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.

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 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.
