Wide Variety of Palate Pleasers to Be Featured at the Taste of Enfield

If you're in the mood for a pierogi, a pulled pork sandwich or an ice cold tasty treat, the Enfield Town Green is the place to find a wide variety of culinary delights this weekend during the Taste of Enfield.

A longtime staple of the Enfield Fourth of July Town Celebration, the Taste of Enfield will feature more than a dozen vendors, offering everything from fried dough to steamed dumplings to Italian ice.

"This goes back to our roots - the Fourth has always been home for the Taste of Enfield," Celebration chairman Scott Kaupin said. "We will have a lot of the same offerings that have been popular in the past, plus some new additions."

Among the first-time participants this year are Li Brothers, which will offer General Tang's chicken and steamed dumplings, and Hacienda del Sol, which will be selling ropa vieja salad, taco salad with beef and a flan dessert.

Among the returning favorites is the Old Country Deli, formerly known as the Polish Deli, which will provide pierogis, kielbasa and kraut, and golabki. "The Old Country Deli always has long lines for their Polish food," Kaupin said.

Dinner items will also be available from Carol's Concessions (sausage and pepper grinders), This Ultimate BBQ (pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches), Pizza Pie (cheese and pepperoni pizza, buffalo wings), Jonathan's (hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken tenders, grinders) and Angelo's (fried dough, fried ravioli, fried mozzarella, waffle fries).

Those wishing to cool off should stop by the booths manned by Fermi Hockey, Rita's, Ben & Jerry's, Green Mountain Coffee and the Fourth of July Celebration Committee.

The Taste of Enfield opens Friday from 5 p.m.-midnight, continues Saturday from 11 a.m.-midnight, and concludes Sunday from 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
