Review: Kashmir Indian Cuisine of New Hampshire

Kashmir Salem NH exteriorThe building may look worn down on the outside but once you’re inside Kashmir Indian Cuisine in Salem, N.H., you’ll be surprised at what you find.

Check-in: 6 New England Things to Try

Caption Challenge: Woodman’s of Litchfield

I have to admit that I was really amused by some of the caption creations from the first “Write the Caption Challenge” for the following picture:

Clams from Woodman's of LitchfieldWhile this pile of fried goodness isn’t octopus tentacles or pork loins, it is a pile of what “Yankee Magazine” has dubbed the “Best Fried Clams” for 2011.

At the unassuming Mel’s Funway Park in Litchfield, NH, you will find Woodman’s of Litchfield, an offshoot of Woodman’s of Essex (Massachusetts), a New England staple that has laid claim to inventing fried clams in 1916.
