BUFFALOKIE Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I love food threads on OTW, so I am wondering what yall have planned for your Easter. We are going to Moms house and my Step Dad is smoking ribs and bologna. I am wondering what to bring as a side...something holiday specific that goes well with the main entree. Any suggestions?

All BBQ restaurants here serve it, and it is delectable. We are smoking a 5lb block along with the ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Ham. It always starts with a ham at our house. We are hosting 12-14 tomorrow and always enjoy getting together. Besides the ham there will be shrimp salad, and big and small croissants to go with both. Shrimp salad was a spring time fixture when we were young in Hilton Head. It will be the last round of the Heritage golf tournament from Hilton Head tomorrow, so it seemed fitting. We have a lovely vegetarian attending (son’s GF) so we have some sides to make and a boatload of stuff we just picked up at Whole Foods. I rarely take a short cut like that, but I never stop my wife from doing it! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Ham and Polish sausage. I am not cooking, my SIL is, and that was all I was told. I think they went down to the Broadway market today (nuts!) so whatever they see and buy will be added to whatever they are cooking. I am bringing three desserts including panna cotta (Hubby is making it) and carrot cake (baked and awaiting frosting tomorrow). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among this mornings errands was going to a special bakery to pick up a carrot cake. We have gluten and dairy issues attending, plus one guy with a deadly egg allergy. For only the low, low price of $60, you can get a carrot cake that eliminates all those concerns, and actually tastes great! Popsicles might have worked too....... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 We'll be at my Aunt/Uncles but presume it'll be Leg of Lamb (of God). Some year we'll need to host again so I can butterfly grill it. Good enough to rise from the dead for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Mother in law is hosting. She isn’t getting any younger, but she sure can cook! It may be her last chance to host before my wife insists that we take over. Ham and kielbasa from the Pulaski market in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People outside of Buffalo (Catholics even) don't know anything about Butter Lamb's...I've asked several over the years. Ok here's a question....how many people here took food to get blessed the day before Easter? That was a big tradition when I was growing up.

Nutrition wise no a who;e lot better for ya than a beef patty, but just thought I would mention.

My son briefly dated a girl who worked at the little Polish market, and she mass produced them as part of her seasonal family responsibilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
