Its' A Food Montage...
Best Superbowl Eats You Can Get

After winning the 2nd annual Chili Cook-off everybody has been asking "What is your house going to eat for Superbowl Sunday". Well chili of course, but it got me thinking there was loads of other things that were staring on our table. Things that we have been preparing over the years have become staples at different gatherings.

I'm proud to present several of our projects, things that not only do we create but what my family and friends expect to see at our events... Notice the absence of white pudding, I have a new recipe that I want to try out the next time we get a whole pig, perhaps I will sneak in a serving of fagots too (look that up on the net if you dare)

Its' time for a Black Pig Food Montage...

Crab & Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms Smokes Polish SausageOn the left we have Barb's "Crab and Maple Smoked Bacon Stuffed Mushroom Caps". This is one of her favorites, she has even learn't to make them herself, no kidding!

On the right "Smoked Polish Smoked Sausage"  accents with lime and Wiri Wiri Peppers  




Cold Smoked SalmonPulled Pork on a BunOn the left "Cold Smoked
Salmon" accented with some pickled capers, served with herb cream cheese on a toasted pita wedge

On the right our very own Black Pig BBQ "Smoked Pulled Pork" served with slaw on a bun, this is becoming my fav... 




Fresh FruitSpicy Shrimp CocktailOn the left "Spicy Shrimp Cocktail " garnished with sliced Jalapeño peppers.

On the right "Fresh Fruit" with a splash of lemon. A nice light servings devoured by the kids and most adults






M&M meatsWoro Woro Hot ChiliOn the left The Big Dog can't cook everything some one of our guest brought a tray of "M&M's Meats platter" (ugh)

On the right  Yep you called it 2 time national chili winner "Wiri Wiri Hot Chili" while most of this went as is the kids (including me) had Chili Dogs




We also have a generous servings of potatoe chips and nuts, I originally planned for some "Beer Nuts" however my eldest Samantha got into them as they are also her favorites as well; Four pounds of candied nuts gone in as many days. To add insult to injury she ate the candy off the nuts and left the peanuts stashed away in a conner of the kitchen; you would think she was smart enough to get rid of the evidence... stupid kid. 

We had six different families over for the game and most of them were cheering for the Saints, I should have known. There is a lineage of the Acadian culture or what the States know as Cajuns down in New Orleans. Of course it would have been better if the Montréal Alouettes were playing, but the Saints would be the next best option. However, I was not serving anything with cheese curds and gravy, when will this torture end.

Our Superbowl Crew

Cheers from the Big Dog
