Gotta admit I haven't cooked 'em yet, but I've heard so much about them, that I had to buy some Maine potatoes. I have several students from Aroostook County (a.k.a. The County or "countay" as they say around here) which is famous for its potatoes. The schools in Aroostook County give the students two weeks off in the fall for potato harvest. I'll let you know how they taste. I've been warned not to have too high of expectations. We'll see.
Mainiacs is a revered term, only given to those who are 5th generation (or more) born in Maine. If you were born in Maine but you are 1st - 4th generation, you're a Mainer. Everyone else is just "a person from away". I came to Maine for "just one semester," but now I'm "tenure track" which means I'm here to stay for a while. As I was in those first few months, I am very excited about this adventure and the chance to meet the great people of Maine.
