What does Old Bay go on? More importantly, what doesn't Old Bay go on?

What's the weirdest thing you've ever put Old Bay on? Be honest. This is a judgment-free zone. Mostly because if you live in Maryland, we all know you've at least considered putting it on something that would make the other 49 states uncomfortable.

Corn on the cob has to be one of my favorites! There is something magical about fresh Maryland sweet corn slathered in Land O'Lakes salted butter and a health dusting of It's practically a constitutional right around here.

One of my favorite summer meals is embarrassingly simple and absolutely perfect. I commit what some Marylanders may consider a cardinal sin and cut the corn off the cob. I know. I know. Please direct all complaints to my attorney.

I grill a couple of Roma Sausage & Meatballs Old Bay Sausages and slice them up, add two ears of fresh Maryland sweet corn, a thick slice of Maryland tomato cut into chunks, a couple generous pats of Land O'Lakes salted butter, a healthy dose of Old Bay, and some freshly cracked black pepper.

Then I toss it all together in one giant bowl and grab a serving spoon. Also known as my shovel.

Before anyone asks, yes, this is one serving. My serving. My shovel. You are welcome to make your own.

Who was the first person to find a blue crab and think let me steam this with old bay and eat it? As we sat around the table enjoying steamed crabs this weekend, I couldn't help but ponder this random thought....

Apparently, nobody knows who the first person was to look at a live blue crab and think, "You know what? I'm going to grab that angry water spider, boil it, cover it in seasoning, and eat it." Humans have been eating crabs for thousands of years. Along the Atlantic coast of North America, Indigenous peoples harvested and ate blue crabs long before Europeans arrived. Archaeologists have found crab remains in shell middens dating back centuries.

As for the specific Maryland tradition of steaming blue crabs with seasoning? That's much newer. The seasoning we now know as Old Bay was created in 1939 by Gustav Brunn, a German immigrant who settled in Baltimore. Before that, Chesapeake crabs were already being steamed and seasoned with salt and spices, but Old Bay became the iconic flavor that defined the experience.

So the real progression was probably something like:

Ancient human: "I'm starving. Maybe that crab is edible."
Friend: "It pinched you."
Ancient human: "Yes, but now I'm committed."
Centuries later in Maryland: "This crab is good, but what if we dumped an irresponsible amount of seasoning on it?"
The entire Chesapeake region: "Go on..."

Frankly, the more impressive question is who looked at a blue crab, decided to eat it, and then convinced everyone else that spending 45 minutes picking through a pile of shells for three ounces of meat was not only acceptable, but a beloved summer tradition.

Either way, I'm here for it. Let's explore other fantastic ways to use Old Bay as we navigate the oppressive heat of summer. What is your favorite use of this classic seasoning?

Happy 4th of July!
