The more we learn about Boston, the more we see FOOD! What a wonderful place to go for those of us who enjoy a wide spectrum of good eats. Another word for people like us is:
FOODY
One who appreciates good cuisine, or just eats to do darn much.
Our youngest son would tell you his self-proclaimed nick-names are: "Chick-fil-a" and "Snacks". We have heard that the definition of "foody" is also: A friend that shows up every Saturday morning to eat breakfast and watch 3-D programs. This could pertain to him as well.
Here are a few of the items we are so excited to munch on!
Baked beans have been a traditional dish since colonial days. Beans were served so often that Boston became known as Beantown.
Lobster-pronounced "Lahb'-stah" -The pilgrims ate lobster only when there was nothing better to eat. The Puritans served it to prisoners, servants and the poor. Native Americans used the meat for fish bait.
Chowder- pronounced "Chaw'-dah"
Canoli
Boston Cream pie-actually a cake
Pho-Vietnamese noodles
And a good Irish Stew
