I'm an Oregonian that moved to Maine about 8 months ago. I will admit that I've fallen in love with Moxie. A lot of people told me they don't like it, but I guess it's a love it or hate it thing.
Moxie- damn near the best soda. Clam Chowder is better than corn. Potato chocolates are wicked sweet. I make lobster rolls that look better than that. And those beans are nothing I've ever seen up here. Proud to be Maine born and raised.
Mr. Pibb came out in 1972, Moxie came out in 1876. Also, were these actual Maine foods or California store bought versions? (Mind you Moxie doesn't taste good either way.)
I just don't know about the baked beans, I live in Maine and have never seen beans that look like that. The "potato chocolates" are needums & are different coming from everyone who makes them. You'd have to visit Maine & let someone who's been making things for their entire life cook for you, I'll promise you you won't regret it.
I don't know where you got those beans but those were definitely NOT what baked beans from Maine look like. Moxie is the vegemite of Maine. 90% of (local) people can't stand it, while the other 10% swear by it. Great video tho, I want lobster now.
Or just find a Mainah transplant where ever you are :) my mom and I are in Houston, and we make authentic Maine food! Love your videos, keep up the great work!
I totally agree. I've never seen baked beans that look like those. The ones I grew up with were smaller, much lighter in color and had a runny liquid around the beans.
Sarah Lindell YEAH seriously??? Its like they figured the lobster roll would be so overwhelmingly good that they had to throw some nasty crap in to balance it out lol! I would bet good money that not a single one of them would dislike whoopee pies.... How could you NOT like those right?!
Yes hello I'm a Mainer and, while I don't like some "Mainer foods," I'm one of the few that LOVE Moxie! I don't even drink soda, but I'll make an exception for Moxie. Also I know potato candies as Needhams. Anyone else?
I'm from Maine and these were definitely poor representations of Maine food. :( The corn chowder my mum makes is actually yummy, the baked beans looked nothing like I've ever eaten, and the lobster roll was served on a roll much too bread-y. Where was the seafood chowder? Or maple candy? Or whoopie pies!?
Why are they acting so grossed out at some points like they have just eaten the worst things known to man?!?! I mean they probably have some worse shit in California! Lol. I love Moxie, love corn chowder, baked beans are good, lobster I can deal with and have never seen/heard of a "potato candy" in my life.
From my perspective.... 1. Corn Chowder is amazing but its how its made that really makes it shine. 2. Moxie is pretty darn nasty! XD. 3.Those Maine baked "beans" do not look anything like real homemade good baked beans. 4. Lobster Roll... It is just straight up and hands down delicious! 5. Potato candies. Honestly never heard or had them before.... Definitely worth a try :D!
I live in CT. I tried Moxie for the first time last year. It was like "Mmm. Kind of like Dr Pepper....with a vapo rub finish." Apparently, I'm supposed to love it anyway, since it's hard to find outside of New England. A rare gem, that stuff.
Those were NOT Maine's baked beans! Also, Moxie is good. I find it amusing how Moxie is probably just as important to Maine as lobster is, but yet, so very few actually enjoy it. Corn chowder is soooo good. How can someone hate it? And...I feel ashamed as to say I'm a Mainer who has never tried a lobster roll.
Mainer checking in! I believe corn chowder is more of a New England thing. As far as Moxie goes, I love it. My dad hated it and claimed he could probably run his snowmobile on it if he ran out of gas. I don't need to harp about the beans because every other comment already has. Oh! But the lobster roll? Those are just our hot dog buns. Apparently they aren't the same everywhere? Needhams are crazy sweet but definitely a Maine candy.
Truth though. Keep a bottle of moxie on you at all times on snowmobile rides. Atv rides, hell. Even 4wd around the mud pits and through the woods. Anytime you need some extra fuel to get where you need to go. Always choose Moxie. Works great as an oil for 2. Or 4-cycle engines! :D
Savannah Shaye I agree but apparently you cannot get hot dog rolls anywhere else. At least below New Hampshire. You just cannot toast hotdog buns. Bummer.
Savannah Shaye New England hot dog buns are cut from the top like those. Everywhere else cuts them from the side, which pisses me off because I grew up in MA and now I have to eat these shitty side cut hot dog buns.
As others have stated, those beans are definitely not Maine baked beans. Not even remotely close. Moxie, just...no. I don't know anyone who likes it. Lobster roll is self explanatory. The chocolate covered potatoes, I have never ever seen before but sure look tasty. I rarely ever hear corn chowder and Maine together in a sentence, usually it's clam chowder. Either way, I really enjoyed this video! Definitely earned a sub!
I've lived in Maine my entire life (21 years!) and they must have messed up those baked beans because homemade ones are so delicious for pretty much anyone I know. Moxie is disgusting for everyone, I never understood why people liked it. Also corn chowder is better with spam!
You need to do Massachusetts - White Birch Beer (see Polar Beverages), Necco Wafers, Boston Baked Beans with Brown Bread (it's a specialty canned bread - best one commercially available is by B&M), Indian Pudding, and Joe Froggers.
The roots of brown bread goes back to about 1650 in Massachusetts. It its also a heritage of the molasses trade. B&M may have their plant in Maine but the mother root of brown brewed is Massachusetts.
Mainer here.. Did you make those beans the right way, by burying them in a pot in the ground? lol - I feel like brown bread in a can should be in here too. definitely Whoopie Pies as well.. Californians seriously don't know what corn chowder is? Dang.. and Needhams are basically the best thing ever.
I'm from maine. Born and raised in a tiny little town ..i I like corn chowder. Moxie is gross. Iv never heard of "Maine beans" it looks gross though. And lobster mainly comes from maine. So yea its good. And what in the world is a chocolate covered potato? I think this channel made that up. I do know mainers love there meat an taters and love sheperds pie
Needhams are made with potato mixed with coconut. The potato is the binder that holds the filling together. Not as popular as when there were more homemade candy places in Maine. Moxie DOES NOT taste anything resembling Mr. Pibb!!!!!! It is way better!!!!! Corn chowder was a staple food made in the wintertime when stores of food were running low. Potatoes, corn and onion were the heartier vegetables that lasted the longest in your root cellar. I make mine using evaporated milk and a whole stick of butter and I do not thicken it. That's what saltine crackers are for. That was a true lobster roll. Bun grilled or toasted, and no fillers. I personally do not like lobster, but love haddock!!!! Those baked beans were not pea beans. I think they were kidney beans which were not used by our ancestors to make baked beans Look for B&M Baked Beans in your store. They are still baked in Portland Maine, and ARE the baked bean recipe of Maine.
Lived in Maine all my life, my mom made awesome baked beans and they looked nothing like that! No idea what the potato chocolates taste like, never heard of them before.
I am from Maine and Moxie is gross, corn chowder is good, I have never seen beans like that, lobster rolls are well known and I have never seen a potato candy in my life.
I'm thinking the potato candy things are a County thing. I've been central/downeast my entire life and quite honestly...I've just now learned about the existence of potato candy (from a video made in California haha)
Matt H The potato candies are Needhams. I live in CA, but grew up in Lewiston. There used to be a little store out on Sabattus St. Not sure if it was where they made them or if they just sold them but you could get them in any variety store. They came in an orange paper sleeve. They are made with potatoes and coconut. No potato flavor or consistency whatsoever. Kind of like a drier version of Mounds.
Bake beans look and taste far better then what they are over acting on. I think was Moxie (1870s) was before Dr. Pep (1885) Come on, little bit over the top with the drama. I guaranteed you, if I cooked for you, you would love it. I cook traditional Maine food. JMPO
0:18 ok I'm lovin these two together! More Adam & Maggie! Matt & Phil, they have an "Odd Couple" vibe...lol "suicide would be better in a bread bowl"...the woman has a point
I'm from Maine. Those beans are NOT. The 10% who LIKE Moxie have an underlying psychological problem. 99.9999% of people on earth would kill another human being for a Maine lobster roll. The remaining are allergic to seafood. (Pro tip: When visiting...buy a few live lobsters at $8/lb at Shaws or Hannafords, cook them (its quick) and mix the meat w/ miracle whip on a hot dog roll. Add a pinch of paprika. You've just made a non-tourist equivalent to the $15+ Maine lobster roll) I agree with the multiple locals and ex-pats in this thread...fire the person who overlooked the whoopie pie. We love visitors. We really do. Just for christs sake use your friggen blinkers. Also, the ocean isn't going anywhere. When you see it PLEASE DONT LOCK UP YOUR BRAKES AND PARK YOUR CAR IN TRAFFIC, THEN STAND IN TRAFFIC TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE OCEAN. Please. __P L E A S E__ :) EDIT: I will add that these videos are hilarious! I would love to see a role reversal though...california cuisine in front of mainers. Drop a rock lobster in front of them...guarantee one of the first comments will be "did they forget the claws?"
Yeah I'm born and raised in Maine and I'm not sure where or what those beans are..... Homemade Maine baked beans are friggn AWESOME! So is corn chowder! Moxie I'm all set with and tbh I've never heard of a potato candie....
Being a born Mainer I wouldn't even eat those beans. Those were nasty dried out mini poops. I also, wait for it, hate seafood! I know what a shocker! But watching Californians try and attempt their way through "our" foods was very entertaining.
As a born and raised Maine-ah, everything looked good except for the beans. Over the year, I have eaten far too many baked bean dinners, and that includes a lot of Saturday night fundraisers at a grange hall or a local firehouse, to know those were not done properly. In addition, who serves them without brown bread? Also, you may want to include a whoppie pie next time (screw you Pennslyvania).
For the record Moxie is an acquired taste, Lobster is only an outta staters / tourist food, Corn chowda is comfort food, Needhams not potato candies, and who is the moron that cooked those beans? Did you have one can and screw it up and figure WTH might as well go for it anyway? I LOVE MOXIE!!!!!!!!!
Completely disagree on the lobster thing. Everyone in my family will eat them all day long and we're all natives. Moxie really is terrible, but to each their own haha. Sometimes I get paid in lobster. As long as my lease and overhead is covered...I will always accept lobster as payment hahahaha And yeah those beans are a complete disaster
Matt H My ex-father-in-law was a fish man and he would bring us a bushel of lobster bodies because all the out-landers wanted was the claws. Glad they were so dumb. Good feasting. Drawn butter, yeah, wicked good.
The beans and chowda served cold in plastic bowls no wonder they didnt like it. And they were probably not even home made by a true Mainer. I've lived in Maine almost 40 years and I've met 3 people who like Moxie. For something sweet fresh blueberry pie or even a home made whoopie pie would have been better.
I'm born and raised in Maine. Moxie is the only thing they got right (Most Mainers don't like it either though). Lobster roll not so much, mostly we eat lobster boiled whole and dipped in melted butter. Corn Chowder, no just no. Seafood chowder would have been perfect for this, much better than corn and way more Maine. What the holy abomination in hell were those things they called beans, those couldn't have tasted anything like real Maine baked beans. Also you forgot red hotdogs in butter toasted frankfurt roll. You guys face planted on this taste test.
I live in CA but was raised in Maine and what they should have focused on is the red hot dogs and frankfurter rolls. They are the best and you can't get them here. When my mom visits she brings hot dogs and frankfurter rolls....and sometimes some lobster!
Fredrick London Steamed clams. or clam chowder. Here in Virginia and Florida you get something they call clams but I don't know what they are. They're not clams. I tried to make fish chowder for my son (FL) and daughter (VA) but you HAVE to have cold water fish: (hake, flounder, cod, like that) catfish, chub and anything from warm water - nononono
Corn chowder is definitely more New England than Maine... Moxie = Carbonated shoe polish... Those beans were definitely like nothing I've seen here. They could've gotten a can of B&M beans and been far more accurate (my dad grew up in a house where you could see the neon sign in Portland)... Lobster roll... Cliche... 75% of people from away think we all either live on the coast or are part of Canada. Plus that was a pretty pathetic lobster roll... Definitely NOT from the Eagles Nest... Needhams... Yummm is all I can say... Though I think they should've tried a Whoopie Pie (not from LaBree's God forbid).
Moxie is an acquired taste, a handful of people like it but some people can stand it (like me.) as for corn chowder and baked beans a lot of people make it differently but I feel its more popular in New England. I have no idea where you got the baked beans from but those definitely are not the like the baked beans here! our real baked beans are much much better! *drools* and again everyone has a different recipe for homemade baked beans. Lobster rolls are made with just our hot dog rolls but I've heard we have slightly different hot dog rolls then other places.
I see someone already beat me to it, but yeah, Moxie came out before Mr. Pibb. So Mr. Pibb is the knock-off. lol However, as a born and raised Mainer, I find Moxie disgusting. :P That aftertaste ... eughhhh.
Food in this video looks bad, and made weirdly. Even the lobster roll is stacked on top of the bun and not down inside. Good try at imitated the Maine food tho. Maybe actually come to Maine first and eat. INstead of just doing ure GOogle search or latest web poll.
I was born and raised in Maine and I have never seen those beans ever. Ahaha. The moxie is just nasty. Corn chowder all depends on who makes it. Some good, some bad. And ive never seen those chocolate things in my life haha.
That's stereo types I live in Maine and I haven't had most of these things. Moxie isn't even big in Maine. The only things I was had in this vid is corn chowder (which doesn't look like the one your eating), moxie
not a moxy fan myself or those beans (I like regular bake beans) and who eats a chocolate covered potato? I have lived in Maine a lot of my like and not heard of that
Sydney Perkins Probably couldn't use a "trade name" although you can find them all over Maine and everyone uses the name. They originated in Portland in 1872.
honestly, i think all corn chowder is disgusting! and i cannot stand the smell, and i live in maine. too bad you guys didnt give them clam chowder, thats the delicious stuff :)
Maniac living in California here. These guys have to be overacting. All these foods, except for Moxie are delicious. I've seen beans like that. Bean hole beans are thick and full of molassesly goodness.
No way did a Mainer actually make those beans. Those horrid pieces of junk look more like something you scrape off your shoe. And what about Needhams and Whoopie Pies? I bet those portly lil critics would be changing their tune when they got some real Maine sweets in them.
Could you have picked people that were any more annoying? These "adults" reacted worse then a 5 year old eating his vegetables. I wonder if they know how obnoxious they are?
Born and raised in Maine, and I've NEVER seen baked beans like that... they look WAAYYY overcooked. And also, MOXIE ROCKS!!!
I'm an Oregonian that moved to Maine about 8 months ago. I will admit that I've fallen in love with Moxie. A lot of people told me they don't like it, but I guess it's a love it or hate it thing.
Moxie- damn near the best soda.
Clam Chowder is better than corn.
Potato chocolates are wicked sweet.
I make lobster rolls that look better than that.
And those beans are nothing I've ever seen up here.
Proud to be Maine born and raised.
I was born and raised in Maine, and those did not look like traditional Maine baked beans. Try again.
I'm from Maine, and can confirm that we all live in lighthouses
PigWizard And lobster boats.
And we all have a pet moose
Mr. Pibb came out in 1972, Moxie came out in 1876. Also, were these actual Maine foods or California store bought versions? (Mind you Moxie doesn't taste good either way.)
Pewwer42 Not just that but Mr. Pibb actually tastes good lmao
Pewwer42 Knock-off Mr. Pibb? Have they ever had Mr. Pibb?
I just don't know about the baked beans, I live in Maine and have never seen beans that look like that. The "potato chocolates" are needums & are different coming from everyone who makes them.

Katellyn Lanteigne Never heard of chocolate covered potato can't even imagine it
I don't know where you got those beans but those were definitely NOT what baked beans from Maine look like. Moxie is the vegemite of Maine. 90% of (local) people can't stand it, while the other 10% swear by it. Great video tho, I want lobster now.
Thanks for the kind words, Jen! If we ever make it out to Maine, we'll have to give the baked beans another shot. :)
Or just find a Mainah transplant where ever you are :) my mom and I are in Houston, and we make authentic Maine food! Love your videos, keep up the great work!
I totally agree. I've never seen baked beans that look like those. The ones I grew up with were smaller, much lighter in color and had a runny liquid around the beans.
***** red snappers?!?! w/ B&M beans.
red snappers are red dyed hot dogs.
***** Now that's a fun-looking veggie!
WHAT ABOUT WHOOPIE PIES?!?!?!?!?
Sarah Lindell Yeah! Whoopie Pies. Wow, I miss them.
Sarah Lindell And Italians and Dagwoods. Can't get them either down south.
Sarah Lindell YEAH seriously??? Its like they figured the lobster roll would be so overwhelmingly good that they had to throw some nasty crap in to balance it out lol! I would bet good money that not a single one of them would dislike whoopee pies.... How could you NOT like those right?!
Sarah Lindell Good question. They actually reviewed whoopie pies on their Penn. video. The hell? Penn and whoopie pies?
You should of had fiddleheads in this
from Lowell, MA where Moxie was created. Best soda ever. No one else likes it so more for me!
My family's from maine and i go every summer, THE FOOD IS LITERALLY HEAVEN.
I also enjoy Moxie and I'm from New Hampshire. My grandmother always had it and I first had it when I was about 8. Good stuff.
I have never laughed so hard over a video on here! The "regret" face made it all.
farmboycountry12 Glad we could share a laugh!
I can watch these videos all day, on repeat! You guys always make me happy!
These people are exactly why I'm glad I'm from Maine and not from the west coast
Am I the only Mainer who thinks that it was a MUST have for them to have had an Amato's Italian??
Yes hello I'm a Mainer and, while I don't like some "Mainer foods," I'm one of the few that LOVE Moxie! I don't even drink soda, but I'll make an exception for Moxie. Also I know potato candies as Needhams. Anyone else?
+Kailey Harris Moxie is my favorite soda by a long shot, not even sure what second place would be

You need to do Massachusetts - White Birch Beer (see Polar Beverages), Necco Wafers, Boston Baked Beans with Brown Bread (it's a specialty canned bread - best one commercially available is by B&M), Indian Pudding, and Joe Froggers.
Ellen Lincourt Our tasters would be in HEAVEN. Those all sound ridiculously good.
Ellen Lincourt Agree on all except what are Joe Froggers? I'm a misplaced Mainer.
isnt... the B&M bean plant in Portland maine... Just saying. but I do agree Boston food episode! Polar orange dry... is the best!
The roots of brown bread goes back to about 1650 in Massachusetts. It its also a heritage of the molasses trade. B&M may have their plant in Maine but the mother root of brown brewed is Massachusetts.
Maine was made in Massachusetts... So all good things start in mass.
Lol cant forget about whoopie pies thats one of our things too
Love me some Moxie
that guy with the beanie, his facial expressions are hilarious, and once again this was so entertaining y'all lol
Loved the reactions, agree on the corn chowder though, and I do give props for the one for actually giving the lobster roll a try :D
Buncha weenies. Put it ALL in a bread bowl like that is the solution of life in California! And Moxie is awesome!
moxie is the only soda made 100% out of natural things so don't say it's not a natural taste.
How the hell can you not like corn chowder !?!
Mainer here.. Did you make those beans the right way, by burying them in a pot in the ground? lol - I feel like brown bread in a can should be in here too. definitely Whoopie Pies as well.. Californians seriously don't know what corn chowder is? Dang.. and Needhams are basically the best thing ever.

dakota stone I think those beans were way overdone bean-hole beans
Needhams are made with potato mixed with coconut. The potato is the binder that holds the filling together. Not as popular as when there were more homemade candy places in Maine.
Moxie DOES NOT taste anything resembling Mr. Pibb!!!!!! It is way better!!!!!
Corn chowder was a staple food made in the wintertime when stores of food were running low. Potatoes, corn and onion were the heartier vegetables that lasted the longest in your root cellar.

no steak and potatoe or blueberry pie. :{
All mainers will agree, the baked beans aren't made right, and Moxie is always disgusting
MOXIE IS AWESOME!!!!! Yes those beans look like they were cooked way wrong.
The producers should consider flying the californians to maine for a more accurate taste test. Bonus points if they send them here in January (joking)
Drag Helix found Moxie in Colorado last week and I know where to get it in St. Louis!!
I am from Maine and Moxie is gross, corn chowder is good, I have never seen beans like that, lobster rolls are well known and I have never seen a potato candy in my life.

Sometimes I get paid in lobster. As long as my lease and overhead is covered...I will always accept lobster as payment hahahaha
And yeah those beans are a complete disaster
Matt H My ex-father-in-law was a fish man and he would bring us a bushel of lobster bodies because all the out-landers wanted was the claws. Glad they were so dumb. Good feasting. Drawn butter, yeah, wicked good.
How about oystah stew or clam chowdah?
I'm a mainer and I love moxie and those beans are not even made right just buy some b&m beans
The beans and chowda served cold in plastic bowls no wonder they didnt like it. And they were probably not even home made by a true Mainer. I've lived in Maine almost 40 years and I've met 3 people who like Moxie. For something sweet fresh blueberry pie or even a home made whoopie pie would have been better.
I'm born and raised in Maine. Moxie is the only thing they got right (Most Mainers don't like it either though). Lobster roll not so much, mostly we eat lobster boiled whole and dipped in melted butter. Corn Chowder, no just no. Seafood chowder would have been perfect for this, much better than corn and way more Maine. What the holy abomination in hell were those things they called beans, those couldn't have tasted anything like real Maine baked beans. Also you forgot red hotdogs in butter toasted frankfurt roll. You guys face planted on this taste test.
Fredrick London Very true about the lobster. Rolls are usually sold to summer dubs.
I live in CA but was raised in Maine and what they should have focused on is the red hot dogs and frankfurter rolls. They are the best and you can't get them here. When my mom visits she brings hot dogs and frankfurter rolls....and sometimes some lobster!
Fredrick London Steamed clams. or clam chowder. Here in Virginia and Florida you get something they call clams but I don't know what they are. They're not clams. I tried to make fish chowder for my son (FL) and daughter (VA) but you HAVE to have cold water fish: (hake, flounder, cod, like that) catfish, chub and anything from warm water - nononono
Elli Cooper and real salt pork.
Agreeing for the most part, but lobster should be steamed not boiled.
Corn chowder is definitely more New England than Maine... Moxie = Carbonated shoe polish... Those beans were definitely like nothing I've seen here. They could've gotten a can of B&M beans and been far more accurate (my dad grew up in a house where you could see the neon sign in Portland)... Lobster roll... Cliche... 75% of people from away think we all either live on the coast or are part of Canada. Plus that was a pretty pathetic lobster roll... Definitely NOT from the Eagles Nest... Needhams... Yummm is all I can say... Though I think they should've tried a Whoopie Pie (not from LaBree's God forbid).
Moxie is so delicious!
Moxie is an acquired taste, a handful of people like it but some people can stand it (like me.) as for corn chowder and baked beans a lot of people make it differently but I feel its more popular in New England. I have no idea where you got the baked beans from but those definitely are not the like the baked beans here! our real baked beans are much much better! *drools* and again everyone has a different recipe for homemade baked beans. Lobster rolls are made with just our hot dog rolls but I've heard we have slightly different hot dog rolls then other places.
I see someone already beat me to it, but yeah, Moxie came out before Mr. Pibb. So Mr. Pibb is the knock-off. lol However, as a born and raised Mainer, I find Moxie disgusting. :P That aftertaste ... eughhhh.
moxie was a medicine then it was a soda and its the forerunner of mr. pibb
You forgot the whoopie pies!
Please do Missouri!
Food in this video looks bad, and made weirdly. Even the lobster roll is stacked on top of the bun and not down inside. Good try at imitated the Maine food tho. Maybe actually come to Maine first and eat. INstead of just doing ure GOogle search or latest web poll.
I was born and raised in Maine and I have never seen those beans ever. Ahaha. The moxie is just nasty. Corn chowder all depends on who makes it. Some good, some bad. And ive never seen those chocolate things in my life haha.
Seriously? You've never seen a Needham? Usually they are square, not a glob on a plate. Good stuff. :) (Available at all Reny's locations..lol)
Kristy Hutchinson
They look different from Needhams I've seen, and I've never heard them called "Potato Candies."
Kristy Hutchinson I figured they were County candies. They're made in Auburn or something? Renys right down the road...thanks for the tip!
PABWECG Me neither. I'm now in Virginia and MISS my square Needhams.
That's stereo types I live in Maine and I haven't had most of these things. Moxie isn't even big in Maine. The only things I was had in this vid is corn chowder (which doesn't look like the one your eating), moxie
not a moxy fan myself or those beans (I like regular bake beans) and who eats a chocolate covered potato? I have lived in Maine a lot of my like and not heard of that
I Dont Live On The Coast I Live In Aroostook By Caribou In Presquel isle Drp
So Nothing Special Happens There
WaffleBroz Productionz Washburn/Caribou/Fort Fairfield representing!
never seen those beans up here :e
if it was "invented" in Maine that does not make it a favorite.
Those beans don't look Maine-style
what's bad about corn chowder? and yes, as everyone has said, those beans are NOT FROM MAINE. and i've never had a potato candy in my life.
They're not potato cookies,they're needums,And if you've never had them,find them.Grew up in Auburn,next to where they were made.The best!!!
Now I have to find out what's in those beans!
No one in maine really eats most of these foods
Those california folks' tastebuds would be shocked anyway for tasting anything but quiche and tofu
corn chowder is from maine?
Was that chocolate covered potato? I have never heard of that, but maybe because I was born on the coast and not up county?
Hahaha they're needums but I don't think they knew the name so they called them "potato candies" or something lol
Sydney Perkins Probably couldn't use a "trade name" although you can find them all over Maine and everyone uses the name. They originated in Portland in 1872.
From Maine, absolutely HATE Moxie. Don't know many people who like it lol.
krystal pike same here, I'd rather drink cough syrup
I wonder if Matt and Phil are a couple. if they are, they give me life
Looks like the tasters liked South Carolina's food way better.
honestly, i think all corn chowder is disgusting! and i cannot stand the smell, and i live in maine. too bad you guys didnt give them clam chowder, thats the delicious stuff :)
Me sitting here drinking moxie....
Also they might have just had a poorly made chowdah! No one can deny a chowdah. It didn't look thick enough.
alison is such a cutie!
Baked beans are so god damn good.
Crock pot all day with a ham and onions, fuck yer.
I live in Maine, and don't feel bad, i hate most of this crap too xD
Maniac living in California here. These guys have to be overacting. All these foods, except for Moxie are delicious. I've seen beans like that. Bean hole beans are thick and full of molassesly goodness.
WTF happened with those beans. Got me wondering if whoever made the chowder did so with sour milk.
I'm gonna punch if they'd did that to a lobster roll and corn chowder but other than that... yeah true
Tough mainer foodie
wow. pick the worst possible versions why dontcha. well, other then the moxie.
potato =/= candy
No way did a Mainer actually make those beans. Those horrid pieces of junk look more like something you scrape off your shoe. And what about Needhams and Whoopie Pies? I bet those portly lil critics would be changing their tune when they got some real Maine sweets in them.
tigeriz100 Lol,they called the needums 'potato cookies'.Makes everyone want one,lol.You cant taste that.
Could you have picked people that were any more annoying? These "adults" reacted worse then a 5 year old eating his vegetables. I wonder if they know how obnoxious they are?
