[quote=Anonymous]I am from delmarva - born and raised south of Salisbury, graduated high school in the mid 80s.

There was a radio station that used to always say (on beautiful days): It's a delmarvelous day on the pennisula!  Which I have always loved and still ay sometimes.

I've lived in DC since 1993.  The two areas are very different - food and drink traditions are really opposite.

I was raised on chicken and slippery dumplings and scrapple and yes have eaten muskrat.  Getting a bushel of crabs for any occasion in the summer and eating them on the porch with newspaper covering the table, soft shell crabs in the spring.  Christmas parades were huge, Pony penning and the Chincoteague carnival, going to ocean city for Thrasher's fries during the summer.  However, crushes are a relatively recent addition.

DC is more half smokes and Ben's chili bowl and Horace and dickey's and brunching and free museums and for my kids the public elementary school identities and the various school sports in high school and the Catholic school leagues.
