Favorite foods to eat/cook for game day

[Longboard Horn 41319]

What do y’all like to cook during game day tailgating? For me personally you can’t go wrong with ribs, hot links, and pulled pork.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2779]

Brisket and bacon wrapped dove.

[DalTxHornFan 3130]

It depends upon how much drinking you want to do.  It's not easy to screw up a pork shoulder or hot links.  You really need to be on your game for brisket or ribs.

1. Wake up - bloody mary

2. Before heading to tailgate 2*Breakfast Tacos

3. Beer

It's not game day and it's not cooking but I love putting together pico de Gallo.

 

Just did.  Pico de Gallo and a cool hoppy lager

chili

Chorizo queso and jap poppers. Every time. 

[Knoxtnhorn 6262]

Have a friend who makes a perfect Buffalo Hot Wing Dip.  I've tried to replicate it and haven't come close.

Pulled pork really is easy to do.  Ribs can get expensive if you have a lot of people.  And a whole mess of wings.

Have done a brisket a time or two, once a Prudhomme dark gumbo, smoked sausages, Frito Pie several times, Bob Armstrong Dip several times, and CoCola Salad (one of your Texas congealed salads with cherry Coke, Cherry Jello, a little pineapple, cream cheese, and some pecans.  It looks like a dog's breakfast, but the crew likes it.),  Even did Rotel/Velveeta queso once or twice in a rush.  These are all for game-watching at various homes up here---tailgating being a bit remote.

Some form of noach is usually my go to. If I wake up hungover and 11am kickoff I go get some menudo and barbacoa.

The souls of the vanquished.

I go hungry a lot.

Pulled pork?  We talking SEC tailgating?

[Kennythetiger 9584]

I know that 11:00 games aren't very popular with y'all, but they're my favorite.  I usually go all-out on a really late breakfast.

I love this thread.

I have an Orion cooker and it can’t be beat for the time to volume prospect (and portability). It’s not anywhere close to as good as my BGE but for making pulled pork sandwiches for a bunch of drunks it’s ideal. Two 8 lb butts done in 4 hours. 6 racks of pork ribs done in 75 mins.

For something different: I bought a small deep fryer and have produced a few hits. Wings (super simple), deep fried Oreos in pancake batter, and reuben egg rolls.

[Buzzrock 15115]

Oh yeah and for early games: fatties. On a biscuit.

Reviving this thread.  Cooking a couple of racks of baby backs.  Going to hit them with some cooked down peach/habanero jelly for some homemade rib candy.  Pinto beans in the instant pot.  Leftovers during the game with some jap/cheese sausage.

this is the correct answer. + pico, tortillas, cheddar, white bread, pickles, onions.

Chicken fried backstrap sliders using homemade biscuits-  topped with cream gravy .....brunch-ish for an 11am game-

replace gravy with a diced candied jalapeño smear for later in the day.

Fajitas

With today's on-field result, the answer is smoked Sooner pony.

Here’s what my cousin and I made for lunch at halftime. Two porterhouse steaks. No sides.

[idahorn 26]

I have a short list of alternatives: smoked  brisket and sausage, Bob Armstrong dip, Gumbo (Paul Prudhomme recipe), simple queso, Bean dip (seasoned black beans, cream cheese, jalapeños), CoCola salad (my Mom's recipe for a congealed salad-cherry coke, cherry jello, canned cherries and pineapple, cream cheese, and pecans), Jambalaya (PP recipe), Frito pie, migas (mornings), homemade egg nog (Bowl games).  There are regular game-watching parties up here and I like to cook.

That sounds damn good, is that this year’s blackstrap? Lost a bunch of venison this summer to a GFI plug in the garage. Hope to have some fresh maybe next week.

[Reagan1k 3040]

No - We have a seemingly never ending supply due to our management program.   We're hammering our frozen venison right now that was processed in Jan and Feb - trying to clear space for what's coming this month and next.  Like a revolving door......

Like I said - take candied jalapenos with the syrup... dice them up and use them like jam as a spread on any fried meat, including fried chicken or pork chops.  Winner.
