Ideas for munchies during the football game?

[LabRatBrewer]

I made these this weekend, they came out great:

The pretzels as tooth-picks worked very well. The recipe is from the site I referred to above.

Also, here is a pierogi recipe: http://noblepig.com/2009/09/pierogi/

Those look tasty AND fun.

Hey here's another idea, how about make a large tray of sausage and peppers and bring a bag of rolls with you. This way people can put together their own sandwiches of whatever size you choose...

Wait, stupid question, are rolls popular in Michigan?

One of my favorite snack style food is Bagna Cauda (said bah-nyah cow-dah).

We always made a commmunal batch of it for parties in our big electric skillet.

I'll probably wind up editing this recipe when I get home but it was something like:

4-6 heads of garlic minced (not cloves, heads)
4 sticks of butter
6 tins of anchovies
1 pint of heavy cream

Melt 1/2 stick of butter in the skillet, quickly sear the garlic when the butter stops foaming (15 sec sear). Add the rest of the butter. When all the butter is melted, add the anchovies and stir until they basically disappear. Whisk in the heavy cream. Keep it warm to hot while serving (hence the reason for the electric skillet, but a crockpot can keep it warm too). The cream will eventually separate out because there aren't enough emuslifiers in the butter to hold it all, but a quick stir and it still tastes good, even if it doesn't look as good.

Use raw veggies or bread to dip into it (sorry Yoop, although thinly sliced fillet or something may work really well).

Makes enough to serve an army and your whole house will smell like garlic for at least 1 day after and sometimes up to a week. Yum!

MY grandfather was from Piemonte Italy where Bagna Cauda is from. This is one of the tastes that I learn to love when I was little, haven´t had one in years... I think I´m going to try it this weekend.

Atomic Buffalo Turds are very tasty. I'll sub the lil smokie with a shrimpy. I can fit a couple dozen in the smoker but they can be done in the oven just as well.

I'm going to add this to my list of things I will make when SWMBO is out of town on business! :rockin:

Yeah, some guys get some strange when their wife is out of town, I just get some strange food.

Yooper posted a link with the full instructions from Braukaiser (sounds vaguely German, no?)

Here it is again in case you missed it:

Here's the edited version. I'm on the app right now so I can't use italics to edit the original. If anyone needs an edited version, let me know and I can do it in about 5 hours.

4 heads of garlic minced (not cloves, heads)
2-8 sticks of butter
7-10 2 oz tins of anchovies
1 quart of heavy cream

Melt 2 sticks of butter in the skillet, quickly sear the garlic when the butter stops foaming (15 sec sear). Add the anchovies and stir until they basically disappear. Whisk in the heavy cream or add 4-6 more sticks of butter. Keep it warm to hot while serving (hence the reason for the electric skillet, but a crockpot can keep it warm too). The cream will eventually separate out because there aren't enough emuslifiers in the butter to hold it all when everything is hot, but a quick stir and it still tastes good, even if it doesn't look as good.

With all the bacon talk, how about jumbo shrimp (shrimp cocktail size or even tiger prawns) wrapped in bacon and cooked in the oven?

I know the event has long passed, but I'm sure there will be more sporting events.

A local Mexican place does that (bacon wrapped shrimp) but they deep fry it. It's amazing.




I'm going Asian this weekend.....

- Thai chicken satay (marinated in red curry paste, coconut milk, garlic, & fish sauce)
- A Jaad (cucumber, chili, & shallots in a sugar/vinegar sauce)
- ground turkey lettuce wraps

I must say this came out pretty damn epic.

I'm going to repost my dumb question. Are rolls popular in Michigan/the Midwest or is that more an East Coast thang?

Rolls? What kind of rolls?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Hard rolls, sub rolls, kaiser rolls... any sandwich vehicle that isnt sliced bread or croissant...

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I know I asked for an egg sandwich on a roll in New Hampshire once and the lady behind the counter didnt understand why I would want a sandwich involving eggs, and didnt know what I meant by "on a roll".

 

[bob1852]

Hard rolls, sub rolls, kaiser rolls... any sandwich vehicle that isnt sliced bread or croissant...

"Rolls" in the midwest (at least where I have ties to) are basically cinnamon buns.

And "bars" are any kind of dessert that you cut into bar shaped pieces.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Ahhh... then my sausage and peppers idea might not be the best for you. It just loses something between two pieces of sliced bread.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Although, I guess you could use hamburger buns successfully...

 

[Yooper]

Hard rolls, sub rolls, kaiser rolls... any sandwich vehicle that isnt sliced bread or croissant...

Ah. Well, we call those "hard rolls", "kaiser rolls", etc. Or, more generically, "sandwich rolls". Most of the time we call them "buns".

Rolls are doughnuts.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Oh cool. Then I highly suggest a tray of sausage and peppers and some buns.

 

[TyTanium]

Doing rosemary chicken roasted over root veggies + spinach avocado salad + pumpkin/squash bisque for the game tonight. With my pumpkin ale and wet hop IPA. Looking forward to it.

Go Packers.

Yoop...

What is on tap for tonights game? I saw the pretzel recipe and it might be a go as well with some fresh Oktoberfest homebrew! Any recipes for mustards?

Google "Moosetard", order, and enjoy. It obviously won't be there for tonight's game but its good to have a supply...

I'm low on beer! Only one IPA on tap at the moment, with 15 gallons more to be kegged after dryhopping.

But, I have a few beers stashed around here. Let's see, I have one Surly Furious, one Lake Erie Monster, and one Mad Hatter. So, pretty strong on IPAs and not much else!

I typically don't eat in the evening, and we're not having friends over, so no food. Just beer. :cross:
