Was that filet of redfish, flounder or cod Larry? A White Zinfandel is the answer, not a Cab.?

BTW that Oberon sounds intriguing. I can get it for around $20 after tax with my Vet's cash discount locally. I'll pick up one today and serve it with a T-bone & baked potato some time this week.

We had breaded flounder the other day, not as good as fresh catch but not too bad.

Back to basics on GAMEDAY, tailgating or similar meals which is best or the most popular? Steaks, burgers, ribs, hotdogs, chicken, chili, pizza, tacos, fish, chips & dip or anything really delicious.

Well I checked around for a few ideas, here's a few I found.

Best tailgating food ranked by college students. 1. was dip and chips 10. was chili. https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/best-tailgating-foods-ranked-college-students

so the other day, I decided to try avocado. I was buying fruit to dehydrate, and stuff to make steak kababs.

a few friends are avocado enthusiasts - it's supposed to be good for you.So, I bought one to try. A close friend said to wait til they turn black, and softer, and then you eat them.

So, I did.

Should have known "turning black" was an omen...of bad things.I peeled it back, and cut off a chunk and ate it.Actually, I didn't, I tried, but it was nasty blah with a slimey texture like maybe...

axle grease? lard? In fact, a chunk of lard would taste better, I think.Then I find out you are supposed to put it in stuff - like scrambled eggs...salad...

Nope. I have a bunch of kiwi and mango fruit dehydrated chips, going to try papaya to see if that is any good. Dragon fruit is terriific. Too much like a jell, but very good. Not for dehydrating I think.

I should probably just stick to BLTs. I love those, and regular fruit.

The key to avocado is either putting it in salads with other stuff or try it alone by getting rid of the seed and filling the hole of each half with some type of salad dressing that you like. French goes well with it. Eat it with a spoon carving out a bit of the avocado with a decent amount of the dressing of choice. When I lived in Caracas we had 5 avocado trees in the back yard. We had a tin can on a long pole in which we would enclose what appeared to be a ripe one, rattle it a bit and if it was ready it would drop into the tin can. If it didn't then it wasn't quite ready. BTW there are black and there are green avocados . The secret in the store is to squeeze them for softness and buy unless they are just way too squishy. And you don't want any that feel hard as a rock either. No ripeness at all inside. If any of the avocado of either color is black inside then you just carve that part out and don't eat it because it is overripe. The rest should be just fine.

Avocados are my wife's area she loves them. I like them prepared correctly in a variety of dishes and dips.

Oh that tin can on a long stick thing works for various fruits. Where I grew up we had 10 different fruit trees on our property we'd pick nice pears way up there with a can with a sharp slit in the side..... capture...twist....lower. It works.

You have to be kidding me. You never had an avacado till now? You wait unti they get somewhat soft then they are ripe, not fucking black.

Ok folks. Make this lynching complete. I don't like (and won't eat) avocado either. Just one of those things that I've tried multiple times, but "no thanks".

That's the thing about food it's one of the most subjective things in this whole wide world. What some people absolutely love others think is awful.

But whatever you like eat well !

So any special GAMEDAY meals or activities planned for SUPER BOWL 54 ?

My brother is supposed to come over this weekend but he's a vegetarian. Talk about subjective eaters. We have two nice big beautiful rib eye steaks planned for the ? grill with all of the steak fixens...... with a cold Sam Adams beer !

The wine crowd gets together. It's been the Soup-er Chilli Bowl for years, but it might be different this time, other than massive quantities of great wine. Different venue this year because the long time host's wife is going through chemotherapy, and it was too much for him to handle with 20-30 guests.

Haven't decided what I'm bringing yet though it will probably be some beef, or French onion soup if I get motivated.

Also, and Ag might be interested in this- bringing some wine up to Gene's for a future tasting that's been talked about for years, but long delayed. A vertical (that's one bottle from each year) of one of my favorite wines- Clio. From every year the wine's ever been produced. 2002-2016. I'm trying to find the 2017, but haven't seen it released yet.

Hey, I've mentioned a bunch of times I have a pretty limited diet. Guess I can throw eggs at you- that I don't eat either, unless they're well blended in some cake mix. To this day just the smell of scrambled eggs gets my stomach churning, and pretty sure I'd puke if I tried eating them.

Interesting, may try just the dip, minus the bread, serve with nachos. Looks to be wine friendly. Now about the mustard. Another Larry no-no, LOL. McDonald's double cheese, NO mustard. Actually, I have a recipe for swiss onion soup that calls for some powdered mustard, and I love it.

I'll post the recipe later, it's time consuming, but worth it.

For those who are low carb it would be good with a variety of chips and crackers. Might be better than or go with french onion or ranch dips.

The bread can be optional, the dip is kind of fondue like with skewers, forks or picks.
