As a professor of history and foodways I have been looking electoral campaigns through the lens of food and doing a related series. Today let's talk about the current New Hampshire
Republican Primary race. During the summer months New Hampshire lobster bakes and clam bakes topped several campaign managers' must do events. Campaigns event list. Stump speeches moved indoors with the arrival of cold weather in the fall. I found 40
registered breakfasts with the voters meet and greet events held at favorite
local eateries such as the Old Salt Restaurant in Hampton, Coach Stop Restaurant
in Londonderry, The Friendly Toast and Geno’s Chowder and Sandwich Shop in
Portsmouth, Joey’s in Amherst, Bonhoeffer’s Café in Nashua, the Country Cooking
Circle in Epsom, Lindy’s Diner in Keene, the Village Inn in Bedford, Lena’s
Lodge in Rindge, and Weeks Restaurant in downtown Dover just to name a few.
Activist also held breakfast event in private homes, political clubs, and civic
institutions such as Rotary and or Lions clubs. I am not sure if a Politics and Eggs Breakfast event is a distinctly
New Hampshire institution, but from all accounts it’s a necessity to win the
state in which a voter decides who he or she will support after they have
shaken a candidate’s hand three or more times and broken bread with them. More
on lunch and dinner on the campaign trail in New Hampshire tomorrow. In
case you were wondering a typical New Hampshire breakfast might include smoked
bacon, ham and salmon, farm fresh eggs, French toast, jams, breads and muffins.
