Maine

The Pine Tree State borders Canada on three sides. It also shares a border with New Hampshire and has a long, rocky coastline along the Atlantic Ocean, making Maine the only state in the contiguous forty-eight that shares a border with just one other state. Maine also sets itself apart by being the only state in the Union whose name can be spoken in one syllable. Maine is synonymous with lobster. But because early colonists considered them barely edible, commercial lobster fishing did not get started in Maine until the mid-1800s. It was cod that first enticed Europeans into crossing the Atlantic to fish off the banks of coastal Maine, even before the pilgrims reached the North American continent in 1620. Maine is not all seafood. Other specialties include wonderful blueberries and fiddlehead ferns. The countryside is 90-percent forested with lots of wild game, including moose, deer, and bear, making it a prime place for hunters. Like Louisiana, Maine has a sizeable Acadian community. Driven from eastern Canada by the British in 1755, many Acadians settled in northern Maine, where their French-Canadian culture endures.

Cajun Crawfish and Shrimp Etouffe

Reviewed on jun. 30, 2009 by tracemclark 
This is pretty awesome! Being from Louisiana, I have tried different recipes to see if I can find "THE ONE"....and this is it. The only thing I did different was use chicken broth, as I didn't have any fish stock. It was great.

Fluff Dip for Fruit

Reviewed on jun. 23, 2009 by aeval 
delish! i do have to point out that it is rather thick - i made it without the amaretto & compensated with an extra half-cup of milk, but it still was too heavy to dip cake in without it crumbling, even with extra milk...still good though, especially on strawberries!
