local food garners recognition

A local restaurant and food festival have recently received awards. Read on to find out what a television reporter thought of an Exeter health food market, and why some seafood is worth taking a road trip for.

Blue Moon Café

This health food market and restaurant on Clifford Street in Exeter recently received the “Gold Plate” rating from the “TV Diner” program on New England Cable News. Hosted by Billy Costa, the show includes cooking and restaurant reviews, restaurant features and segments with guest chefs from around New England. “We try to showcase a restaurant from a different state in New England each week,” said “TV Diner” producer Jennifer Johnson.

Oreo ChocoStix | Print |  E-mail

Nabisco Oreo ChocoStix is another example of the brand recycling common to so many modern food-like products: here’s a new Oreo product, we’re told, even though it’s not a, you know, Oreo. So, what does that mean?

It does not mean this is an exotic new candy hybrid concocted in the secret Nabisco candy labs. It does mean this is an adequate chocolate wafer stick, covered in chocolate, with the Oreo name stamped on it by a team of soulless marketing people. It really doesn’t taste like an Oreo at all, nor does it capture any of the texture or experience of eating that beloved bicolor junkfood cookie—with the exception of that muddy feeling in your mouth after eating one, like you’re going to have to brush your teeth extra-hard to scrub out the Oreo-dirt; that, the ChocoStix re-creates well.

S&S Candies

Just when you think there's nothing new under the sun—well, it turns out you’re right. While stacking an Oreo on top of a peanut butter cup might be bold, and then stacking a chocolate chip cookie on top of another peanut butter cup might be even bolder, taking a third peanut butter cup and sprinkling it with M&Ms and packaging the whole thing as a candy bar is just an affront to the gods—and with such familiar parts, it’s hard to call it innovation, either.

Chocolate Mint Muscle Milk | Print |  E-mail

Chocolate Mint Muscle Milk has the slightly chalky aftertaste common to many protein bars and protein shakes, leading us to conclude that protein does, in fact, taste chalky.

Given that the chalky taste of pureed Power Bar is expected, Muscle Milk is really quite good, and satisfying. The Chocolate Mint version gives the impression of a shake made from some sort of reconstituted Thin Mint paste—which is to say, it’s delicious!
It even comes in a manly, grab-able, chuggable 17-oz carton which makes you feel like you bought it at a special muscle store instead of the local Gas-n-Sip.

garlic abounds at Newmarket farm

Start by grabbing a stalk and pulling the bulb from its row with a satisfying, almost crunching sound as the roots break beneath the surface. Pile up an armload in the field, carry it to the shade and commence peeling back the first green leaf, revealing a virginal white, glistening layer of pungency tightly wrapping a cluster of cloves. Trim the roots and carry them to the barn, then hang the stalks in bunches of about 12 with reused baling twine slung over penny nails in the beams. Repeat 11,000 times. The garlic harvest has begun.
