Got an 1100 CST kickoff coming up, looking for ideas as to what some have done in the past for easy to do "food". We dont cook on site, but can reheat etc. Plan max of 20 people. Note red beans and rice recipe I got in the past was the bomb!!!! (but a no fart bomb!)
We mostly do a sandwich a platter for lunch games. Easy and nobody really wants a huge meal that early. We make a bunch of dressed Po boys and then slice them into small sandwiches. The usual--ham and cheese, turkey, pastrami, roast beef. The muffaletto po-boy is my favorite. In fact three or four muffalettos cut into eigths ain't bad. Something people can hold in their fingers standing around,
If you are going early, put individual omelets in a zip lock bag. You can either micro or boil and presto, breakfast.
Or you can just eat before you get there. Sorry...tailgating feels too much like work to me, which I don't want to do on a weekend.
Can't "like" this enough. Maybe it is my anti-social side, but going to a game is supposed to be fun, not stressing about a menu and timelines. For me, at home games, Jambalaya by Shake just before the game is good enough for me.
I enjoy the tailgate stuff more than the game. Before we had kids we would go to several games a year both home and away and half the time didn't go to the game just went for the tailgate and watch game from the tent or rv. So for the 11am games we would just do a big breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits if there an oven or can build a fire for the Dutch oven, beignets, etc.....then have the fish to fry or stuff to grill for after the game.
Yes, again, if I have to lug all of the that stuff to a remote site, that is far more work than it is worth for me.
Yea just difference in what someone enjoys. I want to cook and do all that on site bc that's the part I enjoy the most.
Yep, and I go to football games because of the football. I was raised that way, though. Since my dad was a coach, and I was always at games (from birth), my mom had some pretty strict rules about games, such as I could go to the concession stand once (maybe), and that had better be at halftime. I'm still like that now; when I go to a game, I go to watch the game. The only problem with the halftime idea these days is that my daughters (especially at Plano Senior High games) go to watch the Planoettes (drill team) and the Wildcat band. This week, we'll have to watch both the Planoettes AND the Plano West Royales because my daughter, who is a freshman, has friends on both drill teams. At LSU games, I get into the stadium early and go to the restroom at halftime. That's about it. Generally, I don't eat while I'm there.
