MENU -- Bills @ Baltimore Sunday Night September 29th -- BALTIMORE RAVENS -- What's on Your Plate?


HIT BY SPIKES

I am still working through the left overs from the MNF game but eventually the focus needs to be on Baltimore.

 

Can't really source Blue Crab up here at any reasonable cost.

 

Pit Beef is certainly doable => Pit beef is a beef roast that is cooked over hot charcoal and then sliced paper-thin. It’s stacked on a roll, typically with onion, horseradish, and barbecue sauce. The iconic pit beef is grilled in many ways, from using wood-flavored barbecues, spicy sauces, or dry rubs.   https://www.koonsclarksvillechevybuickgmc.com/blogs/4775/7-iconic-foods-from-baltimore

 

I haven't used the meat slicer for a while so it will be refreshing to slice the roast "paper-thin".

 

So my early thoughts are to make my Garlic Butter Stuffed with Crab Giant Mushrooms as an appetizer and Pit Beef Sandwiches.

 

Any ideas?

Hopefully not Crow ... I do have some Crab in the freezer but it's Snow not Blue, it's a start anyway.

 

What the crab in the tin is what I am using.

 

I imagine Blue Crab would be over $20.00/lb here unless I head downtown to the Asian Grocer but I would rather avoid that journey if possible.

 

I don't respect Baltimore enough to make that effort.

The Crab in a carton in the cold section of Costco is very good and fairly priced.

Berger Cookies?   "A beloved treat in Baltimore, these cookies consist of a soft shortbread base topped with a thick layer of chocolate frosting. They have been a staple since the 1830s and can be found at various bakeries throughout the city."

No Blue Crab here on the West Coast  - mostly Dungeness Crab.   I don't like seafood anyway.  

 

I never heard of Pit Beef sandwiches before but they sound good.

The cookies and dessert in that link look good but I don't have a sweet tooth so I tend to only make that for special occasions when we have guests over.

Blackbird Pie - modern recipe uses chicken, ham and other ingredients.

 

When I was growing up I thought it was football related - 4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pid with three being 11 starter players on offense, 11 starter players on defense, a place kicker and a punter.  (11+11+1+1 = 20+4)

The crabcakes and blue crabs are big in Maryland of course,  but Baltimore does have an awesome Little Italy.  Very popular and some great restaurants all within a couple blocks.  Baltimore is also known for Pit Beef sandwiches.

That is what I am going with.

 

Struck out this morning on acquiring a 5lb+ roast beef on sale since the sale ended yesterday.

 

Will procure one tomorrow morning and marinate it white wine and non-salt spices and herbs for 48+ hours to throw on the rotisserie on Sunday Afternoon.

 

 

What bread is used for these Pit Beef Sandwiches in Baltimore?
