Tailgate menu?
- Thread starter RUfan
- Start date
thinking about pan searing some steaks with seasame seed oil and habenero peppers
Waiting to see what the weather's gonna do. Original plan included lots of steak and pirogi. If it's going to be torrential rain during the tailgate, might have to change plans.
thats one of the beauties of staying home and watching on tv..... doesn't matter what the weather does
We are planning our Italian tailgate for Saturday that will include 10-12 individual pizza pies from scratch, sausage and pepper, meatballs, etc. Making pies (no not Apple) in the rain and wind is tough so if it's bad we'll probably do that part of the tailgate at home (Piscataway) then head over to the stadium for the remainder of tailgate and game.
App: Grilled octopus w/ evoo, lemon, garlic, capers, and parsley
Main: Grilled porterhouse steaks with blue cheese compound butter & grilled asparagus
Drink: Bourbon Swizzle

U-15 white shrimp, Filet Mignon seared in peanut oil, baked beans, Caesar salad and death by chocolate cake. Cigars and Jack Tennessee Honey.
For somebody who doesn't go to the games you seem to have a long history of very strong opinions about what other people should do.
Believe it or not, I get my octopus from Shoprite. It's the only place I can consistently find it. They're small, frozen, and already cleaned. Not bad at all. Furthermore, I find the freezing process tenderizes the meat. No need to beat it, or go through several boiling cycles. Give it a go.
not sure where your getting that from, i honestly don't give a damn if you go to games or not... i just prefer watching at home.. i already pay for cable anyways so why put up with the traffic, crowds, expense, etc.... it's just easier.. i get food i like, no waiting for bathroom, nothing over priced, don't have to deal with some damn kid being near me and whining.... it's good for me.. maybe not you and if you wanna go to games then go.. i'm not stopping you
Oh no. Not me. I don't eat anything that lives or even visits water, other than to drink it. I mean, if a cow were to dip it's front hoof into a stream, it'd risk being off my diet.
I will be sticking with very slightly dead land animals, thank you. :)

Few things on the planet are more beautiful to me than a woman with an IQ over 150. Anyway, I was talking about the hookers I bring and their wet T shirts. [winking]

I ate that stuff when I was a kid and it's was meh, but edible as long as there was a lot of butter involved. Now I find it mostly inedible (particularly crustaceans). I mean, a lobster? Looks like a cockroach that was caught near Chernobyl. Used to be prison food before the marketing folks took over.
nope. it is not.
we are arriving at 7am. Light breakfast and lunch.
our menu is not complete but so far we have:
Angus Burgers with a make your own Burger Bar
Bell's Infamous Hot Dog Roller Dogs
Wraps with Smoked Chicken Breast, fresh spinach tomatoes and a white balsamic citrus basil
Sweet Lou's Hickory Smoked Ribs & Mesquite Smoked Brisket
Sausage & Peppers
Double Fried French Fries
Deep Fried Chicken Nuggets with dipping sauces
Grilled Veggies
potato Salad
Chris' Famous Dessert Bar
I hope the weather cooperates. Because it's unlikely to be a fun game to watch. So my goal is to win the tailgate.
8-9am for me.....bar pies with the pizza oven, pork sticks, wings, and whatever else.....beer/jameson/scotch..
We can't seem to get our menu together. Right now we're just doing calzones and stuffed Italian breads for dinner. Then I'm going to attempt Cherries jubilee for dessert. (In case you didn't know, Michigan is the #1 producer of cherries in the world. )
I'm with you. I live thousands of miles away, so don't have to worry about the attenda-tards, but if I lived within an hour of the stadium, I'd probably do one or two games a year and stay home for the rest. Game day experience is fun, but I'd much rather be watching other games or doing something else than setting up/cleaning up tailgate/waiting in line for the bus/sitting in traffic/driving to and from.
That said, the above meals sound awesome and I would probably be crashing some of those tailgates if I lived in state (without mentioning that I post here, of course : )
So why post in a tailgate menu thread? You would be the best poster in "watching at home thread".
Precisely.
Also, save his post for the next time he bitches about anything regarding game day experience.
He posted what he was eating. And it sounded pretty damn good, though I'm not sure about sesame oil and steak. Love both, not necessarily together.
Anyway, he contributed more to the spirit of the thread than you (or me :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:).
Except that you can't "sear" a steak in sesame oil. Or any other kind of oil. Searing temperatures are far above the temperature at which the oil smoke and then breaks down.
Basically what he's doing is frying his steak.
You got an anger-boner for R1176U?
I cannot find another way to explain away this terribly pedantic post in a fun thread about tailgating.
His history of contrarianism irritated me.
Also, you can't sear steaks in oil.I just figured I'd get that in before @ruhudsonfan saw it and things really got ugly. :)
To get back on topic (sorta): I'll be in NC missing the game this weekend. But I intend to eat plenty of BBQ and enjoy some beers (and maybe spirits) I can't find at home before watching the game on replay when I get back, probably with some very basic takeout for dinner.
Haha - there it is. Was waiting for you to break the wall of serious with some funny.
