Delawareans are foodies at heart. While we love going out to dinner and checking out the huge variety of family-owned restaurants in the First State, sometimes we really crave homemade Delaware comfort food. If you’re looking to recreate the meals you grew up with, grab a skillet and get to making these delicious Delaware dishes.
Scapple and Eggs! There's no better way to start the day than with a regional breakfast meat that consistently confuses the rest of the country.
Crab Dip and Ritz Crackers are the only way to start a party. This Delmarva appetizer is typically made with a family recipe that's been passed down for generations.
Homemade apple butter is usually whipped up in the fall by families who spend a day canning the stuff to hand out to friends and neighbors. It's so good on pancakes!
Fried Chicken is a Delaware staple. Everyone seems to have their own fry recipe, and the best ones have a little bit of kick and a whole lot of crunch.
Crabcakes... because there are only so many times you can pick crabs by hand before wanting a little bit of a break. This is another dish that everyone has their own recipe for, and you should try every recipe in your family to find the best.
Finally, no meal is complete without our state's signature dessert - peach pie. This Delaware comfort food can be found at bakeries and orchards across the state, but it tastes best right out of the oven.
