If you grew up in Rhode Island, you could enjoy -

quahog chowder and fritters
zeppoles (a cream filled pastry served on St. Joseph's Day)
coffee ice cream
cabinets (milkshakes everywhere else)

And when you went to Dunkin Donuts if you did not specify, your coffee was "regular", which meant it was served with sugar and cream.

I have to add my two cents here-

Part of my New England upbringing included
the following food entre's-

corn beef & cabbage,
baked beans
welsh rarebit
lots of spaghetti
pot roast ( very dry)
clam chowder
and haddock (on fridays)

Now I live in Illinois .. which is a whole other
food experience... and
I miss Lobster & fried clams
(whole not strips)...

PS every new Englander gets their fat and grease
from Dunkin Donuts- there's one on every corner..
