    They don’t call it “beantown” for nothing. With a history of being served during Native American meals, beans slow-baked in molasses are not only a nod to times of yore, but also to when the city was awash in molasses during its part in the “triangular trade.” The dish is traditionally served in a small crock, with brown bread sitting sidecar.

    Milk and syrup make up a milkshake, but add ice cream, and it miraculously becomes a frappe. Thick and filling, this dessert drink is an exercise in living your best life. Ann from Easton called the frappe “perfect” and recommended Sharon-based Crescent Ridge Dairy.

    While we wouldn’t call this American classic a Boston original, adding lobster to its melty goodness is a recent New England tradition that’s sure to stick around. Because lobster and cheese. J.T. T. from North Quincy said of the dish that they “haven’t had it for years but enjoy lobster and mac together.”

    This seemingly simple Boston favorite sparks huge debate: Should the lobster be mixed in mayo or melted butter? The dish can be “deceptively simple, yet easy to screw up,” reader Mark T. from Pembroke said. “When it’s done right, there’s nothing better. I moved to California years ago, and I dream of a fresh lobster roll.”

    Not for the faint of appetite, the area’s roast beef sandwiches are stacked with heaps upon heaps of roast beef.

Rose F. from Brookline said, “I love the different food items that make up a clambake. … It is the quintessential summer meal!”

    Popular in frugal New England kitchens, Yankee pot roast of yesteryear included tough cuts of beef roasted for hours to tenderize, and was served with root vegetables (think: carrots, potatoes, parsnip, and turnip). Whitney S. from North Easton told us, “It’s the perfect dish for cold New England winters and my go-to when there’s a Nor’easter.”
