What dish are you bringing to the Cookout?

[Rkolter]

i think if you brought fish pudding it'd freak rock out too.

Yeah, that was my original idea, but then I found out that fish products are a no-no.

oh that's right! forgot.

That's actually the reason I don't think I can bring ANY type of typical Norwegian food... they're all about fishy stuff here.
Well, that and the fact that I can't take all that much luggage with me. I'll probably bring a few Norwegian snacks that are easy to transport, but it won't be anything as exotic or freaky as fishpudding.

I'd say awwww, but let's be honest. I wouldn't eat the fish pudding. Those two words just don't belong adjoining each other.

I once thought like you, you know.

Yet I bet that 80% of you people would actually LIKE it the way I'd do it.

But I guess you'll never know.

I have to confess that I'm not a massive fan of seafood* but fish pudding definitly sounds a bit contradictory for the old pallette.

* I think it's because people serve it up whole. I'd rather eat something that didn't actually have eyes and a mouth whilst sitting on my plate.

They sell lutefisk around here where I am. I'll see if I can bring some. No way in hell am I eating it, mind.

I'll try to bring (or buy once I'm there) a dip feast. It'll require no cooking. Will only need a little prep time and space in the kitchen.

I'll also be bringing brownies, of course.

No fish....allergic to it. Even the smell of fish makes me get ill.

[Kris X]

All I ask is that I can go to a store and get veggie food for me Thursday night. I'll happily feed myself the 3 nights I stay at the Kolters. I don't want to be a hassle for making a separate dish for because I can't eat meat if it be served. Leave that to me.

[BOMC]

Provided I can get to a grocery store, and am allowed a bit of counter space and stove time at the Kolters', I'm gonna make potato skins (some with cheese and bacon, some just seasoned).

[RemusShepherd]

Gotcha, will not bring fish of any sort.

(I guess technically lutefisk qualifies as 'fish', although I think it's really sort of a paint remover.)

You have a problem with Norwegian dishes? Or maybe you don't like rotten fish? (Childhood in Minnesota. I've eaten Lutefisk).

[Rock_dash]

I saw that King of the Hill episode about Lutefisk. I'll never never touch the stuff. Ever.

[Dutch!]

Actually, this doesn't all sound that bad, to be honest. If I was to paddle my way across the Lake to join you all, I'd buy some salt and flour and cook up a good old fashioned damper for you all...

But maybe next time.

Heh...we could have an Australian Cook Out Get Together with me, Joel and Cope and all meet in the middle. Hopefully Lake Eyre still won't have any water in it...

[JTigerclaw]

Can I bring a whole bunch of tortilla chips and lots of QUESO for dipping?


Or do I have to think of something else because someone else is bringing salsa?

[Rock_dash]

Si. Si you can.

I really should update the list, shouldn't I?

[RemusShepherd]

Can I bring a whole bunch of tortilla chips and lots of QUESO for dipping?

I'm thinking of doing tortilla chips and lots of things to dip them into. But anything you bring can just be added to the feast.

[JTigerclaw]

That's good. Then I won't have to find a way to buy 10 bags of tortilla chips before I get to the cookout.

[Garneta]

I've decided that since Jim's volunteered to make french toast Sunday morning, that I'm only gonna bring one dish to the cookout instead of the two I'd planned on. This'll save a bit of kitchen space before the cookout, too! Now I just have to decide which one to make, or find something even better!

[Kris X]

If I can smuggle it into my napsack--Or even better buy it at our airport branch--I'll provide tastey gourmet popcorn. I can bring the tradition cheese and caramel or I can give the Kolters a list of flavors and let them pick one (since they run this event). I suggest the Jalepeno Cheese one...Mmmm.

[Rkolter]

... jalipeno cheese popcorn? *drool*

[Kris X]

Sweet. A fellow Jalepeno eater. Consider me to try and bring it then.

[TheSuburbanLetdown]

I know how to make granola. I may bring some. I dunno.

I also have a container of evil powder. It makes food pretty hot.

I saw that King of the Hill episode about Lutefisk. I'll never never touch the stuff. Ever.

so, you're the man with the terrible smell!
