Two blog posts in one day!
I am on a roll today! I had to
join in on Andrea and Cole’s Three On Thursday!
This week they ask:
What 3 foods do you eat that are
weird? What foods do you eat that other people would think are strange?
According
to my husband I eat a lot of weird foods, but if you ask me, he’s the weirdo
for not eating them!
1. If you grew up in Maryland (and
most parts of Delaware) it’s probably a given that you love Chesapeake Bay
crabs! There’s nothing like having your
closest friends over and eating a bushel of delicious steamed crabs! It’s even better when you caught those crabs!
It’s been years since I’ve been crabbing with my dad or one of my uncles, but I
love getting the crabs, putting them in the crab pot and watching them steam
with the smell of Old Bay!
For those of you who don’t know what the inside of a
blue crab looks like, here’s the best picture I could find:
That yellow stuff? We call it mustard…it’s actually the
crab’s ummm poop. We don’t eat it, but
if I happen to get some on a piece of crab while picking it I don’t clean it
off. Grossed out yet?
We had Crabs this past weekend and they were
delicious!! Usually we try to get crabs at least every other week.
2. Another love of mine is also a
summertime food. I love tomato
sandwiches. All it is a few sliced of
tomato with some salt inbetween two slices of bread with some mayo. It is my absolute favorite thing to eat in
the summer!!!
This absolutely grosses my husband out! He hates tomatos and mayonnaise.
3. And finally, I think this will
gross most of you out! It’s called scrapple? Ever heard of it? Scrapple is
defined by Wikipedia as is
traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat
flour, and spices. And let me tell ya, It
is yummy! This is another one of those
foods that I think you had to be raised on to love. I believe you can only get scrapple in
Maryland, Delaware and certain parts of Pennsylvania. We use it as a breakfast food and serve it
with eggs, pancakes or french toast. We
also make Scrapple and Egg sandwiches. Daniel and I both love scrapple and Cecilia
is a lover of scrapple! It’s her
favorite breakfast meat, she prefers it over bacon and sausage any day.
The show Dirty Jobs on Discovery Channel actually visited our favorite
Scrapple brand, Hughes Maid Scrapple’s headquarters (which is 15 minutes from
my house) to see how scrapple was made.
So are you
grossed out yet? Sorry! There are a few foods that everyone seems to
like, but I can’t exactly acquire the taste for… namely coffee, guacamole and
onions.
