New Englander here — I love a good chowder (white clam or corn)! I also love clams on basically anything or just steamed — such an underrated protein.

Also every Christmas, my mom gives my husband freshly baked apple cider donuts in his stocking. It’s hard to find good ones outside of the northeast.

Fellow New Englander here! You're so right about the apple cider donuts—they're a fall staple! Also, I recently had "chowder fries", which were french fries covered in clam chowder with steamed clams on top (like disco fries but with chowder instead of gravy)....they were incredible

Totally agree. I'm originally from MA and since moving to Seattle I miss and crave these!

Also, GOOD bagels, boiled lobster dipped in butter, half moon cookies, morning glory muffins, munchkins/doughnut holes, and Portuguese food like chourico and peppers or chicken Mozambique.

Same! Yes to all of the above, plus Dunkins iced coffee and ice cream hand scooped by local high schoolers year round if that counts 😉
