Tailgating Recipes/Ideas 2008 edition

[cycloneworld]

We are going to mirror the football team for the 1st tailgate this year. Burgers and dogs...keep it simple to get us back into form while not giving away too much for future tailgates.

Something we did last year for a couple of the morning games were omelets in a bag. Put a couple of eggs into a ziplock bag, add your favorite ingredients, boil for a few minutes and eat. They are delicious.

If anyone is doing a Shrimp boil, I will be there!

We did a boil last season at the UNI game. The people that had it said it was one of the best tailgates they've been to, but we also had a lot of people who weren't real keen on seabugs (shrimp and crawfish). We had a LOT leftover.

If there's enough interest again this year, I'll do it and make sure to let you know.

Too bad all the CF T shirts will not be in by gameday, we could spot each other out.

I love breakfast burritos at the early morning tailgates (obviously not on Thursday) Goes great with a cold beer!

I tried some pineapple brats a couple weeks ago. They were excellent and really matched up well with the bottle(s) of Newcastle I had.

Yuck! :nah:
I had one of those a few weeks ago and was very disappointed. I prefer a standard flavor brat with lots of sauerkraut.

Re: Rabbit Stew

Is this dish in honor of our 1st opponent?

This is not a grilling recipe, but one of my favorite things to make at home before tailgating is a chili dip. Simply make whatever kind of chili you like best, then as it's done cooking and simmering, slowly mix in flour. It will thicken up and take on the consistency of a dip.

My favorite is a white bean chicken chili with lots of small peppers.

That's great to know! I've got a Graziano chili I make that I will try this with.
