We're hosting a little SB party this year and, since the game is in NOLA, we're using that as the theme for most of the food. So far, the menu contains the following,
- Raw oysters
- Charbroiled oysters, Drago style
- Creole spiced shrimp
- Chorizo boudin balls
- Smoked chicken and andouille gumbo with cubed double smoked country ham left over from Christmas
- Garbanzo beans and greens with smoked tasso
- Pickled green tomato and mirliton chow chow (subbing tomatillos for the green tomatoes)
- Grilled watermelon slices with ancho powder
- Hurricanes, Sazeracs, assorted beers from Abita and NOLA Brewing, and other beverages.
There will also be assorted cheeses (some smoked) and crackers, assorted nuts (including smoked Marcona almonds), smoked goose liver pate, lemon and coriander marinated olives, marinated anchovies (boquerones), smoked chorizo, and probably some other stuff I can't remember now.
