I mix ketchup and mayo and put it on french fries.
Or just Old Bay will suffice as well...

When I was in high school I used to mix ketchup and mayo and dip my chips in it.

Dukes Sammich Spread on fish. It's ready-made tartar sauce, for the most part. All you have to do is add what you think's missing.

Love Rapa Scrapple. I've seen it with bacon in it, and they make a Hot & Spicy. I wonder how it would be if you combined two Maryland favorites and made Rapa Scrapple with Old Bay in it?

A friend of our's is a true, born, and raised Smith Islander. He use to own Capt. Smith's Seafood here in Solomons Island. He makes frequent trips to Smith Island to pick up Seafood, and Smith Island Cakes for people, to I guess supplement his retirement. He gave me permission to post his name, and number on here for anyone that is interested in getting some of this stuff. Edwin Smith 443-532-6540. I know someone had mentioned getting a Cake for their Father's Birthday in January.
Cured my own for years..until maybe 10 years ago. Now I buy a couple every winter when the better ones briefly show up for sale locally just before Christmas.
Making sausage, scrapple, mush (cornmeal and oatmeal), curing bacon, boiling down lard, salt-curing and smoking the hams, et etc was something we did every year in the winter when the hogs were ready.

Would THIS face lie?
I am sure you know what Cracklins are if you boiled down lard. That was like candy when hog killin time rolled around. Or should I say like chips.
Indeed. Back when I was a kid, waiting for the cracklings to cool down after all the lard was poured off so we could have some was a highlight of our year...and reward for all the hard work that processing 3 or 4 hogs from killing through all the processing entailed over the course of about a week.
But if you ate too many......better not get too far away from the outhouse.
Sure do miss me some pan fried oatmeal mush.

That big old black pot that you had to stir and stir with the wooden paddle that looked like an oar. Had to keep the wood on the fire to keep it hot. Wasn't much of those old hogs that wasn't used for something.

Silver dollars.
And my dad had two of those huge black cauldrons. Since he's passed, my two sisters now have them. Sure wish I'd a grabbed them before they did.

My husband calls stuffed ham "that redneck ham you all eat."
I'm trying to think if there is anything else that my husband thinks is strange we do food wise. We definitely seem to eat more oysters and crabs (and items made of these) than other states.
There are 2 companies that have crab chips UTZ and Herrs.

I love the UTZ ones. I'm not sure if I've had the Herrs ones. I may have to go find some.

Pit Beef? Kossuth cake? Lady Baltimore cake, Berger Cookies, Soft Crabs, Tipsy Parson, lemon straws?
migtig
aka Mrs. Giant
Pit beef is available elsewhere
Kossuth cake - is a freaking chocolate cupcake - I'm sure it's not available anywhere in the world
Lady Baltimore cake - is a cake recipe that originated in 1906 and has NOTHING to do with the Maryland Lady Baltimore. It's served all over the place
Berger cookies - meh I don't even know what those are, so maybe you have one
Soft crabs - are available elsewhere
Tipsy parson - is an ENGLISH dessert once again and did not originate in MD
Lemon Straws - are available elsewhere - I've never even seen it in MD, but I have in Mississippi
Seriously, I understand the desire to feel special here, but food is made all over the world, and your family recipe probably originated in the same place that someone in another state's family recipe did. :shrug:

If it is(I have my doubts) it is still traditional and regional in origin
It is not a chocolate cupcake, and it is again a specific Maryland treat, even if it is served elsewhere(which I find hard to believe since it isn't even served HERE, you have to make it yourself).Kossuth cake - is a freaking chocolate cupcake - I'm sure it's not available anywhere in the world
It doesn't have to do with a person to be associated with the area.
They are cookies that used to be found only in and around Baltimore. now you can get them all over. You seem to be missing the point, these are traditional but not exclusive to this area.
Does that make it less of a Maryland traditional food?
An English dessert that was traditional here.
Can't be traditional here and elsewhere?
What are you talking about? My family recipe? Feel special? Local areas have traditions. It's important to keep them alive. YOu might be fine with everyone being one apid family, but it's not cool with me- despite the fact that there is food all over the world(not sure what that has to do with anything). If this topic doesn't interest you, don't particpate
