Eat Your Way Through National Massachusetts Day
National Massachusetts Day is August 17th and it’s time to celebrate. Massachusetts has a rich history that goes back to the explores and the pilgrims landing in Plymouth. Massachusetts and especially Boston is the center piece with many major historical events that happened like having the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, or the Boston Tea Party. Here in Massachusetts food and drinks are very important to us so it seems only right to celebrate in such fashion. Here are some ways you can celebrate by eating some Massachusetts foods.
Stop in for breakfast
Head over to Dunkin’ to grab yourself a coffee and a Boston Kreme donut to kick off today. Dunkin’ originated in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1948 and is ubiquitous today with a shop everywhere you go.
Bag Lunch
Have a Fluffernutter – a salty sweet combination of Marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter which was a household staple in the 1960s and still is in some households. While Fluff is made in Lynn today, it originated in Somerville, where it is annual celebrated with a Fluff Festival. Add a bag of Cape Cod Potato Chips to make it a meal.
Seafood Dinner
Head to the Cape for a lobster roll*, you can find the best lobster rolls on Cape here. For those who like a less fishy flavor, cod is the way to go. A notable Cape is named after it and it’s the state fish. If you’re looking for an appetizer before your cod or lobster have some New England Clam Chowder.
