Well folks, it looks like the Boston scene is in the national news again – but this time the lame hipster reference has been replaced with food. In a rather cliché (albeit somewhat accurate) list featuring “16 Food Things only a Bostonian Would Understand,” the Huffington Post charts Boston’s most beloved fare and brands, like “lobstah” and “Dunkies.”

A well-intentioned article (and hey, we’ll take the press), but if we’re being honest, it’s pretty stereotypical. Before I moved to Boston, I probably could have told you most of these Boston “food things” without having ever lived here.

Below, we’ve round up the most cliche – and the most true – ”food things” that made the list. Check out the full article, here and let us know what you think should or shouldn’t have made the list.

Uhh… last time I checked, my girlfriends and I prefer wine. But that’s not to say I wouldn’t go to J.P. Licks by myself on a Friday night.

God, that looks good.

Cool story, bro. Tell me more.

Most definitely.

I just can’t.

Pretty accurate. But we still love it, regardless.
