It’s hard to imagine why, but plenty of people do in fact grow up in the Granite State and move somewhere else. Whether it’s a job, a partner, or just wanderlust that carries them away, most find that the unique spirit of New Hampshire sticks with them in unexpected ways. One of them, of course, is food cravings.
- Maple everything
Facebook/Riverview Farm Maple creemees at Riverview Farm in Plainfield are one of the best maple treats out there, but of course in New Hampshire you can have maple everything.
- Fried seafood
Foursquare/Stewart M. Whether you prefer clams (bellies or strips), calamari, halibut, or a whole fisherman’s platter, it’s all better in New Hampshire. Move to another part of the country, and you’re sure to miss it.
- Steakbombs
Jitto’s Super Steak These meaty, cheesy subs are absolutely heavenly, and we can’t figure out why they haven’t caught on elsewhere in the country.
- Apple cider donuts
Flickr/Via Tsuji Apple picking is a fall requirement in New Hampshire, and cider donuts are always the perfect reward for hard work. Don’t buy them in a store - these are meant to be eaten on a farm, straight from the fryer.
- Lobster
TripAdvisor/bah715 Unless you move elsewhere in New England, once you leave New Hampshire lobster tends to become a rare luxury indeed – and the quality always suffers when it isn’t eaten fresh.
- Fried lake bass
Flickr/Sean Maurik There’s nothing better than some freshly caught and fried up lake bass - it’s the taste of summer in New Hampshire.
- Boiled dinner
Flickr/michiey Corned beef and cabbage, boiled dinner, whatever you call it, this classic is salty, hearty, and delicious, and you’re sure to miss it if you leave.
Nostalgic for the good old days in New Hampshire? A visit to this historic inn will take you back in time.
