I just had my first fajita in 20 years. I'm in love. Why did I ever stop

[applegrove]

eating that? Name some food you forgot to enjoy? I'm looking for retro food ideas to feed my retro dad.

1. I could not live in a world like that.

Tacos?

[applegrove]

2. I have those all the time. I like the artisinal ones the most.

[Eko]

3. Not so bad then.

[HopeAgain]

4. Price of skirt steak has really gone up

Can't hardly afford to make fajitas anymore...

[applegrove]

5. I ordered in. Came to $22+ for one person. Generous serving.

6. I will NEVER forget my own MD Crab Cakes...

...I can't wait until the MD Crab source this year is good enough for my award-winning recipe. Not enough workers to pick them now because of Trump. Also, the Crabs are late because of climate change. If, you want to feel what's it's like for me, imagine drinking Crab Juice!

Edit: Proper Clip!

7. I must admit I've only ever had crab dip from a can. Or crab cakes from

a can of crab. Never had fresh. That is something I should look into but being in central canada I am way away from anything fresh. Especially from Maryland. Though I did read the book Chesepeak by James A. Mitchener and he went into crabbing in that. I'll put that on my bucket list.

[JoeOtterbein]

8. Humm...do you think there might be a market for real Crab Cakes in

central Canada? I would think the shipping cost might not be too much. BTW, I have sources from 40+yrs in the MD food biz!

[applegrove]

9. I don't know. I did know someone who made egg rolls (they were to die

for) for the local grocery stores. We made about a 800 a day. That was for the city in Halifax. His dream was to make it to Costco. I suppose that is everyone's dream. There is a fresh food store like Whole Foods that sells prepared fresh food and no nitro cured meats. It is called Farm Boy but I don't know that it has frozen food. It has nothing you would buy in the center isles of the average grocery store. Nothing boxed. It is a pretty new and expanding across Ontario as it has hit a niche (fresh organic and non organic veggies, meat, fruit, bakery, prepared meals and prepared salads, house made juices and house made dressings). It has a meat section and dairy. I wish I could picture if there is frozen food. Anyway it is doing better than wholefoods. It is a much nicer shopping experience. It is expanding fast. Expensive but worth it. That is worth a call.

[JoeOtterbein]

11. Trying to make it for Costco is a waste of time & money. Amazon's success should be a

guide for all of us food peeps. It's much cheaper to send it yourself. Now, I'll have to let that idea marinate my Crab Cakes recipe a bit!

[applegrove]

14. Do you share your crab cakes recipe? I'll go to the fish monger and get fresh.

I swear.

[applegrove]

15. I was in FarmBoy today. They do have a frozen section with frozen crab and lobster and shrimp.

Prepared chicken nuggets and pizza. Crab cakes would fit in there perfectly. And it is really pricey but everyone knows that and is there for the quality.

[JoeOtterbein]

16. FarmBoy? I never heard of them. I'll have to check them out!

Thanks for the tip. My little tip for great crab cakes: use crackers. Preferably Ritz!

[applegrove]

17. ooh that sounds good. I love ritz. Unfortunately I'm going on a low carb diet soon.

[JoeOtterbein]

18. In that case, good crab meat tastes great right out of the container!

I really need to take my mind off of food!

[applegrove]

19. I was eyeing the frozen crab today. Will get some and make crab salad some day soon.

10. Survey Shows Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab Population Healthy.

[JoeOtterbein]

12. Yes, and that is why I need real MD Crab NOW. Not later in the season!

Sorry for yelling. I'm a bitter ole crab myself sometimes!

[elleng]

13. OK w me!

Looking forward to my firsts this year; having a party, where I'll serve some.
