New England and its native sons and daughters have made many historic contributions to the United States of America. Along with other patriots from Pennsylvania and Virginia, New Englanders helped to found our nation. Harvard, the first American university, is located in Boston, MA. The American Industrial Revolution began in Pawtucket, RI. Many of the great minds of political and literary thought were New Englanders, including eight presidents and nine vice presidents.
One of the things most often over looked, however, when reviewing the historic contributions of New England, is its cuisine. Despite its small geographic area, New England has a rich and diverse cuisine that represents the culture and food traditions of the waves of immigrants who have settled there since Colonial times. New England cuisine also proudly incorporates the delicious regional ingredients that make it famous. Simplicity and the celebration of basic flavour define New England cuisine.
Here is a list of some our favorite New England culinary delights:
Lobster Rolls If you have a bucket list, you have to put eating a lobster roll on it. A full pound of lobster tail meat tossed with mayo on a grilled roll. That’s it! Another version includes drawn butter and diced scallions (our favorite). And when you’re looking for this foodie delight, nobody does it better than Red’s Eats in Wiscasset, ME.
Chowder Whether you prefer clam or fish, cream or clear, New England is the place to go for chowder. New York may make a claim with its famous red chowder, but you just can’t beat New England style chowder.
New England Clam Bake Held on festive occasions and best experienced on a beach in early autumn, the New England Clam Bake is the very definition of simplicity. Lobster, mussels, crabs, steamers, sausage, potatoes, corn on the cob and a generous amount of seaweed are layered in a bed of hot coals and steamed for hours. The clam bake is the hallmark of New England cuisine.
Maple Syrup Sure maple syrup is collected all over country, but nothing compares to the delicious flavour of New England maple syrup. The hills of New England are full of maple trees, and every spring the sugar houses boil the syrup from the sap collected in winter.
Apples When European immigrants settled in New England, they often carried apple seeds in their pockets. When they arrived they planted the seeds and tended to their trees. Today New England has an incredible variety of apples that make those two distinctive American delights, apple pie and apple cider.

The following analysis uses Google data sets. Previous Gluten Free Pages research showed that the UK started with a healthy ‘search per celiac per month’ value of 2.2 in 2004. However, while Australia was in front of the UK and remains so, by 2008 both the USA and Canada had overtaken this GFP market measure value. The UK gluten free online demand (searches) trend has been very flat over the last five years, until last year.
When the top 50 monthly gluten associated searches are segmented into seven subcategories (see table below), it can be seen that each of the categories received a similar increase. While these increases are very large, it was found that all other leading gluten free online demand countries experienced an even stronger growth increase.
The first thing to notice about the gluten free search terms is that the top 50 Google Gluten associated search terms increased over the last year from 809K to 1.3M (+62%). The main group’s (gluten free) key phrases absolute volume changes were to gluten (201K -> 301K) and gluten free ( 135K -> 246K searches).
TOP 50 proportions
The composition of the proportions of each group are significantly different from the standard proportions experienced by other leading online demand countries. For example, the USA NOV 2009 gluten free group proportion data shows what is considered to be the standard proportions representative of leading ‘celiac searches per month’ countries (eg: USA, Canada, Australia).
The proportion of the top 50’s main generic gluten free group remained stable at 46% of the top 50 searches and the second largest group ‘celiacs’ decreased from 24% to 19%. The table below shows that the overall increase in the top 50 Google terms was produced by an increase in all groups search volumes.
One of the more interesting trends is the growth in the GF specific food group. In that group the leading phrases are still GF bread and flour, however a significant number of people are starting to search for cakes, ‘dairy free gluten’ and chocolate.
LONG TERM GROWTH
Google permits trend analysis on individual terms, but plotting the top 50 that comprise the main analysis would provide little useful insight. The phrase ‘gluten free’ represents 41% of ALL searches within the generic group so its two year trend is plotted below as a proxy.
It is noted that not all subregions of the UK have trend data available, however England trend data shows almost an exact match to UK data.
Previous GFP trend line research and analysis for the UK shows that there is no particular seasonal trend. This is unusual in that most other leading gluten free search countries show strong seasonal trends over the last five years. The linear forecast over the past year extrapolates to a growth of 23% for this one term (compared with 10% for 2008).
The following table shows the Dec 2009 leading gluten free search citites in the UK, and their relative strength.
UK City ………………………GF Search Importance
St Albans ……………………1.0
Thames Ditton……………0.67
Milton Keynes……………0.605
Reading……………………..0.595
Sheffield…………………….0.575
Oxford………………………..0.57
Watford……………………..0.57
Hull…………………………….0.545
Poplar………………………..0.54
Edinburgh…………………..0.535
CONCLUSION
Previous analysis on UK searches up to 2008 showed that while it had a relatively high ‘celiac search per month’ value of 2.2 it had relatively flat growth. The analysis for 2009 shows that there has been significant growth in searches in the overall gluten category (top 50 terms).
In the last few years I have had a strong interest in e-marketing and website optimization. My strongest desire is to be working in the sustainability industry which causes large reductions in greenhouse gases.
