World Series Advice

[Dave Schwartz]

We are throwing our annual World Series party starting Saturday (of course), and I need some help.

We always serve "concession stand food," like hot dogs, nachos, hot roasted peanuts (in little bags), red vines, etc.

This year we want to expand a little bit and offer foods that are significant to the home team. That is, whatever specialty foods they actually offer at Fenway and St. Louis OR Houston.

So, what I need to know is "What do they serve in those places that are special?" Do they serve clam chowder at Fenway park?


Any help would be appreciated.


Regards,

"Living the high life" in St. Louis means take out from Steak and Shake.:D

I don't recall seeing the chowdah when I visited Fenway, but I do remember the multiple fried dough stands out on the street. Not my sort of thing, but seemed pretty popular

Dave,
Hope all is well. Here are a few ideas


Boston Cream Pie

New England Clam Chowder

This might not sound to good, but I do this every day game I watch at a house.

I'll have 4-6 dogs grilled up with toasted rolls. Then I pour homemade Boston Baked beans on top.

Just like chilli dogs, but Boston style.

Red,

That's how we do the dogs and buns but usually we just make chili. The beans sound like a great idea.

Hmmm, I wonder if it would be sacreligious if we did a "chicago dog?" Those are my favorite!



Jimmy,

Chowder and cream pie. I would never have thought of the pie!

Thanks, guys.


Anybody from St. Louis or Houston?

Hmmm,

Most of the "unique" food here is Cajun or Texican. (unless you want to build a bar-b-que pit and import a quarter cord of mesquite and a cow :)) A seafood Gumbo ("Gumbo" is pretty much how the Cajuns pronounce "Chowder", I think :confused: ) would fit that definition. If you want to really raise some eyebrows, a mess of boiled crawfish will liven up any party. For the squeamish, you can just tell them that they are baby lobsters :D.

To drink, the Margarita is king (or is that queen?).

BillW,

Well, that Cajun stuff will make me happy and the Margaritas will work for my wife. <G>

Thanks.

There is only one REAL chowder and it is R E D

[Dick Schmidt]

Tom,

Anyone who eats RED chowder is obviously a communist! White is right!

Edible items first popularized at the ST Louis World's Fair include the ice-cream cone, sliced bread, candy floss, peanut butter (a 'health food'), Dr Pepper (a 'health drink') and the hot dog.

For St Louis you have to serve Budweiser.....

[Dave Schwartz]

Budweiser? Who's he?

Well, it doesn't matter. We serve just about anybody.

Better known now as Cotton Candy (come to think of it, that sounds like someone who might be wearing a G-string)
