Tailgate food?

I'm invited to a tailgate party at the NFL Giants football game today.
It's been ages. But when I asked what I could bring, I was told to bring
one dozen Dunkin Donuts, assorted.

????? Donuts & Beer ?????

I offered cheesesteaks divided up and foiled for reheating or a bag of
chicken satay marinating or the "lowly" cheese and crackers. But NOOO.
Donuts. I'll unload the rest of the twinkies too.

The BUMS!!!

I imagine there's a logical explanation!??

Tailgate food typically consists of barbecued burgers, hot dogs,
chicken, ribs, etc. with salads such as potato, macaroni, cucumber, etc.
Most tailgaters bring a portable charcoal or gas grill with them along
with a cooler full of cold food to cook and another cooler or two filled
with various beverages to drink.

IS THIS A EAGLES TAILGATE??????WOW STRANGE, past the sauce w / the
wings??? or is it donut holes.???

Being an Eagles fan in enemy territory, I think I'll root for the Rams,
quietly. 😄

Uh, I hope Andy left, the game is at 1. Tailgating has probably already
begun, and he's in Pennsylvania?? You don't just 'drive up' to the
Meadowlands at the last minute.

"Tailgate food" doesn't typically consist of "barbecued" anything.
Grilled, yes. Barbecued, no.

But now, allow me to direct you with Andy's point, which you seem to
have missed grossly: Donuts? Donuts?!

I don't even watch sports, yet I think they are heathens... maybe
you're the "breakfast" part of the tailgate - providing something to
munch on while the grill heats up?

I left at 8:30 a.m.. The New Jersey Turnpike is just like being in the
Indy 500! Everyone going between 80 and 100 mph. Darting across lanes at
high speeds. It's insane but it works incredibly well.

I got there at 10 a.m. and the tailgaters were everywhere and bbqs were
smokin'. I found my tailgate at 10:30 a.m. and had my first morning
beers since... college, so many braincells ago!!!

The logical explanation was that the donuts were for the kids who really
went for them before, during and after lunch!!! 😄

Tailgate foods were beef, turkey and salmon burgs, dogs, italian sweet
sausages, cole slaw, some antipasto and beers, sodas and waters.

For a day in early October, it was sunny and very hot by gametime.

It was a fun time. NY Giants handily beat the St. Louis Rams, 44-24. By
the time the game was over, there were only maybe 10,000 people in the
stands.

Looking forward to next year!

The End

(laugh) Yeah, I've done that a few times, like a million. But before
game time, before the Meadowlands exit, it usually jams up pretty
good. You made good time.

Hey, football season.

Sounds great, I'm far too lazy to cook at games.

Did you go into the game?

YEAH, Baby!! That was a nice game to watch. The Giants' answer to San
Diego last weekend! Glad you had fun at the game.

We kept switching between that game and the Astros game (go 'stros!),
while keeping track of the Texans' performance (which was OK,
considering they were playing a pretty decent team) on the laptop. Good
weekend, overall, for sports (Penn State also won yesterday, and Dallas
lost today 🙂!

Yes. We sat in the mezzanine on roughly the 5 yard line. Not a question
without merit, as I found out from talking to some tailgaters who just
tailgate for the social aspect of it and watch it on TVs or listen to it
over the radios, just steps away from the stadium.

There were four ladies who really had fun. They put up a card table then
put a tablecloth over it and put out china, wine glasses, the works, and
dressed in their Sunday best. Wish I'd had the camera!!!

Q: Why is it so windy at the Meadowlands?
A: Giant fans in every seat.

Oh, no, I wasn't rankin on you, it was a sincere question. Tailgating is
sometimes more fun than the game. That's a tough ticket, Giants at home,
you must know someone. I went to one game, 50 yard line, 4th row.
Couldn't see a thing. What do you want, free tickets (laugh).

Now wait a gosh darned minute. I've driven the NJ Turnpike and it was
downright tame. Since your experience was different, my guess is your
problem drivers were repatriated from SoCal.

They're not problem drivers. They're solution drivers! 🙂

Heh. There is, however, the occasion amateur who doesn't
realize the immediate danger of driving in the left lane at a speed
too far under the speed of light. Poor slobs.
