OK everyone, this here woman is likely to be in the States to buy a new
boat. I've researched boats and everything to do with that
exhaustively. What I want to know is about the thing dear to my heart,
food.
I'm likely to be quite a bit South of NY. What should I eat? What do
you think will impress a Brit?

Hi Paige

If you ever get to the backwoods of the Fl Panhandle, give us a call, we'd love to say hi.

As far as the food goes, try it all; let your stomach decide! Just watch out for those Yankees, they've got some mighty odd thoughts when it comes to food. Come to think about it, so do those Southerners.

Depends on what you like. If you're around the Baltimore area, then you
need to crack some crabs or find a good crabcake, but stay away from the
tourist traps. Find a local and have them point you to the real deal. NJ
offers its own seafood fare, lobster can be good.

A PA native, I can attest to the "good eats" in PA Dutch Country that I
call home. Plain home-style cooking, but stuff you won't find elsewhere.

No matter where you travel, there are regional specialties that you can
make an adventure of finding, and the further off the main roads you
venture, the better the finds! Ask locals where to go, they'll be
delighted you asked and happy to direct you to their favorite spot for
the best food. There's a tremendous range of culinary variety between NY
and VA, and more beyond.

Bon Apetit!

Paige,

There is an American TV show called "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives".
It's a fun watch, and they highlight places usually known only to
locals. Best of all, their web site allows you to find ones near where
you are staying. It's available here:

It's a daunting task, buying a new (to me) boat in the USA though
thankfully we share (nearly) the same language :-) I'm waiting for the
results of a survey before I book tickets and commit to flying over.
Trying some of the food delicacies dear to the hearts of local people is
going to be one method of stress busting for me, along with meeting some
of the people off this list.
Thank you all so very much for your replies, both on here and directly
to me.
