“Delaware's claim to fame is being close to Philly. Just like how scrapple is from PA but it's a Delaware thing - cooked crispy with egg and cheese on a bagel.”
“There’s nothing more iconic than Boardwalk Fries. They have been around forever, and of course, the best is Thrashers at the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach. Yummm!”
“We heard "everything is better deep fried" and we made this masterpiece.”
“I spent four years living in Delaware, and I remember the crab cakes more than anything else on this list. With a bay and an ocean next to it, why not crab cake?”
“Hughes Scrapple is as good as Delaware gets”
Delaware eats off the bay and out of the fire hall. Crab Cake, Fried Oysters, and Oyster Fritters come from Delaware Bay water; Snapper Soup and Muskrat Stew come from the marsh behind it. Sussex County sends Delmarva BBQ Chicken from the birthplace of the broiler industry. Scrapple and Slippery Dumplings are the Pennsylvania Dutch inheritance. Boardwalk Fries mean Rehoboth in July, and Peach Pie remembers when this was the peach state. What Delaware is famous for is smaller than the state that grows it. So what is Delaware's official state dish? The ballot is open until December 31.
