My wife is hosting a shower next weekend and she has asked me to try and come up for some food ideas off the egg. She does not want me cooking or preparing during the shower so whatever I come up with needs to be pre-made and served cold. Microwaving is not an option since she wants no stress of any kind preparing food the day of.[p]Thanks for the help in advance. [p]Jake

    jake57,[p]Off the top of my head....smoked cheese, smoked salmon and smoked turkey breast can all be served cold. I do them with several kinds of fancy crackers. I also do a chilled glazed pork tenderloin with a plum dipping sauce & toasted sesame seeds on the side. For a non-meat item, I like asian noodles, served at room temperature.[p]All of these can be prepared a day or two ahead of time. I can hook you up with recipes if you like.[p]~thirdeye~

    Roll some sushi using pulled pork, slaw and a tad of BBQ sauce. I have been wanting to try this for an anything butt entry at a competition.

    Yo Jake, I would go with a boneless pork loin. Cook it until it hits 140º - 145ºF tops. Let rest, allow to cool and refrigerate. After the roast is chilled, slice the roast thin and serve cold. You can use what ever rub that trips your trigger.[p]Another variation of the boneless pork loin is the Canadian Bacon recipe listed on the Dizzy Pig site and linked below. Once again, slice the roast thin after it is cold and serve cold. I have had rave reviews when I have served this "ham" cold.[p]Lager,

    I would opt for a cold potato soup and garnish with cold smoked shrimp or make a cold cucumber soup with a hint of melon and garnish with cold smoked lump crabmeat.
