1000yregg Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Lemon Sticks- a large chalky peppermint stick, 1/2 lemon- jam the stick in the center and suck the minty sour goodness until your hands are all sticky.I think this kind of ghetto treat is a Baltimore original (anyone?) like Berger cookies. I remember spring fairs in elementary school when we used to look forward to these treats.My cousin was visiting Harborplace and we found a lemonade stand that sold them. The staff at first were surprised that it was being ordered, but they dug up the peppermint (probably years old) and made them for us.pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: origins of the treat and the Philly variant here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synaesthesia Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yeah whenever I see a bag of the King Leo sticks, I am always tempted to buy them for just this purpose. I don't know if Oasis is till at White Marsh Mall, but they would sell this, fried dough, and funnel cakes. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
