Cuisine of the Mid-Atlantic? ?

Question

I could really use an interesting recipe from this region of the U.S. I have to give an oral presentation on this type of cuisine and I could use some insights and recipes if you please. Anything else you would like to contribute would be fine too! Thanks!

Answer 1

Sadly it seems that our most famous ingredient is in-dangered. The maryland blue crab... You can make anything from it, from appetizers to main to dessert and you will never go wrong...

Answer 2

Crab Cakes (MD)

Low Country Seafood Boil (SC)

Smoked Ham (VA)

Answer 3

I have to agree with libra, the most definable mid-atlantic cuisine is the blue crab.  

You could do a sweet potato jack, basically a sweet potato pie turnover
