NH Foodies

@mcmuffin48 Welcome to NHfood! Do let me know what fresh and local items you find in the Epping area!

Apple Ridge Growers in Boscowen #NH has rose hips, the seed pod of the rose plant. Native Americans used them as both fruit and vegetable.

Looks like oval yellow squash, tastes like a really zippy cuke. Phoona Kheera cucumbers from Peacewell Farm in Canterbury #NH. 731-3549

Thank you @NHChronicle for the FF!

Miles Smith Farm in Loudon #NH is selling nice flank steaks--an inexpensive and flavorful cut of beef. Cook hot on the grill w salt & lime.

Ben's making true boiled bagels at Harold Square in Londonderry #NH. Ask for an egg cream while you're there. http://www.harold-square.com

Homemade potato or cabbage pierogies at Tanglewood Garden in Bedford #NH. (Good plants, too). 472-3737

Just finished a sweet honeydew melon I picked up at Farm & Flower market in Manchester. Haven't had its like in a long time.

@KLBinNH Chinese is easy--Saigon Market in Manchester or Nashua. Japanese is hard. I end up at H Mart in Burlington, MA.

Thank you @SinfulSquares for the good words! It was a pleasure having you as a guest!

Avocados are in season. So they're not local, but they're in our stores and they're tasty right now. I eat 'em with a sprinkle of salt.

Ben at Harold Square in Londonderry is making authentic boiled bagels. Brines his own half-sour dills, too!

Sweet precious Gorgonzola Dolce is briefly in season. Ask at your nearest good cheese shop.

Raw milk--I'll never go back to the other stuff! http://brookfordfarm.com/where-to-find-our-products/shops-and-stores

Finally, eggy twisty challah like I remember from childhood! And she even delivers! http://www.challahluyah.com

Amazing views and apples at Gould Hill Apple Orchard. Try the Kearsarge--crisp and complex--named for the mountain seen from the farm.

Fantastic Northern N.E. cheeses at Butters in Concord and the Lebanon Co-op stores in Hanover and Lebanon. #NHCHEESE

Dan says you can see 'em cut lox paper-thin for your bagels at Washington Street Cafe at 88 Washington St Concord #NH. Sun morns, be early.

Best bread I've tasted since Paris at Lynda Shortt's Good Loaf bakery at 75 Mont Vernon Rd in Milford #NH. Watch 'em bake.
