Many greens can be grown during the winter; therefore, they provided early Marylanders with much needed fresh produce during those long months. Southern Maryland’s famous hams are stuffed with greens – no surprise given that this dish is often served at Easter when there little else can be found in gardens.

How do you empty your cabinets of ingredients forbidden during lent? Do you enjoy pancakes, King cake or fasnachts/kinklings?

Did you know that in the Medieval days in Europe, meats, dairy, and sugar (if you were lucky enough to get it) were all forbidden on fast days? Also, the Christmas feasting season often extended to Mardi Gras. This explains why so many Twelfth Night traditions are similar to Mardi Gras—the cake, the crowning of a king, queen or lord of misrule, and the reversal of social roles between the upper and lower classes.

Manuscript recipe books from the 19th century usually contain lots of recipes for sausage, proving it was a staple item on the menu in many Maryland households.

This Week’s Theme is Cornmeal – A Maryland Staple Dating Back Thousands of Years

Cornmeal has a long history in Maryland as the staple cereal grain used by indigenous First Peoples, European settlers, and those brought to Maryland to work as enslaved laborers. An 18th century firsthand account of its importance to the diet is attributed to a document written in the 1740s by Edward Kimber (1719-1769) who chronicled his experiences traveling in Maryland. On one of his trips to Worcester County on the Eastern Shore, Kimber observed that cornmeal was malted to make into a liquor and that cornmeal mush and hominy were among items of the “principal diet.”

The World is Your Oyster on the Shores of the Chesapeake Bay

EVER HEARD OF OYSTER MERROIR? Merroir is defined as the “taste of the sea” meaning that oysters, much like fine wine, chocolate, tea,, coffee, and capsicum peppers, are subject to variations in taste and texture (in the case of oysters) based on their growing environment. As a result, some oysters are better for eating on the half-shell and others are better for cooking purposes.

Did you know that in the 17th century British settlers to Maryland were encouraged to plant apple seeds? No surprise then that one of the most popular drinks in the earliest British settlement at St. Mary’s City was apple cider! Boiled cider was also listed at that time, which was probably a reduction of cider made into a concentrated apple molasses used to flavor drinks and foods such as apple pie.

Besides cider, the versatile apple can be made into butter, sauce, brandy, pies, cakes, toddy, pudding, and so many more recipes!
