Favorite Food of FOGgers

[peter halle]

My wife says I think too much.  Along that path I propose a scenario and questions for all of you.

IF there were ever to be a grand assembly of forum members, and if it were to be in warmer months, and if food were to be served in an outside setting,

what kind of foods would Foggers like to eat?

Please don't read anything into this question that has not been stated here.  Just my curiousity.

Peter,

I would have to vote for Paella.  I am fortunate to have a friend who hails from Spain, and he cooks a mean one!

Best dish ever invented.  Perfect meal for warmer climes, cooked outdoors over flames, wine is passed around in a glass container (don't know the name, it's in the upper left hand side of the picture).  Doesn't get any better than that.

Barbq that is hickory-smoked for a long, long time is high on my list. Grilled chicken wings with lemon and garlic.
Great question. Here's another. When and where?

Thick rib-eye steaks.  Dry rub.  Seared but rare.

I vote for that too!!!!    But it has to be done right.Growing up in France,I had my share.I have not found a good restaurant here that does this dish the way it supposed to be.

Great meals.  Tough to do for many people.

I am pretty sure my favorite kind of food is the free kind [poke]

mmmmm  ribs

 

[Frank Pellow]

My favourite is simply chicken legs and thighs roasted over an open wood fire.  I don't coat the chicken with anything -it is simply flavoured with the smoke from the fire.  Here is a photo of me cooking chicken this way at Pellow's Camp:

I'm thinking that if a weekend at Pellow's Camp (with meals) were offered, there would be more participation in the FOG's contests. [big grin]  ( can't help it, I'm a chicken guy )

My Canadian uncles like roasting and smoking a piglet for big family get togethers (it's a big family so even a light turnout fills a backyard!)

When I throw parties out here, I usually do yakitori (grilled marinaded chicken, Japanese style) and it's a hit.

Now, if we use a similar rule as the "he-who-smelt-it-dealt-it" rule, we'd have the party at Eric's place in Oakland since he asked first.  I have Bulgarian friends in Mountain View who would love to come as guests... they'll bring the rekia and you won't actually care (or remember) what you eat.

Wahoo!  Road trip!

Rick's ribs. ;D

Are you sure you still want my ribs? Rumor has it Admiral Hasslefactor caused permanent damage to my psyche when she forced me to smoke her some ribs last week....with a few extra conditions as well, but I don't want to discuss it, because the words "Blue Leopard" are still a little traumatic for me.

Rick,

I hear that your ribs are great.  Your grilling attire - well, it is different and it makes a statement  [poke].

 

[Jonhilgen]

Another favorite of mine is a good-ole fashioned oyster roast.  We get some of the best tasting oysters down here (great briny/salty taste to them).  Fire up the steamer, cook em and dump em on what else?  A sheet of CDX plywood on horses with two large holes cutout (with trash cans beneath) so you can shuck and chuck.  What woodworker wouldn't like that?

Oh yes, cold beer too.

Beef Tri-tip slow cooked on a "Santa Maria" style barbecue, using genuine California Coastal Red Oak.

And of course, paired with a good red wine, preferably a California Pinot Noir.

 

[CharlesWilson]

Depending upon the number of people expected to be there, I will bring as much as a block of dark chocolate (10 lb. Wilbur Brandywine).

This is not intended as a main course, but as something to have after some fine dining.

Rick,  I don't think the shoes go with that outfit.

 

[hasslefactor]

If you think the shoes are questionable, you won't BELIEVE what he uses for a marinade....
