The weather in New Hampshire often runs a little cooler than the rest of New England, perfect for tucking in with some warm, mouth-watering foods. These 10 New Hampshire foods will have your tummy rumbling. Don’t blame us! New Hampshire food is just delicious! If you’re wondering what to eat while visiting New Hampshire, this list is a good place to start. But don’t confine yourself. The state is also developing a great reputation for craft breweries. Foodie options abound once you cross the New Hampshire border.
- Apple Cider Donuts
Via Tsuji/flickr These New England favorites are a delicious treat for anyone in New Hampshire. Plain or with a cinnamon-sugar glaze, these old-fashioned treats will never go out of style. They’re often associated with apple picking in the fall because most farms stock them, but you can enjoy these sweet treats year round, no labor required.
- Venison

- Spiked Cider
Petritent/flickr The rest of the country seems to have caught on to the hard cider train, but New Hampshire residents have long loved warm apple cider with rum and cinnamon on a cold November night. Make it yourself by spicing the cider with herbs and fruits or order it out for a fancy presentation. Either way, it’s an incredibly satisfying beverage.
- Clam Chowder
jpelligan/flickr New England Clam Chowder could also be known as New Hampshire Clam chowder. This creamy soup is a favorite in the Granite State. This is best eaten if you’re on the New Hampshire coastline, say in Portsmouth, where you know the seafood is fresh out of the water.
- Apple Pie
Invisible Helicopter/flickr New Hampshire is home to many rolling apple orchards, so it’s no surprise that we love apple pie. New England was one of the first places settled in the United States, so it’s no surprise they have a penchant for classic American dishes like this one.
- Maple Syrup
Chiorot’sRun/flickr The rest of the country may use Maple Syrup for pancakes, but you know that it can be used for everything and anything, from making to topping your favorite ice cream. The trick is to get the truest, high-quality maple syrup, not this plastic bottle grocery store nonsense. We recommend buying from a local farm where you know they’ve tapped the trees themselves.
- Yogurt
Rebecca Seigel/flickr Yogurt may not be the first food that springs to mind when you think of New Hampshire, but popular Stonyfield Yogurt is based right here in Londonderry! When their commercials talk about Stonyfield farms, they mean a very real farm in New Hampshire where the recipe originated.
- Mead
Rachel Lovinger/Flickr Everyone loves a good glass of wine, but this is New Hampshire’s own unique take, made from honey rather than grapes. The classic beverage is often associated with the Vikings and given the cold weather we don’t think New Hampshire residents would hate that comparison.
- Fried Lake Bass
Kerri/flickr New Hampshire residents also love to fish and to eat their catch! Lake Bass is a common catch in the lakes region of New Hampshire and nothing spices up a local fish like a little time in the frying pan.
- Chocolate Mice
L.A. Burdick/flickr New Hampshire is famous for L A Burdick, the Walpole Chocolatier who makes these adorable - and tasty - little treats. L.A. Burdick has European culinary roots and many locations around the country, but the New Hampshire store is particularly cozy.
