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.
1. Fries With Vinegar
Thrasher's fries drenched in vinegar are a MUST when visiting Ocean City.
2. Soft Shell Crab Sandwich
Soft shell crab is an acquired taste. Are YOU a fan?
3. Scrapple With Breakfast
Bacon who? Scrapple lovers are very passionate about this meaty treat.
4. Crab Mac & Cheese
Yes, it's a kooky combination but there's no denying crab mac & cheese is oh so good.
5. Crab Cake Benedict
Because crab meat is good any time of day, especially with brunch.
6. Maryland Crab Soup
Extra spicy with extra crab, please.
7. Seafood Bloody Marys
I may never have a plain Bloody Mary again. You can find this particular concoction at
Crab Cake Factory USA .
8. Crab Chips
Other states may find crabby seasoned chips gross. For Marylanders, they're a favorite snack, especially in the summer months.
9. Old Bay Beer
Again, we cannot get enough of Old Bay. Even in liquid form.
10. Deviled Eggs With Old Bay
Old bay is also good on scrambled eggs, sunny side up, omelets...
11. Crab Dip
Sure, you can find crab dip in bordering states, but it won't be nearly as good without that Maryland touch.
12. Coddie
A coddie is a Baltimore tradition. It's fried balls of codfish between two saltines with a splash of mustard.
