Jamaica Jam

in EggHead Forum
Was having lunch with @pigfisher some months ago and he had an idea for a Jamaican themed potluck. Original date was the weekend Hurricane Harvey slammed us , so we had other things to worry about. Decided to do it today, with some of the usual suspects attending - @20stone, @20stonespice, @pigfisher, @The Cen-Tex Smoker and tfj, my sis and BIL. My sis has been to Salado before, so she kinda knows the egghead fever, but my BIL was uninitiated.

On the menu-
Coconut rice and beans ( 20stonespice)
Beef patties (20stone)
Jerk pulled pork (pigfisher)
Jerk chicken and coco bread ( yours truly)
Mango and peach sangria, jicama slaw, and rum cake (my sis... Yes, I put her to work)

Pics to follow.

    Pictures, dammit!

    I want to relive the massive amount of great grub we devoured.  TFJ and sis jumped in and helped assemble the beef patty, and @20stonespice made gravy out of the reisual beef patty drippings.  Also, @Goatrude made an encore performance in stew form, thanks to @caliking.

    Pulled pork on the coco bread, Goatrude on the coconut rice and beans, a jerk chicken drumstick, and grave on the beef patty made some great bites. 
    (now only 16 stone)

    Gasser by the community pool (currently unavailable)
    Scale (which one of my friends refuses to use)
    Friends with BGEs and myriad other fired devices (currently unavail IRL)
    Occasional access to a KBQ and Webber Kettle
    Charcuterie and sourdough enthusiast
    Prosciuttos in an undisclosed location

    Everyone else did other stuff. I did not. I ate. It was glorious.

    Since @caliking decided post a stub with no art, here is a pic of the table o’ food. Not the best pic, but better than the vacuum that @caliking left



    It it is also worth noting, @pigfisher made three sauces that were all awesome.

    You folks are so demanding.



     @pigfisher 's jerk pulled pork. With BIG forks. The sauces he made were farkin good, especially the mustard one. Which I didn't even get to taste until the end. Poor planning on my part. This was stuffed into the sourdough coco bread.

    Jerk chicken on my lil drum running hot.


    Much thanks to @JohnInCarolina for the recipe which was tweaked just a tad. A riff on his very awesome jerk wings from BC4 a couple of weeks back.

     All this was fuelled by excellent rum (courtesy of @20stone ) that my BIL is currently sleeping off.

    Also, a shout out to @Eggcelsior.  I went to school on his empanada process, and benefitted when banging out the beef patty.

    We should just hire him to fly around and make empanadas. I showed pics of his empanadas on the TV tonight and my guests were drooling. And that was after they had eaten pit beef I shamelessly stole from him.

    @Hawg Fan & @R2Egg2Q we've done a couple of these themed pot-lucks, and each one has been a blast. Learned how to make some new dishes, plus got to eat other folks' food!
