Baked Beans and Fried Clams: How Food Defines a Region
Thursday October 22, 2009 7:00pm
Upper Pemigewasset Historical Society
26 Church Street
Lincoln NH
Baked beans, Indian pudding, fried clams, and lobster rolls... so many foods are distinctive to New England. Does food have anything to say about who we are as a region, about who we are as New Englanders? Bean-hole beans, johnnycakes, chocolate chip cookies, and pork pies -- you can find them all over the country now, but they all originally came from New England like so many of the customs and mores familiar to all. The presentation is informative, humorous, and chock-full of fascinating nuggets about the history of our regional foods. It includes reference to some of New England's more famous foodies -- Fannie Farmer, Hayden Pearson, and Julia Child -- and includes an analysis of how the changing times of New England have affected the way we eat.
Refreshments will be served, sample some of the foods of the region, Baked beans, Indian pudding, New England Clam Chowder, Tollhouse cookies and Apple Cider.
