Food-verb events

[racheld]

Pancake Breakfasts were a staple of growing up in my church. To this day if I smell cheap syrup I have to fight the urge to genuflect.

That's funny, and I'm Baptist.

Around here they have pitchfork barbecues. I don't think the Rocky Mountain Oyster Testicle Festival has a verb in it, but should be worth mentioning anyway.

My college fraternity, Theta Chi, used to do an annual party called Ox Roast, featuring copious roast beef (and of course beer).

There are lots of Cioppino feeds here in the SF Bay Area.

Where I grew up in the Catskills of New York State, "Cornell-style" chicken bbq's were the main culinary political fundraisers before elections.

Here in Beijing, we have a verb-food event (due to the linguistic differences) : 包饺子 - but this reverses into English as 'Jiaozi (Dumpling) Wrap' so it can be shoehorned into the pattern 

Just a few simple steps:

Make dough

Make filling

Roll out dough......

Wrap Jiaozi dumplings

Boil jiaozi

Eat them and drink beer until you fall over/die of surfeit/ pass-out.

Hurrah!

We do this here in the States! What a way to spend a Saturday.

Growing up in Iowa we'd have a hog roast....

Some farmer would drive his pickup trailing with a 2 barrel long hog roaster onto our yard, it would roast all day and at night, everyone would come over, each with their "covered dish" and a 12 pack of cheap beer.

The smell of it would drive you crazy all day long.

Now that I think about it, a cream tea is a food-verb affair. "Tea" in the merry old UK is a meal, you have tea in the same way you have breakfast and dinner. And cream, is, of course, clotted cream. Which must be had with scones nd jam. So, I give you cream tea, with some allowances for the differeces between Britspeak and USpeak.

Thank you for introducing all of us to a new term. Strictly speaking, though, Prince William might tee off near his alma mater, but Queen Elizabeth II does not tea with corgis curled up at her feet. Edited January 17, 2008 by Pontormo (log)

What's Eton him?

In Gloucestershire they have the "cheese rolling " which is clearly a community food-verb event, but doesn't necessarily involve eating anything, it's more of a dangerous sport involving large cheeses. Drinking ale and cider may come into it though.

In Virginia, we have Shad Planking.

The Bean Feed.

Does it exist in real life, or only on the News from Lake Woebegone?

You mean the Lake Woebegone News isn't real? I'm shocked
