Reader Comments on Looking for Real New England Food? from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Tue, 13 May 2008 04:09:40 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-03/interact/10things/newenglandfood I found a place in Kittery,Me. It is on Clancy Creek[more like a river], they serve two kinds of chowdah--the thick kind that your spoon would stand up in[lately it seems favored] and the kind my mother made[we are a long standing new england family] which is thickened by the potatoes and filled with clam juice and made by her Newburyport Mother. Clancy Creek is a lobster pound in the rough. Pick out the size of your lobster and sit out on a deck right on the river. Bring your own wine or champagne and if you are having a party, decorations. My husband+I were celebrating our 49th anniversary and the staff actually found crystal glasses for us. The lobsters are GREAT!!! We had a wonderful time.

This is the union hall for Boston FireFighters. Lunch is served until 3:00 mon-fri. The food is fresh, basic and a belly full! Yesterday my mother had roast pork with dressing, roasted potatoes and baby corn. I had fried fish,fries and onion rings. OK, the rings were pedestrian but the fish had the clean, sweet flavor that only fresh fish can have. The Lobster Bisque was full of lobster pieces. 2 dinners with salad/soup, meal and endless soft drinks cost less than $25.00. Go!

The freshly made corned beef hash at breakfast is the best I have ever had. They have great food all day long and the prices are excellent.

It is indeed a wonderful place, and I wanted to be sure readers got the name right so they could find it. I also agree with her about clam chowder. This thick version (which they like to call "rich" or "creamy") is just over-thickened with flour. Unfortunately, this seems to be what the tourists expect nowadays, but it's not like what my mother and grandmother made either.

I just love it and can't ever seem to find any. Thanks Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:42:20 +0100
