best soft drink ever
Polar brand makes clear birch beer, I just saw some at Hannaford last night., and for those who don't know, it is flavored like checkerberry or wintergreen. The one that reminds me of root beer is Sarsaparilla ("sassparilla") I like Moxie, too
What do you put in your Ham Salad?
I have always found "real" ham to be too salty in ham salad, whether I used the deli sandwich type ham or a ham that I baked or boiled myself. So, my fall-back position is canned luncheon meat (Spam type) with the fat scraped off-(I know,I know!). You mash that with a potato masher and add a mixture of half mayo and half homemade green tomato relish, not a cucumber pickle in sight, 'cause I can't stand 'em.
Casual Quick lunch in Portsmouth NH
Cafe Espresso is a favorite of the locals. I was directed there by the staff at Anchorage Inn and Suites. It is open for breakfast and lunch and I recommend it for the parameters you have listed. It is on Islington Street in the Plaza mall.
Lobster Rolls
I just checked the best local place I know for lobster rolls, delivered. At the Korner Store in Oakland, Maine, a large lobster roll is 17.95, plus tax. They will make it with or without mayo or lettuce or order "light" on either of those. It comes in an Italian sandwich roll and consists of all knuckle and claw meat, no minced up filler stuff. It costs 9.95 plus tax for one about half that size.
