Food
Blue crab
The most outstanding example of a typical taste of Baltimore is the city's close association with blue crabs. This is the nature that Baltimore shares with other coastal parts of the state of Maryland. Chesapeake Bay for many years is the main source of blue crabs on the East Coast. Baltimore became an important center of the crab industry. In the Baltimore tourist area (located between Harborplace and Fells Point), many restaurants serve steamed crab shells, soft shell crabs, and crab backfin crabs. Many district shops even sell crab-related items.
Traditionally, steamed crabs with rock salt and Old Bay Seasoning, a favorite blend of local spices produced in Baltimore for decades. Southern states cook, urging desertion, boiling crabs and with him, boiling down all the real flavors.
Crabs are eaten on a table spread with old newspapers or plain brown wrapping paper. Crab meat is extracted using a wooden hammer, knife, and hand. Very popular for cold beer to be tossed on crabs during steaming process, and available afterwards.
Crab cakes
Traditional Baltimore crab cakes generally consist of steamed steamed crab backfin, eggs, mayonnaise, seasonings of Old Bay seafood, cracker crumbs, and mustard. It is prepared by baking or frying. Baltimore people do not usually use tartar sauce on their crabs; their best meal is plain, or with a bit of Worcestershire sauce and often on Saltine crackers.
Soft crab sandwich
Soft shell crabs are blue crabs that have recently overhauled their old exoskeleton and are still soft. Almost all animals can be eaten, rather than having to weed animals to reach the meat, with the exception of the mouth, gills and stomach, which must be thrown away. The rest, the edible part of the crab is usually thrown with flour that some combination of salt, pepper and Old Bay Seasoning has been added, before fried or pan-fried with butter. It is then placed on toast, usually wearing mayonnaise, tomato slices and lettuce. Some Baltimoreers were amused when they saw visitors to the city in horror as they ate soft crab sandwiches with crab legs sticking out to the side.
Sauerkraut
It is a common practice to present a sauerkraut with a Thanksgiving turkey. Baltimore was the main gateway for German immigration during the 19th century. In 1863, the year of President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving as a national holiday, one in four Baltimore citizens transplanted to Germany and speaking tongues as their first language.
Pit Beef
"Pit Beef" refers to the most rare open-toast meat served on the Kaiser roll, usually found in small stands converted from large warehouses in and around Baltimore and outlying suburbs. It comes from the blue-collar east side of Baltimore and over the years spread throughout the city. Other varieties of meat, such as ham, turkey, corned beef and sausage are also found on the menu in tribal pit meat. The ground beef is roasted with charcoal and does not use a rub or sauce so it does not have the flavor characteristics of Texas Barbecue and Carolina barbecue herbs. Baltimore pit beef uses a round of top and is shaved very thin on a meat slicer to serve. Typical condiments for pit beef sandwiches are thick slices of garlic and a sauce made from radish and mayonnaise commonly called "Tiger Sauce" made by Tulkoff Food Products and unique because the Baltimore version uses a much more significant portion of the radish making the sauce very hot.
Pork and oyster
This is a fundraising event held in Baltimore and neighboring countries. Tickets are sold per person or discounted by a table (seating 8-10 people). They are scheduled for "R" months (September-April) when oysters are prevalent. The menu may consist of Pit Beef, ham, turkey or oysters, the latter served with a variety of fried, raw (on half skin) or boiled with butter milk or cream. Typically, smorgasbord from a side dish (like mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, green beans, cole slaw) is featured along with a fresh salad bar. Beer and wine can be purchased while standard drinks (soda, iced tea) are included in ticket purchases.
In addition to the advantages of ticket sales, various gambling gears are also displayed, such as the wheels of money (bets on # from 1-6 are shown in dice format on plastic runners), or crop wheels (ornamental plants and sometimes, baskets wrapped in various gift items). At some events, 50-50 tickets are sold, the winner is given half of the sales profit, and the auction is displayed with items donated by the organization, local sports heroes, business, etc. Example of Auction Goods at Bull & amp; Oyster Roast
Trout Lake
"Lake Trout" is actually a limestone fried Atlantic. This is usually served as a sandwich with a number of spices, such as tomato sauce and horseradish sauce. The trout lake is a daily food, and is often served wrapped in aluminum foil in a standard paper lunch bag at a small take-out company.
Chicken Box
The "chicken box" consisted of 4-6 chicken wings, served in a fast food box with some kind of fries (clamped "fries", curly fries, or regular fries). Toppings usually consist of salt, pepper, and tomato sauce, although spicy sauce is also popular. These items are mainly sold in independent fried chicken shops and Chinese food stores in the city. The chicken box is usually enjoyed with "Half and Half", a drink that combines ice tea and lemonade (called elsewhere in the United States as "Arnold Palmer").
Berger Cookies
Berger Cookies is a very popular cake in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. They are made from vanilla shortbread covered in fudge ganache. Originally brought from Germany to Baltimore by George and Henry Berger in 1835, they are now manufactured and sold by DeBaufre Bakeries.
Johnny's Polock Sausage
John Kafka, Sr. decided to specialize on sausage paint so he could use his nickname, "Polock Johnny". He created the now famous "The Works" sauce sold in all his stores. John prints Polish sausage with small pieces that are part of the Johnny Polock logo. Today, her grandson, Margie Kafka, continues her business in several locations, including Lexington Market.
Rheb's Homemade Candies
Newlyweds Louis and Esther Rheb, moved into their new home at 3352 Wilkens Avenue. In 1917, Louis, self-taught, began making taffies, brittles, fudge and jelly in his basement. The candy is sold in the market twice a week; Esther went to Hollins and Louis to Bel Air. In the mid-30s, they opened in Lexington Market. Louis continued to develop more recipes, and Esther learned to dip her hands into the soft, soft chocolate they had mixed to complement each candy. Many people come to Wilkens Avenue to buy candy, so they turn their garage into a shop. Grand opening took place in 1950. Currently, it is Rheb's main shop. On Valentine's Day, outside Rheb on Wilkens Avenue, there is usually a long line of customers.
Goetze's Candies
Caramel Cream is a soft chewy caramel with a cream center similar to icing cake. The company was founded in Baltimore and the factory remains there today. Caramel Cream is found in most corner stores and convenience markets in Baltimore.
Lemon peppermint Sticks
The lemon peppermint stick is a treat sold in the mid-spring Flower Mart held by the Women's Civic League. This simple 'drink' is made by cutting the top of a small lemon, cutting holes into the flesh, and pushing the peppermint stick into it. Sucking sticks and squeezing lemon juice produce sweet, mint, and lemon. While most are sold at Flower Mart, throughout the summer people in Baltimore will make these snacks at home or at social gatherings as well.
Natty Boh
The local favorite beer in the city is traditionally a National Bohemian, commonly called "Natty Boh" or "National" by the locals, or "Nasty Boh" by his critics. The beer and mascot, Mr. Boh, is a traditional part of Baltimore culture. The low historical prices and associations with the city make it a local favorite.
Natty Boh is a long-standing beer for Orioles and Colts fans at the Memorial Stadium. After the Colts moved to Indianapolis in 1984 and the Orioles left the Memorial Stadium in 1991, Natty Boh was no longer available to fans at the Baltimore sporting event. In 2000, brewing in Baltimore was not continued. However, since the 2006 Orioles season, "Boh is Back" and served at Oriole Park in Camden Yards. The national Bohemian beer is currently brewed from the country by the Miller Brewing Company and distributed to Baltimore by Pabst Brewing Company.
The National Brewing Company was also the "inventor" of Colt 45 liquor in 1963.
Maps Culture of Baltimore
Geography
Baltimore is divided into several very different neighborhoods and territories, each with its own reputation based on their crime rate and average income, among other stereotypes. Canton, Baltimore is famous for its young and professional population, along with several nightclubs and comedy clubs. The Inner Harbor is home to the Baltimore tourist center. Here, Baltimore's history and culture is exploited, featuring restaurants offering blue crabs and historical highlights like the USSÃ, Constellation . M & amp; T Bank Stadium and Oriole Park on Camden Yards are also in the vicinity of Inner Harbor, home to the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles.
Architecture
House Row
Baltimore is famous for its almost everywhere row houses. The row house has been a hallmark of Baltimore architecture since the 1790s, with early examples of styles still standing in the neighborhoods of Federal Hill, Locust Point and Fells Point. Older homes may retain some of their original features, such as marble pavements, which are widely regarded as Baltimore icons within them. Later the row houses dating from the 1800s to the 1900s can be found in Union Square and across the city in various states of improvement. They are a popular renovation property in an environment that is undergoing urban renewal, although this practice is viewed by some as a sign of "yuppification", especially when the term "town house" is used instead of the "row house." Around the city, tenements can be found abandoned and closed, reflecting the destruction of Baltimore city.
Formstone
A tour through many neighborhood row houses will reveal the style of façade not found in many other cities, Formstone. Introduced in the 1950s, Formstone is a modern solution for the early Baltimore brick so poor that it needs to be repainted so as not to get worse. But soon Formstone became a status icon for many homeowners.
The attraction of Formstone is that, once installed, it hardly requires maintenance. Salesmen boast that isolation lasts forever and that the first cost is also the last because there is no maintenance or repair required. Salesman also pointed out that Formstone is also about one-third the cost of other façade repair solutions. The colorful stucco dye gives a stone-like appearance that can be shaped into different textures. Formstone is very popular in East Baltimore, where residents believe that stone imitation makes their environment similar to the Eastern European city, which some thought has prosperity.
Patented in 1937 by L. Albert Knight, Formstone is similar to a product found eight years earlier in Columbus, Ohio, and is called Permanent Stone. Permanent Stone is also a veneer. In the 1970s preservationists and rehabbers felt that Formstone took away from the historical and architectural value of the house and much of it had been removed. This can be an expensive and time-consuming process. After removal, the brick requires a thorough acid-wash cleansing and then decomposition of the grout.
Marble steps
The marble steps are often used at the front entrance of rowhomes in Baltimore. The use of marble for these steps is due to the presence of high quality white marble in Cockeysville, a town 17 miles north of Baltimore's inner harbor by the highway. Indeed, the marble found there is very interesting, stones transported all the way from this northern Maryland city to the new state capital, instead of the local Potomac marble mine, for use in decorative construction around Washington, DC, including the Washington Monument, and 108 columns of the DPR building. During the construction stage of the Washington Monument, ie, in the mid-19th century, marble became popular as an ornamental stone and was widely used for housekeepers around Baltimore's Inner Harbor and at Fells Point. The marble scrubbing steps have become a tradition in Baltimore. Rituals include rubbing marble with Bon Ami powder and pumice stone.
Slang
Baltimore people have different ways of saying words in English. Usually, many syllables are dropped away (eg, Annapolis becomes Napliss). Accents vary; the accent is not visible when spoken by North & amp; West Baltimoreans but the hardest when spoken by East & amp; Southern Baltimoreans.
Hon
Although now the city is very diverse in culture, Baltimore's eternal image seems to be the "Hon" culture most exemplified by the long-standing family and residents of Highlandtown, Irvington, Canton, Locust Point, Hampden and Pigtown areas. Between the 1950s and 1970s, it was common to see working class women dressed locally in bright dresses and printed with outdated glasses and a beehive hairstyle. Men are often dressed casually, but with the appearance of a common factory or dock worker, as many people in the city do have such work.
The name of the culture comes from Baltimore's often parodic accent and slang. "Hon" ( , short for "Honey") is a common informal name for others. It is almost always used at the end of a sentence, for example, "how dem O's, Hon?" * The Baltimore Accent exemplifies the dialectal dialectal between the American English Tidewater, the southern American dialect, and the Delaware Valley American English, a common coastal dialect, freely having a vowel shift from the previous and common pronunciation of the second. For example, "Baltimore" is pronounced "Baldamore" or even "Balmer", and "Maryland" becomes "Murland", "Murlan", or "Merlin." Other common pronunciations include "ool", "amblance", "wooder", "warsh", "sharr or shaow", "far", "cowny", "tew", and "zinc" ( oil , ambulance , water , washing bathing , fire , county , two , and drown respectively). There are also popular summer phrases, "goin 'downy ayshin" ( down to the ocean, usually referring to Ocean City, Maryland) as well as popular phrases like, "my (appliance) gone" (meaning dead, from "up to heaven") and "dem O's" (ie "their O", referring to the Major League Baseball team, Baltimore Orioles).
The original author and filmmaker of Baltimore, John Waters has parodied the culture of Hon, as well as Baltimore himself, extensively in his films. For a somewhat accurate representation of Baltimorese, one can see Waters narration in his 1972 film Pink Flamingos. Waters himself uses local ads for Mr. Ray's Hair Weaves as his main inspiration. The ad was famous around the city for his thick East Baltimore accent. Ray: "Cawl todaey, for free hay show..." ("Today's phone, for your free home show") is the most impressive line of the ad.
This term has been set in the culture as it has been used for naming businesses including Cafe Hon, and for the annual HonFest.
"Hon" as a trademark
In November 2010, the term "Hon" was a trademark in Baltimore by local businesswoman Denise Whiting, for use on napkins, buttons, hats and other promotional materials for her restaurant, Cafe Hon. Trademarks, as stated by Whiting, do not prevent anyone saying "Hon", or use them in public conversations.
On November 7, 2011, Whiting held a press conference which also featured Chef Gordon Ramsay announcing that he would release the trademark "Hon"; Ramsay states that with Cafe Hon, "There is a level of hatred that is almost untouched, I've never known a restaurant to have such a big problem." Restaurants, and press conferences that are part of Ramsay's visit, are featured on February 24, 2012, series episodes of Ramsay, Kitchen Nightmares .
Whiting claims that the controversy over the trademark "Hon" has a big impact on his business and his own health, he estimates that since it was first revealed in December 2010 that "Hon" is a trademark for him, he estimates "20 to 25 percent drop off" in sales and he has to sell his IRA just to meet his salary.
Music
The most enduring legacy of music in Baltimore may be in the "old school" jazz scene where a number of native people make great moments after moving to New York City. Chick Webb, Eubie Blake, and Billie Holiday are all from Baltimore before continuing. The same zeitgeist also applies to the classical composer Philip Glass, also from Baltimore and moved to NYC.
Other people who will find fame in the music business of the area will include jazz-rock composers Frank Zappa, singer Ric Ocasek from The Cars, pop vocalist Mama Cass, and David Byrne's Talking Heads vocalist.
The Baltimore Club is a locally developed breakbeat style.
In the past decade, several local/local indie bands have risen to prominence at the national level, including Beach House, Future Islands, Wye Oak, and Deacon.
Views on television and movies
Baltimore has become the main city for film shoots and television shows. Many films were filmed in Baltimore, one of which is well known... And Justice for All (film) depicting an honest young lawyer comes to grips with a corrupt legal system. In addition, television shows like NBC's Killing: Life on the Street and HBO's The Wire and The Corner have also been set and filmed in the city.
Barry Levinson, a Baltimore filmmaker and original film, made many Baltimore-based films including: Restaurants , Avalon , Tin Men , and Liberty Heights . Baltimore people love Levinson movies because the actors use thick Baltimore Baltimore accents or a lighter West Baltimore accent.
Filmmakers and other Baltimore natives, John Waters, make subversive films that glorify the less socially acceptable cultural side of the city. Many scenes from the 1972 cult classic film Pink Flamingos were taken in the Waverly and Hampden neighborhoods of the city. Pink Flamingos is Waters' most popular cult film. In 1981, Waters released Primary Polyester with "Odorama" and went on to create Cecil B. Demented , Cry-baby , Pecker , and Serial Mom .
To date, Hairspray, Waters' award for The Buddy Deane Show - Baltimore, has become its most successful commercial venture. She released Hairspray as a film in 1988. In 2002, Hairspray was produced as a stage music. In 2007, a new version of Hairspray was released as a movie. Soundtracks for movies and musicals have also proven popular. Waters is currently in the process of making a sequel of Hairspray .
In addition to the works filmed in Baltimore, the city is also home to the Maryland Film Festival, an annual international film and video festival that takes place every May, using the historic Charles Theater as its permanent place.
In Season 4, Episode 7 of The Tracey Ullman Show, Baltimore actor Michael Tucker portrays the father to Ullman JoJo. The tape was housed in a house in Baltimore. Tucker advised Ullman to "take the Liverpool accent and make America." Ullman stuck an accent.
When Welcome Back, Kotter first aired in 1975, some Baltimore residents were surprised to hear the word "sweathog" which, at that time, meant "prostitutes" in many Baltimore neighborhoods. Currently, "sweathog" is used to describe women who are overweight and smelly.

Knowledge and traditions
It was customary before the Baltimore Ravens game to knock Johnny Unitas's statue shoes, Baltimore's star quarterback in the mid-twentieth century while the Colts were still playing in the city. This is seen as a lucky charm for the upcoming match.
When the national anthem is played in an Orioles or Ravens game, the word "oh" is emphasized in the line "oh let's say the star banner is waving the flag" by the crowd to show loyalty to the Orioles, using their nickname, O. Some national audiences regard this custom as not respecting the national anthem.
Nicknames are widely used in Baltimore to refer to a particular sport figure or moment. Some Orioles players in the modern era have earned the epitome of being fast becoming traditional, as Chris Davis received the nickname "Crush Davis" after his record season in 2013 and Nelson Cruz, whose last name is sung in long fashion whenever he makes great dramas at home. The 2012 postseason game between the Ravens and the Broncos has taken several epithets, such as "Mile High Miracle", "F-bomb", and "Rocky Mountain Rainbow", each referring primarily to passing Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones for a Baltimore touchdown that resulted in victory , eventually leading the Ravens to win the Super Bowl XLVII.
When the Orioles are thrown into situations where they succeed spectacularly, especially when addressing hostile situations, it is known by the Baltimore community as "Orioles Magic". The term was popularized by the local WFBR station when the broadcasters reacted to Doug DeCinces village at home over the Detroit Tigers in 1979 by shouting "probably out of here", followed by a cheering cheering eruption at the Memorial Stadium.
Eating a hot dog esskay and drinking a National Bohemian beer at a Baltimore sporting event, especially in Orioles games, has been a long-standing tradition. Bohemian national is often referred to as "Natty Boh" by the places and people of Baltimore.
The term "Birdland" is usually used to refer to the Baltimore area fanbase for both Ravens and Orioles. MASN, the Orioles broadcasting network, is generally accredited by popularizing this term thanks to their promos.
The song Seven Nation Army was popularized in Baltimore as the official Ravens adoptive song. The Seven Nation Army was first played in the 2011 Ravens opening game against the Steelers, and has been played in every home game ever since. This can often be heard in Orioles games as well, with fans often singing the first two bar signatures of the song as "Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh", referring to O's (Orioles)
