I may be biased, but it is my belief that Maryland has some of THE BEST food in the country. Because of our abundance of shoreline, seafood (particularly crab) plays a big influence in most of our traditional meals. While some states may find these food combinations odd, Marylanders are proud to devour them whole. Here are 12 strange foods people in Maryland love.
- Fries With Vinegar
Wayne Thume / Flickr Thrasher’s fries drenched in vinegar are a MUST when visiting Ocean City.
- Soft Shell Crab Sandwich
oliver.dodd / Flickr Soft shell crab is an acquired taste. Are YOU a fan?
- Scrapple With Breakfast
Jimmy Emerson, DVM / Flickr Bacon who? Scrapple lovers are very passionate about this meaty treat.
- Crab Mac & Cheese
stu_spivack / Flickr Yes, it’s a kooky combination but there’s no denying crab mac & cheese is oh so good.
- Crab Cake Benedict
Ryan / Flickr Because crab meat is good any time of day, especially with brunch.
- Maryland Crab Soup
Il Primo Uomo / Flickr Extra spicy with extra crab, please.
- Seafood Bloody Marys
https://www.facebook.com/CrabcakeFactoryUSA/ I may never have a plain Bloody Mary again. You can find this particular concoction at Crab Cake Factory USA.
- Crab Chips
justgrimes / Flickr Other states may find crabby seasoned chips gross. For Marylanders, they’re a favorite snack, especially in the summer months.
- Old Bay Beer
Gavin St. Ours / Flickr Again, we cannot get enough of Old Bay. Even in liquid form.
- Deviled Eggs With Old Bay
jeffreyw / Flickr Old bay is also good on scrambled eggs, sunny side up, omelets…
- Crab Dip
wEnDy / Flickr Sure, you can find crab dip in bordering states, but it won’t be nearly as good without that Maryland touch.
- Coddie
Billy D. / Flickr A coddie is a Baltimore tradition. It’s fried balls of codfish between two saltines with a splash of mustard.
