I am hosting an Autism Forums BBQ.

apple pie

 

[Metalhead]

I will have an open burger bar, full of toppings and condiments. I will have non alcoholic beers in the cooler. Ideally, I will also have an Olympic size swimming pool for everyone to cool off in.

 

[Jumpinbare]

ah yes good old dipping oreos in mustard, yum!

I usually just spread a little on the cookie.

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

I'll bring a gallon of maple syrup, if somebody else brings the pancakes.

I like my Maple Syrup aged in Bourbon Barrels. The vanilla and caramel notes add depth.

 

[maycontainthunder]

I'll bring weird pizza to a recently invented recipe involving pasta sauce.

You can buy kangaroo meat in supermarkets all across Australia. It's very lean and very healthy but not very popular mostly just because most people aren't very adventurous.

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s it was very popular in Europe because of the mad cow disease, it tastes very similar to beef yet different enough that they knew it wasn't beef and therefore was safe to eat.

I've heard that wallaby tastes better than kangaroo. Is that true?

 

[Dagan]

Curious....we eat gator here in the US. How much, if at all, do folks eat crocs in Australia?

Same flavour but milder. When I was living in the bush wallabies were my favourite food but down in the cities if I killed one I'd end up in all sorts of trouble.

It's a novelty meat that you'll see at takeaway food stalls in markets and in some restaurants but it's not really a mainstream food. The same with Camel, Emu, Buffalo and Possum meat.

The crocodile meat that the general public gets to try tastes just like chicken because that's what farmed crocodiles are fed on, crocodile is also a white meat, but if you were allowed to catch one in the wild I imagine it would taste a lot more like fish.

I wish I had a smoker so I could prepare some ribs.

Maybe if I win the $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot, I could make all of this a reality.

I'm not exactly holding my breath there, though.

 

[cooljethro]

I'll bring the boombox, to amp up the party atmosphere.

 

[Trophonius]

(maybe an Autism Forums BBQ isn't possible, but I wouldn't be opposed to an Autism Forums movie night which is kind of possible streaming through discord)

 

[Jumpinbare]

Can I bring Saloli?

 

[Nervous Rex]

I am bringing devilled eggs. It’s funny that when I make breakfast, two eggs is a lot. But if there are devilled eggs in reach, I swear I could eat a dozen of them without slowing down.


6 boiled eggs
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
⅛ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon white vinegar
Smoked Spanish paprika

Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolks. Mash up all the yolks in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix in the vinegar a bit at a time until it is as sharp as you want it.

Add the liquid mixture to the egg yolks a bit at a time until it is the consistency that you want it. Fill the egg whites with the mixture. Garnish with paprika.

I've eaten alligator. It tastes like chicken but also has a kind of swampy, fishy flavor. It's best eaten rolled in cornmeal and fried, IMHO, like chicken nuggets.

Emu was a big thing here for a while, but I think the ranchers finally figured out that it was just a pyramid scheme to raise them as a meat source.

Young goat is quite good if you can get it. It's hard to find in the US but I've had it numerous times in Mexico.

Bison is increasingly popular and readily available in the US.

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

I’ll bring some meat.

 

[Xinyta]

Love it - great idea


Ill bring Waffles

Pffffttttt...

 

[Nervous Rex]

Sure, but we'll need to know his dietary restrictions.

Bison is increasingly popular and readily available in the US.

When I first moved up to Darwin we didn't have massive nation wide distribution centres for the large supermarket chains, and the most popular meat in Darwin at the time was Water Buffalo. I prefer it to beef because of it's low fat content and it's strong flavour.

The Australian Beef Industry took over in the late 90s and now you'll only find buffalo as a novelty item in the fast food stalls in the night markets.

 

[RemyZee]

I'll bring sweet tea....in the tradition of the southern US.

Add the liquid mixture to the egg yolks a bit at a time until it is the consistency that you want it. Fill the egg whites with the mixture. Garnish with paprika.

That's my standard recipe, too! Sometimes I add minced dill pickles and a teaspoon or two of the pickle juice (instead of plain white vinegar) to loosen up the mixture before putting it in the egg white halves.

I've been steaming the eggs for years instead of boiling them. I put the eggs in a steamer basket inside a pot, get the water to a boil, cover with a lid, and let them vigorously steam for 12 minutes. Then lightly crack the small end of each egg and drop them in ice water till they get cold. It works better for me than boiling them.

Here's the tragedy of Shakespearian proportions: I'm allergic to eggs!
