Baltimoreans are unique, especially when it comes to our food. Seafood is an important part of our culture and you’ll find it on nearly everything, and there are other unique food combinations that anyone outside of Charm City just won’t understand. Check out the following list and see how many of these kooky combos you’ve eaten.

  1. Sauerkraut with Thanksgiving dinner

  1. Old Bay on everything

  1. Seafood Bloody Mary

  1. Marshmallow on Sno-balls

  1. Crab on everything

Facebook / Jimmy’s Famous Seafood We like crab on fries, in our omelets, on top of pasta, etc. We just can’t get enough.

  1. Coddie

  1. Crab Chips

  1. Crab Mac and Cheese Dog
