Whether on a cold winter day or at a warm summer barbecue, New Hampshire residents love to refuel with old-school New England treats. To some, these items might be considered weird; to us, they are downright delicious! From sweets, to beverages (alcoholic and non) to main courses, here are 11 weird and iconic New Hampshire foods.
