Gametime snacks.

Recommended Posts

A Jets game is a great excuse to nibble away on snacks. Those that are home made are fun to make as well as eat. One of our fave's are pigs in blankets using mini wieners and crescent roll dough. Another uses tortilla 'scoops'. We whip up some highly spiced chopped meat. It's added to the shells along with some left-over red sauce. Each scoop is topped with a small bit of cheese. [An individual slice of American cheese cut into ninths works well.] The scoops are put onto a greased or oil-sprayed tray and popped under the broiler 'til the cheese melts.

 

Anyone out there got a home-made fave? We're always on the look-out for something new.

Me too, an excuse to nibble away on snacks? WTF?

OK, OK. I'm sure there are lots of folks who don't snack while watching a Jets game. They're Jets fans, too! Love 'em all!

 

Go, Jets!

Thsi year we had a Mission BBQ open in our area and the first 100 people there on the opening got free BBQ for a year. 
 

so I’ve been getting that on Sundays if I don’t grab a pizza 

 

I have a great recipe for homemade Queso that I do quite often as well and either have tortilla chips or soft pretzel bites with it. 
 

so much better and cheaper than going to someplace like Moes and paying over $12 for two small bowls

That BBQ's a great thing to be a part of. Hat's off to you.

 

Home-made snacks are more bang for the buck, and that's for sure. With a bit of planning you can do the kitchen stuff during half-time or one of those ever-longer commercial breaks.

 

All the best.

 

Go, Jets!

This season my game time snack consists of the strongest alcoholic beverage I can find.

Hi!

 

For what it's worth, I share your pain. Gout stops me from taking that particular analgesic in a meaningful dose, though.

 

Go, Jets!

Love the goof/troll job.  Well done.  Love the experimental cooking of pigs in a blanket.  lol

chicken tartar

 

 

 

LMFAO!  Usually, I go with one-third each of raw lamb, pork and venison.  Then add in some chopped shallots, Parmigiano Reggiano as well as a nice chiffonade of parsley and fresh Greek Basil.  Of course I'll introduce in some sea salt, a few generous grinds of black pepper, Sicilian olive oil and just soupçon of aged Balsamic from Modena instead of the traditional Worcestershire sauce.   Will try your suggestion this weekend.  Thanks.

EDIT:  Came back to edit in case some idiot doesn't realize that I'm kidding and winds up dead or in the hospital making this raw insanity.

Buffalo Chicken Dip is a big game staple in my household. 

It's a good snack. There's chemistry involved, too. Hot Buffalo wings are hot because of capsicum, the hot chemical in peppers. It's oil soluble, not water soluble. So ... a blue cheese dip is rich in oil. It removes the capsicum from the mouth. Golly gee whiz, Mr. Science!

 

Enjoy the games and the snacks!
