egg flower soup;
Maine lobster;
Liebfraumilch '51;

cigar.
Poul Anderson mainly recounts the conversation between Flandry and Kit. There are no more details about what they consume.
Sheila and I were in Boothbay Harbor in the summer of 1973 but did not eat lobster because we were both vegetarian then.

Kaor, Paul!
I'm interested at finding out you had once visited the US, and a part of Maine not terribly far from where I then (and still do) lived. I hope your visit to the US was pleasant.

Sean,
It had its ups and downs.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
And that is only to be expected. You might also have felt some "culture shock."
Sean
Sean,
Big culture shock. Big emphasis on "money."

Kaor, Paul!
No surprise! Even now, the US is much more commercial minded than is much of Europe. and the UK in turn is probably still more like that than much of the mainland.

One of the fundamental things about the US is that it was colonized by the most modern country in Europe, and by the most modern elements in it, essentially the middle classes.
Dear Mr. Stirling,
I agree! And if the abortive Norse settlements in Maine or Nova Scotia had survived, we might have seen some real feudalism taking root here. Because Western feudalism was itself the most modern socio/political organization at the time.

I visited Boothbay Harbor in 2007.
I was visiting my sister there.
I have some picture of the area I took on that trip
I drove from Calgary, visited other relatives in Ontario, drove north to tour parts of New Brunswick & Nova Scotia, then stopped at my Ontario relatives again on the way west.
