The bed and breakfast we usually stay at in Rehoboth has the same breakfast, or similar variations on it, prepared every morning on the front porch: there is either coffee cake, sometimes the color of coffee and other times the color of raspberries, or else a kind of filled french toast; also there’s quiche cut into squares, and miniature donuts or cinnamon rolls.
One thing many people don’t know about Delaware is the state has its own signature cocktails. They might be specific to the beach towns or to southern Delaware, which is culturally different from Wilmington and the Philly suburbs. In Delaware, there’s a lot packed into a small place. One of the drinks is orange like a screwdriver, but with fizzy soda added. It’s an orange crush (vodka, triple sec, orange juice, and sprite). Actually, my brief research tells me it originated at a bar in Ocean City, Maryland, so never mind. There’s another drink, grapefruit-colored, that’s a mixture of rum and either grapefruit juice or pink lemonade; with a pink citrus slice thrown in, of course.
Our favorite restaurant in town is a place called Fins, which is the best example we’ve found of a basic coastal seafood place where you order the fish of the day with a side of mac and cheese or applesauce. I tried a mahi-mahi with mango pineapple sauce and then a peanut butter pie.
