    You put ketchup on hot dogs. You buy a Dodger Dog at the baseball game, you put ketchup on it. No chili, no onions, no mustard. KETCHUP!

    Salt on watermelon? None of my family did that and they grew up in Dallas. You eat melon with NOTHING on it.

    When my mom and dad eat fried or scrambled eggs, they put salsa on it. Lots of salsa.
    You can put salsa on pretty much everything.

    My daughter once had a crush on a guy and went on a lunch date with him. Found out he was a vegetarian. She ordered a steak sandwich and he left.

    And ketchup on a hot dog means the dog gets it. Matter of fact, a hot dog period means the dog gets it.

    How do you prefer to cook crab cakes? In the oven or sautéed in a pan? Or both? I've tried all 3 ways, and none really seemed ideal.

    My mother in law grew up in New England. Her mother cooked crab cakes in a skillet with butter and bread crumbs. I am not a fish eater so I couldn't tell you anything.

    I'd have to look something up. Crab cakes are a Twilight Zone food for me. I liked them as a kid. Don't care for them as an adult.

    Someone on here is from the Tidewater area. They should know. Crab is big in VA and MD.

    In a pan. Always in a pan. They don't brown and get crispy as well in an oven.

    I did the pan in oil, then the oven, and it fell apart. How long do you sauté them?

    Rye toast with peanut butter, horseradish, and hard boiled eggs.

    Dried cherries in my hot tea.

    I've had crab cakes done up all different ways... and I made a pig of myself every time.

    Greasy? Delicious. Falling apart? Delicious. Little overdone? Delicious. Underdone? Delicious. Breading fell off? Delicious, and give me those crab-flavored breading chunks.

    I have a couple of hopeless addictions... first and foremost is good coffee, and then there's Crab. Nom nom nom.

    Sharon and I spotted some King Crab at the store yesterday for $20 / pound, which is a decent price - last month it was up to $28 / pound which is way out of line. I believe we're going to have ourselves a crab feast in the next couple of days up at the cabin. With lots and lots of Land O' Lakes salted butter.

    I wasn't hungry before I started writing this, but now I've got a watering mouth and the strong desire to haul ass to the store. The Urge is upon me and it won't be denied.

    {Hmmm....

    Hot Dogs, mustard or chili..

    Brats, brown mustard...

    Pizza, deep dish with sausage and black olive...

    NEVER...EVER put ketchup on a steak!

    Has anyone ever tried coarse black pepper on cantaloupe? It is Southern Delaware-style and pretty good.

    A little salt on watermelon never hurt anyone!

    Vodka-Hungarian style (according to an old friend): On the rocks with cracked black pepper. Really pretty good.

    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    I never put ketchup on a steak, only catsup, the kind that uses actual cats.

    Toasted cheese with thin sliced onions and dill pickles in them, those are good.

    They got a tavern over by here that has a limbuger burger, it's good.

    Never tasted it, but that's the nastiest smelling stuff on earth. No matter how great it tastes I cannot imagine allowing it to be within 10 yards of my sniffer!!

    Nowadays it's only made in Monroe and Shullsburg, Wisconsin, so it's rare to find these days. I'm about an hour from there so they have it in these parts. Makes great catfish bait, too.
