Elizabeth Large’s Baltimore Sun blog, Dining@Large, taught me a new term today that I didn’t know - Pittsburghed. Having gone to college in Pittsburgh and home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, a hated football rival of the local Baltimore Ravens, I thought that this was going to be some sort of pejorative term but was delightfully surprised to hear that it is merely another term for “black and blue.” That is, “cooked over such high heat that the outside chars but the inside is very rare.”
