Eggfest in Minnesota

I had fun attending yesterday’s Eggfest in Minnesota. There were around 20 eggs serving food to the attendees. I attended to get some ideas, and the visit was successful.

My top foods:

1. a snack akin to a jalapeno popper. Had some creme cheese bacon (not sure what esle).

2. A fig wrapped in prosciutto.

3. The tenderest pork loin I ever tasted. The cook injected it with butter and a commercial rub. I don’t know if it is a fair comparison, but the pulled pork I tried at other tables was drier than that pork loin, and the pulled pork wasn’t injected. I plan to buy an injector.

4. Fellow egger, EggspertMN, cooked up two wonderful and colorful paella dishes in his paella pan. One was a chicken dish and the other seafood. I plan to buy a paella pan.

5. a beer brat. The brats were cooked on the grill with indirect heat. For the second phase, they were cooked in a watertight container with onions and a generous amount Newcastle beer.

I didn’t wait for the turkey to be served. It looked tasty but I was the one that was stuffed.
