› BULLS-EYES & COW TALES Nostalgia overload comes wrapped in clear cellophane. The original maker of classic caramel creams (often known as bulls-eyes) and cow tales, local confectionery Goetze’s Candy has been creating these chewy treats right here for more than a century. You can get these candies everywhere — but they’re a Baltimore original. TASTE IT Available nationwide › LEMON STICKS A summer tradition in this city — and a signature of the annual Flower Mart in May — this combination could not be simpler: Cut lemon in half. Insert peppermint stick into center. Suck on the stick. And that’s it. The simple joy of this combination is revealed in how, as the stick dissolves, the flavor of the tart lemon contrasts with the sweet mint for a blend that’s both perfectly matched yet a surprise with each taste. ›››››››› TASTE IT Flower Mart (Mount Vernon, May 3-4); assorted spring and summer festivals Baltimore.org 25
