Made in America: Crab Cakes!
May 9th, 2008
As someone who lived a great part of her life near the Chesapeake Bay and her blue crabs, crab cakes and most things crab are dreams in Italy, where I can find only surimi or tins from Belgium. Have you evet heard anyone go faint with praise of Belgian crab? Me neither.
Go to Mary’s blog and let’s find out how she managed this elusive culinary specialty in this country where they serve you whole crabs the size of a shilling and then grin with pride!

My son lived in Baltimore for a few years and he had a food section from the Sun with an article about where the seafood in Baltimore came from. I was really surprised when I read about the high percentage of crab that came from China. I read the article after I had been there a couple of days.

A lot of the crabs came from Louisiana, I know. But I don’t thiunk that things sold alive were coming from China— maybe….

A high percentage of crab was short for a high percentage of crab meat. I didn’t mean to imply that the liver crabs were from China. Then again as you said - maybe!

Brava, brava, Judith: abbiamo tanta ottima cucina negli Stati Uniti! Eppur ve ne sono molti, anche de\’ nostri, che se ne vergognano.

@Bill Thayer:
Thanks! It took me two years to get angry enough, but you know we Mainiacs don’t cool down until we have subdued the masses.
