Exploring Kennebunkport with Maine Day Ventures

Our culinary adventure began with a refreshing triple berry smoothie made with Maine blueberries. It was the perfect way to start the day and awaken our taste buds. Our guide, Cynthia, shared fascinating insights about Kennebunkport and its rich history. Her knowledge of the area and its culinary scene was truly impressive.

Indulging in Lobster Rolls and Fried Scraps

Our first stop was at a local eatery where we had the pleasure of devouring some mouthwatering lobster rolls. These iconic sandwiches were filled with succulent lobster meat and served on a buttery, toasted bun. The combination of butter and mayonnaise added a creamy richness to the dish. But what really set these lobster rolls apart was the addition of fried scraps. These crispy bits of goodness added a delightful crunch to every bite.

Cynthia, our guide, shared some interesting tidbits about the history of lobster fishing in the area. She explained how lobsters were once considered a poor man’s food and were even used as fertilizer. It’s amazing to see how this humble crustacean has become a delicacy enjoyed by people from all walks of life.

Savoring Creamy Clam Chowder

Next on our culinary journey was a bowl of creamy clam chowder. Made with fresh clams, potatoes, onions, and cream, this hearty soup was the epitome of comfort food. The flavors were rich and satisfying, and the clams were tender and flavorful. It was the perfect dish to warm us up on a chilly day.

Cynthia shared some interesting facts about the history of clam chowder in New England. She explained how this iconic dish has been enjoyed by locals and visitors alike for generations. It was fascinating to learn about the different variations of clam chowder and how each region has its own unique twist on the classic recipe.

Sweet Treats and Coffee to End the Day

The pastries were beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor. It was the perfect way to satisfy our sweet tooth and end the day on a high note.
