Cannabis Edible Pairings With Boston’s Favorite Foods

Cannabis, Edibles

Boston is home to some of the most iconic food in the country. Many of these dishes have “Boston” right in the name! Boston Baked Beans, Boston crème pie, and Boston brown bread. The city is far from lacking in savory or sweet options. But if you want to embrace Boston’s culinary identity fully, try getting a little creative, which might mean pairing your weed edibles with the local foods that suit them best.

Not sure where to start? Depending on a strain’s terpenes, it may feature flavors and aromas ranging from citrus to sugar or even pine. By carefully pairing these flavors with some of Boston’s most infamous eats, you can transform your experience into one you won’t soon forget. Whether you make your eddies at home or purchase them pre-made, think about how the strains they’re made from (and the types of foods they are) will match your Boston eats.

Here are some of our favorites:

The Food: Clam Chowder

What would Boston be without its iconic seafood scene? While top-level lobster, porgy, haddock, and scallops abound here, the region may be most known for its clam chowder. This rich but mild soup evokes the ocean without an overwhelming briny flavor. It’s filling and warm, which makes it great for comforting, relaxing strains as its pair.

The pairing: Citrus

Like most seafood, clam chowder goes well with citrusy flavors, especially lemon. That’s great news, because limonene (one of the most common terpenes) offers this exact flavor! Lemon Kush is a good option, as its hybrid effect boasts a mixture of giddy happiness and noticeable stress relief. It can help you ease into a relaxing afternoon paired with the home-cooked feel of clam chowder. Try infused butter on a roll to pair with your soup.

The Food: Roast Beef Sandwiches

Boston’s roast beef sandwiches are famous, and some of the local names, such as Atha’s and Liberty Bell, immediately evoke the delectable scent of a juicy snack. While a sandwich might normally be an on-the-go food, Boston’s take usually requires a sit-down experience (and plenty of napkins). Because beef tends to have a deep, almost earthy flavor, consider pairing it with a similar strain.

The pairing: Musk

Any cannabis strain with a musky or earthy bite is perfect for a roast beef sandwich. OG Kush is a standout choice for its woody aroma and tendency to make you hungry and content. Start with a quick edible mint to light up the tastebuds right before a tantalizing sandwich; you’ll drift off into a relaxed food coma.

The Food: Boston Crème Pie

This renowned dessert has the city’s name right in it! The Boston crème pie is a creamy dessert that constantly impresses with its airy fluff that is not overwhelmed by intense sweetness. Instead, the mildly sweet dessert feels refreshing and mixes well with the brief hints of chocolate in each bite. Pair with a flavor that mimics your favorite candy bar!

The pairing: Nuts, vanilla, or fruit

Desserts come in many varieties, so the right edible pairing for a Boston crème pie should suit your own tastes. Nutty strains such as Zookies, vanilla-forward options like Ice Cream Cake, or fruity entries such as Cherry Pie can all go well with Boston’s most famous sweet treat. Enjoy a delectable bite of infused chocolate before digging in for the best experience.

The Food: Baked Beans

Boston’s baked beans are not what tourists might initially imagine. While the region certainly has its own take on the warm, homestyle baked beans that accompany a hearty dinner, “Boston Baked Beans” famously refers to a regional candy bearing that name. These candy-coated peanuts offer a zing of rich, nutty flavor alongside the sweet flavor of the shell. Pair with something more robust to complement the strong flavors of the bean rather than outmatch them.

The pairing: Spice

Flowery, spicy flavors can do Boston Baked Beans a lot of favors. Try something like Skywalker OG or Lavender to mingle with the interesting peanut-and-sugar pairing and bring it up a notch. The tingly effects of these strains can leave you in a fun mood, which is perfect for snacking on candy. Try infused peanut butter or, better yet, any candy-type edible as part of your baked bean snack smorgasbord.
