  Eh Maryland, and Baltimore in particular has everything from grits to chowders. If you’re thinking about a crawfish boil/stew/gumbo, they have those too, and the superior crab version.

    I agree the crab is better, but not the Cajun food. I’ve lived in Alabama and NoVA and there’s a large difference. I’ve also lived in southern VA and SC, and they’re all different. Each have benefits, but real Cajun is special.

      Ah well we’ll have to disagree then. I grew up in Maryland and for my money the food is the best in the world.

        I don’t believe that any food is the best in the world. Everywhere does something better than somewhere else. That’s what makes the world great.

      I mean… Dave Anderson’s Old Southern BBQ is called southern… Won some awards.

      To be fair, I have only had BBQ in Texas and Memphis, so grain of salt.

      Else you have black market st. Paul - wouldn’t call it “southern” when it’s -10 degrees and they are smoking up some pork, but damn good smoked BBQ.

      Well, but you have an international airport close by, a major mall, rents in the mail, and you can always find a parking space. Women out number the men two to one and there’s parks and zoos and… Shhh.

  Do you know how easy it is making boiled peanuts?

  Its literally just peanuts boiled in salty water forever

  Super easy in a slowcooker or even a regular pot

  You can have them whenever and wherever you want

    Note: the above is talking about raw peanuts, which are very hard to find up north. Doing this to a bag of roasted peanuts will make you very sad.

  Cant get boiled peanuts up north

  Canned or fresh? Because I can buy them canned. I wouldn’t but the option is there!

  • Cethin@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ve done canned. They fill a hole that I miss, but fresh is special.
