You meet on the broad City Hall steps, the harbor breeze daring you forward as pastel storefronts and bicycles frame the street. The first bite arrives like a short introduction: salt, oil, and the soft flake of cod; the next is a rum-sweet sip that eases conversation. Over two and a half hours you move through a five-block radius of central Hamilton, where sidewalks, alleyways and a few corner kitchens map a living food history.
