Everyone has a list of foods that they associate with summer. Depending on a person's background, their list can be different from another person's; it also depends on personal preference. For some people, it isn't summer until they get that one taste of a certain food, and after that, it's a smile and the word "summer" is whispered from their lips. Everyone has a special place within themselves for summer. It is a time when the food gets better and the nights get warmer. Summer is one of those times when everyone expects the fun and food to get better than it is any other time of the year. Here is a list of 7 foods that scream summer:
1. Corn on the cob
Corn on the cob can really only be enjoyed during the summer months, especially because it's only available during the summer. Jersey corn is the best corn!
2. Watermelon
SUMMER’S BEST FRUIT!!! I love it so much, but sadly I’m allergic to it, but once in awhile I’ll have a tiny piece. If that doesn’t show that it’s the best fruit, I am not sure what does.
3. Freshly Squeezed Lemonade
Freshly squeezed lemonade will always taste better than powder mixes; there's no chemically artificial taste, and the lemon juice will provide just enough tartness. The best lemonade is from the Jersey Shore boardwalks, preferably Point Pleasant!
4. S’mores
S'mores are perfect for a beautiful summer night! Have a pool party and a bonfire and roast marshmallows after! Stores sell huge marshmallows, I recommend buying those because they are so fluffy and yummy.
5. Ice Cream
Ice cream is great during the fall or spring, but it is even better on a hot summer day. Even though I am lactose intolerant, my favorite is the orange and vanilla swirl in a wafer cone from Kohrs!
6. Funnel Cake
Who doesn’t love funnel cake? You can never go wrong with fried dough and powdered sugar. Whether you're walking on the boardwalk or at a carnival, funnel cake is the way to go!
