t may not look like much, but some of your sweetest childhood memories originated in this nondescript Victorian near Ball Square: It was here, in 1917, that candymaker Archibald Query invented marshmallow fluff, the key ingredient of the fluffernutter. Query sold his recipe for the sugary goo for just $500 and died poor. But he is not forgotten: Somerville pays tribute to him every fall at the campy Fluff Fest, featuring costume and cooking contests, performances, and the heroic Fluff Boy. Marcus

You can get a classic triple-decker fluffernutter with bananas at Moogy’s in Brighton; or with bananas and raspberry sauce at the Biltmore.
