Why New England
Cuisine is special

The early colonists gave birth to New England cuisine, which was significantly influenced by the Narragansett Indian cuisine. This New England cooking style continued to mutate into the 19th century as waves of immigrants came from Ireland, Italy and Portugal.

Boston Baked Beans

Navy beans are slowly baked for hours with molasses and salt pork.

---

Boston Brown Bread

Moist bread made originally with cornmeal. It is sweetened and heavily darkened with molasses. Boston Brown Bread is a customary accompaniment to Boston baked beans (see above).

---

Boston Cream Pie

It's a misnomer. Boston Cream Pie is a round layered cake, not a pie. It is liberally filled with custard and coated with chocolate icing.

---

Clambake

The authentic clambake occurs on a secluded sandy beach during a casual family or sociable outing. Lobsters, corn, and clams are sequentially layered in a stone-heated pit. Seaweed is strategically intra-dispersed. Then, the entirety is covered with sand. Unhurriedly, the components are smoke-steamed-baked.
