Never Thought I'd Try THAT!

WudEyeDoo

When I bought my Egg a few months ago, I was looking forward to all the traditional cooks that you would expect on a grill/smoker. After many successful cooks I can say that I am even more excited about cooking on the BGE now than when I first started. I've tried many traditional things with it and have a long list of "stuff to try" thanks to this forum.[p]While carving a pumpkin for my son, I remembered a pumpkin seed recipe mentioned earlier and found it in the archives. I used the seeds from our pumpkin and followed the recipe and started cooking them on the egg. While standing next to my egg with pumpkin seeds in it, I got to thinking how strange that sounds. Pumpkin Seeds? I'm cooking pumpkin seeds? Man, I must have "BGE Fever" pretty bad. By the way, they were great![p]I got to wondering, what have you cooked on your Egg that would fit into the "Never Thought I'd Try THAT" category?[p]Bob

WudEyeDoo,
Great story! I think squid falls into the "never thought I'd try that" category. And it is one of our favorites!
Cheers!

WudEyeDoo,
It's still on my list, but Osso Bucco, slow simmered in my dutch oven over the coals, is soon to be a reality. Just placed a special order with a local butcher for 4 - 3 inch thick veal shanks, due next Friday. [p]Anybody here ever been to Ferraro's on West Flamingo in Las Vegas? I finagled the recipe from what I consider to be the finest Italian restaraunt that I have ever been to.

WudEyeDoo,[p] How about sweet potato pie, smoked habañero peppers, grilled mango/pineapple/banana/strawberry kabobs, and focaccia?[p]MikeO

WudEyeDoo, Probably the two items I've done on the Egg that fall into the 'NTI'dTT' category are both courtesy of my buddy reg: smoked olives and smoked deviled eggs! In fact, that reminds me; I have some smoked kalamatas in the fridge, and a handful of those would see me through to dinnertime just nicely!

WudEyeDoo, Spin's pizza on a bet. I probably owe somebody a 1.5 liter of Makers Mark or a case of their favorite adult beverage. Turned out great.[p]CWM

WudEyeDoo,[p]This might sound pretty strange, but Spam. (Yes, I confess. I'm one of the few people in America who LIKE Spam.) It started with a conversation I had with a co-worker of my wife's who commented that she had had barbecued Spam one weekend. I thought she was joking, but after 15 minutes of "get real" she convinced me she was serious. Just happened to have half a loaf in the frig and decided to try it. Believe it or not, the texture of Spam gets better on the grill and it tastes unlike the usual Spam taste. I don't do it often, but I have done it more than once, sigh.....

WudEyeDoo,[p]Well, I haven't done this *yet*, but in the next couple of days I've got a few cups of specialty grains going in the egg.[p]These are the grains you add to home-brewed beer to give it your own unique character.[p]I'm expecting that a short bath in some cherry smoke on the Egg will give my Holiday porter a *unique* character indeed![p]As NB The Wise sez:
Beers!
