Tailgating Recipes

I have this new, goofball, idea where we use an apple corer to strip charcuterie and then use the strips to envelope- say chicken tenders. They are then grilled. Like a poor man's larding, hehe...

What you talking bout Willis... I have always thought charcuterie was more of an art(salting,smoking,curing) than a particular cut of meat. Did Ruhlman and Polcyn steer me wrong?

Dig it...

Put hard salumi, or venison summer sausage or mortadella (maybe?) where the apple is.

(that just isn't going to read right, no matter what I do to it, lol)

EDIT: For a more low-tech application of the concept, Slim Jims inside chicken tenders. Eat you heart out, KFC!

So ribs aren't supposed to fall of the bone? They are tender and juicy. I think I would cook them a little less but my wife likes them that way.

pork Roll and it's most famous name brand Taylor Ham is a NJ breakfast sandwich staple. It's served on a "hard roll" with an egg and cheese.

You pan fry the pork roll and brown it up, slide it on the roll, then add the egg and cheese. Salt, pepper and ketchup are the condiments. A fantastic hangover cure for the jersey shore type, and a treat for over 40's who can't eat that crap every day.

Before I moved out here and my wives friends would come out to NJ to visit, I'd always get them a PRE&C. No one has ever put it down and stopped eating it. They all loved it.

When I was in my 20's partying every weekend at our jersey shore house, a PRE&C and an Arizona iced tea would cure your ills and last until dinner.

Does anyone else love Boars Head cold cuts? They have them at our local Kroger on State St in New Albany, but the service is so slow we often have to skip the deli counter. Ive complained several times to the manager, but they keep on hiring older ladies who either can't move very well or don't want to. Very disappointing to have to wait sometimes 30 minutes to get 4 different cuts.

got to have taylors whole pork roll from the east coast. ny. nj

I see that for sale at Krogers. Just what is it? I always thought it was some type of sausage.

It's more like ham, but it has a smoky flavor. I'm sure that wiki link will give you all the information you want, and possibly too much. pork roll at least is not scrapple, a south jersey, Philadelphia breakfast meat that I find unappealing, though I was able to make my dog want to stay outside all day after eating too much of it,

One more thought before the ambien kicks in A burger joint up route 3 from Giants Stadium was called the Fireplace or something. You ordered from grumpy men sort of like the old SNL sketch, cheeseburger cheeseburger pepsi.

You would say something like, cheeseburger with Taylor ham, the old guy would turn around and yell cheeseburger sunny side up. If you wanted egg on that sandwich i think he would say make it smile.

Really cool place to bring a date so they could watch the staff shout around and get your order perfect.

And by really cool, again I mean when i was in my 20's

SteveP mentioned them the other day. He said their bologna was pretty good on his fried bologna sandwich. Lately, i have mainly been shopping at Meijer but i might make a trip to Kroger for some deli meats, i do REALLY like a turkey i get at Meijer but i cannot remember the name right now.

Hey Art! My husband is a jersey transplant and LOVES Taylor Ham, egg and cheese on a roll with salt, pepper, and ketchup. Our only hold-up in being able to make them the "right" way at home is the darn roll!! Been able to find any good hard rolls around here??

Something brand new that I just noticed at the newly renovated Kroger on Hubbards Lane - they have a small free-standing computer terminal when you walk in the door that is for placing deli orders!!! We haven't tried it yet, but you place the order, continue shopping and then just stop by the deli to pick up your order before heading to the cash registers to check out. Probably not the best idea if you are just running in to grab a few things, but if you are going to be in the store for a while, it might be worth a shot.

No i haven't found hard rolls. Kaiser rolls is another name for them.

Those computers to order cold cuts are great. They were just coming around NJ when i moved.
