A Culinary History Of Downeast Maine (American Palate)

Maineâe(tm)s Downeast culinary history begins well before explorers arrived in the 1500s. Some of the food preparation and preservation techniques used by the Wabanakis and early colonists are still in use today. Lobster and other seafood from the Gulf of Maine and the area now known as Acadia National Park paved the way for a vibrant tourist food scene. The âeoerusticatorsâe? like the Rockefellers, Pulitzers, Astors, Vanderbilts and other wealthy families created a mixed environment of fashionable food trends and simple foods like fish chowder. Locals like the 40 Hayseeders used food as a statement to make fun of the âeoesummer people.âe? Author Sharon Joyce details the rich and delicious history of food in Downeast Maine.
