Monday’s Baltimore City Council luncheon, which turned acrimonious when photographers and television camera crews were temporarily ejected by city officials, has now spawned another controversy: the menu.

A report in The Examiner that said half the media were expelled because City Council members did not want photographs of the august body munching on crab cakes, was called into question by Mayor Sheila Dixon’s spokesman Tuesday.

“They were not eating crab cakes; it was salmon cakes,” Ian Brennan said. “We need to clarify that.”
