Maryland Chicken

I saw a place in South Carolina and Georgia called Maryland Fried Chicken, but since when are we renowned for our chicken? It's always been crabs from the Chesapeake and Old Bay.

I think they are called scotch eggs on account of the fact people in the old days used to offset the heart attack by having a nip of scotch to thin their blood in prepartion for it.

I just made that up, but you never know it could be true!

Well, if I ever try one, I'll be sure to thin my blood properly!

Well I'll be damned as a blue crab stuck in a trap, I didn't know that I just thought people assumed we were KNOWN for our fried chicken (similar to NYC and their pizza/bagels), I didn't know there was an actual recipe. I love chicken, I'll have to try it out!

I've had fried plantains before (a tougher and more fibrous banana cousin, so it's not cannibalism!) in canola oil, and then dipped in sugar. They were GREAT, but I highly doubt they hold a lot of nutritional value...

I'm sure they had some value before the oil and sugar. Sounds good though! ^_^
