Poor, poor Delmarva
Today I had a chat with someone at work who told me the Culinary Institute of America lists the following ingredients in their "real" Maryland crab cakes (he asked me about it because, even having been born and raised in effin Texas, he thought it didn't sound right lol):
Beaten eggs (plural)
Parsley
Sour cream
Melted butter
Cayenne pepper
Worcestershire sauce
Bread crumbs
Corn meal
And (of course)
Crab meat
WTF? Did they even consult someone in Maryland before making that? They have 3 ingredients right, but what the fuck are those other things? And where in god's name are the missing ingredients? There isn't even Old Bay... Cayenne pepper but no Old Bay? Really? lol
I've been saying for years that the Eastern Shore of Maryland should secede from the rest of the state (we have West Virginia, why not East Maryland?) but, according to the Culinary Institute of America, we're not even a state the country talks to anymore. Well done, Marylanders, well done. Stick to your guns. Or your Old Bay and frying pans, at the least.
