favorite beer food?

Or 'bring something different to a Holiday party' food...

Here's mine: Scotch Eggs. They sound weird, but better beer food is hard to find.

Un-case your favorite uncooked bratwurst, like Johnsonville, or better yet, support your local butcher. A small slit down the length works.

Wrap one hard-boiled egg with one brat, making sure there aren't seams or openings (otherwise it may split during cooking). Roll each orb of goodness in bread crumbs, and place on rack above cookie tray (this lets the grease drip down).

Bake at 365 for 45 minutes. Done, let rest for 5 minutes or so. Really good with different mustards, especially that Beaver sweet-hot mustard.

I swear no matter how many of these I make, they all get eaten. And the gas bratwurst + hard-boiled eggs make is epic! Enjoy.

    If beer is a food,
    then I'd have to say more beer.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Yeah BABEEEEE! I usually get 24 and wash 'em down with Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat with a slab of lemon. Yeah, the Midwest is cool like that. :cool:

    When I was a young GI in England (Upper Heyford 79-81), I ate a few pickled eggs and washed them down with Bitter. Man, a squeaker would peel paint! :D I'm going to have to try those Scotch Eggs, sounds good (heh heh, he said "sounds" - pun intended).

    I think you nailed it...
    maybe substitute some horseradish sauce for the ranch.

    btw to the wing lovers, I'm with ya. I've never understood the concept of "mild" wings:confused:

    Bouden blank garlic and veal sausage. If your ever in Philadelphia go to Monks tavern. The owner has a patent on transporting beer from over seas and has a selection that you will not see any place in the US. And food to match the beer.

    I gotta go with HOT Wings smoothered in hot sauce and homemade ranch dressing in a rustic dark bar with nice, good looking waitresses. Not Hooters, although..........nevermind

    Close 2nd would be a (5) star burger in the same kind of joint. We have a place across the border in Wisconsin called Hanson's Tavern. It's a hole in the wall place, rustic if you get my drift and they have the best hamburgers within a 50-75 mile radius perhaps farther. Very non-descript no sign out front but ask anyone in the area about Hanson's; they've probably heard of it. :cool:

    Irish fries are great with your favorite suds too.

    Damn I'm getting hungry.

    Wings are up near the top of the list along with good pizza. However, there is also a local bar that sells popcorn chicken. That's good beer food! They also have Shawn's Fries which are fries covered with Ranch dressing and then provolone and bacon. They throw it in the over until the cheese melts!

    However, for wings, I can see mild. There is this bar up in Cinnaminson, NJ called The Jughandle Inn and they are, hands down, the BEST wings I have ever had. They make a plate of garlic wings that are out of this world! Of course you can order them mild, medium, hot and bald eagle. The mediums will make ya sweat, the hot have a good, strong burn. The mild will still kick a bit but the best part is the garlic! The wings are swimmin' in it! They also make honey wings along with the usual wing fare. The wings they use are full size too so when you pay 7 bucks for a plate of wings, you get 7 bucks worth.

    Yeah, my favorite beer food is a plate of 10 hot, garlic wings and 10 hot, honey wings with an order of Old Bay fries and a pitcher full of Yuengling fresh from the tap! That's good eatin'!

    Bangers n' Mash at a local Irish pub here called Molly Malones.
    It almost melts in your mouth and is infused with enough thyme to choke a horse.

    I prefer to wash it down with a BBC Dark Star Porter (locally brewed and hard to beat).

    Wow! That sounds awesome, cheese curds are so good. Hard to find unless you're near a cheese factory, they really have to be fresh.

    Edited because that pic was huge.

    Poutine is the ****. Its good in Canada as they have it readily available.

    Plus, everytime we go up north from here, or down to Chicago we'll stop at the cheese factories and get the fresh squeaky cheese curds. :D
