[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I grew up in southern MD, college in Baltimore, lived in central MD, and have been in NoVa since 2000.

I have had muskrat (I had no idea until toda6 that others ate this - just thought my dad was awful making us eat it!) we ate Scrapple growing up (thin and crispy please!) loved oyster dressing, but loved raw oysters far more. My siblings and I would eat them as fast as my dad could shuck them.  I would put an oyster on a saltine cracker with a little cocktail sauce on top. OMG I miss those days!

Crabs - don’t waste time making crab dip, etc. Emptied the produce drawer in the fridge to store leftovers and ate them cold the next day. Vinegar and old bay on fries - incredible! Orange crushes. I didn’t know about smith Island cake until a few years ago, but I grew up on the opposite side of the bay and we never really ever crossed the Bay. Dad’s family traced back to southern MD since the 1600s.

Here’s something not mentioned yet - stuffed ham. It is a southern MD specialty. Corned ham stuffed with kale. I never liked it but my siblings do. My mom who grew up in the Midwest had rto learn how to make it for my dad.

Of course, can’t forget rockfish and soft shell crabs and Natty Boh.

After school when I wanted a snack, I would pour cheerios in a bowl, drizzle melted butter over them and sprinkle Old Bay on top. So delicious!
