Crab cakes are pretty much synonymous with Maryland and Baltimore. Maryland being the richest State in the U.S. has quite a bit going for it already.
Bureau of Economic Analysis estimated that Maryland grossed over 250$ billion in 2006, that was a little before the recession started getting bad. Still they have the lowest poverty rate in all the State, so the really are doing quite well for themselves over there in little old Merry land.
Besides the fact that everyone is rich, they all eat crab cakes daily. I don't know why this state isn't advertised more, they have the two best thing: one; money, two; crab cakes.
These people know how to eat their crab cakes; they don't just fry these milk, mayonnaise and bread crumb crab cakes and then eat them all willy-nilly. No, they get creative with their crabby confectionaries… maybe that is why they are all so rich.
Alright nutrition wise I give this pseudo-cakes a B minus. They are in the b range because of the large amount of protein you get from each crab-come on who can argue with that.
But once you add, milk and mayonnaise, and butter, and all kinds of greasy food additives and binders to hold this meat in a patty shape, you have almost just as much fat as you do protein. So if you are aiming to gain muscle and grease on your bones, this is a perfect meal.
You could make it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner... well, and desert. In the mornings try making a good-ol-fashioned crab cake benedict.
These protein packed breakfast lumps will start your day with an accelerated bang. Crab and eggs are both an excellent source of protein, and protein is an excellent source of energy, thus you have perfect day starting meal.
Unless you're starting your day around lunch time, in that case you may want to go with some crab wraps. These are pretty much like your original crap cake, but less caky and more wrappy.
Give your crab a plantain wrap for a wonderfully Cuban inspired lunch. Get some guacamole for a side and you will be in a good shape.
What I like to do is start my day with the crab cake benedict and then for lunch get crap plantain wrap, but when it comes to dinner I do something completely different. The crab BLT, yes, it tastes as delicious as it sounds.
BLT, good; crab cake, good. Why not mix them?
No reason not to, so we did. Something incredible happened that changed both BLTs and crab meat forever. Destry Masterson is a health and nutrition expert. She publishes articles for http://www.dailybread.com and recommends them for food storage.
