The Maine Needham Company, based in Saco, has announced a new item – bite-sized needham minis. The minis are expected to be available for purchase later this month and will be available in share-size bags.
For those of you not in the know, needhams are a potato and coconut-based candy covered with chocolate. The uniquely Maine candy is said to have been introduced in the 1870s by John Seavey of Seavey Sweets.
Soul food pop-up
Soul Food Paradise is having a pop-up from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 13, at Twin City Diner at 48 Alfred St., Biddeford. They’ll be serving up macaroni and cheese, fried chicken and other classic soul food favorites at the downtown Biddeford diner.
