> What?? How can anyone NOT like New England cooking? :-) That depends... Are we comparing it to, say, New Orleans cooking? And, as an aside, the first time I went to Boston (I've lived on the West Coast) I missed my chance at Clam Chowder the first night. The only other time I remember it was when we stopped at a McDonald's. There was no way IN HELL that I was going to have New Englad Clam Chowder at a friggin' McDonald's!!!! Just thought I'd share... :) Chris (who likes too many foods to name...:)
