Homesick for RI's finest fare?

As Rhode Islanders, we all have "that" story - the first time we recieved the raised eyebrow after we ordered coffee milk in front of new college friends or asked a business partner for the best place to get stuffies closest to the office .... How far outside of New England you are when you make these foodie-faux-pas will determine how clearly you remember "the incident".

Its true that for such a small state, we certainly have a lot of Rhode Island-isms.

But, a new exhibit at Culinary Arts Museum at Johnson & Wales University celebrates our 'quirky' culture in Rhode Island Small State, Big Taste. (ProJo.com posted this video tour.)


My brother enjoys a Del's in 2003.



You have to admit, nothing is quite as refreshing as a Del's Frozen Lemonade on a hot summer day. 

There's even a mix - so whether you're trying educate those from the other less enlightened states or to bring a bit of home to those far away, you can make Del's anwhere you happen to be. 

Rhode Island Small State, Big Taste runs through July 1, 2011.
