local grocery stores. I've tried to contact the Purity website but I haven't gotten an answer yet. The website says that "selected" Safeway, Superstore, IGA, etc. stores carry hardbread but none of the ones I've visited. Do I need to travel to Ft. McMurray to find supplies for my brewis? I tried in grocery stores around the Newfoundland colony in our city and didn't find anything.

Have you ever done a column on Newfoundland cuisine and researched out where someone can buy the ingredients? I think that it's a really unique Canadian cuisine."

Have any readers had any luck tracking down specific East coast ingredients? Comments welcome!
