Can We Custom Create an ELECTION DAY Menu Tradition?

[GlorifiedRice]

Hey Folks...

 

We need a menu for Election Day. Lets start some traditions...

 

Like my TAX DAY MENU is No Frills Mac and Cheese and Baloney Samiches on Wonder Bread and Canned Green Beans.

 

What are some creative food ideas for Election Day?

 

Some kinda green slime dessert and Huge Gummi Rats?

 

Fried Snake Kabobs?

 

Try not to be partisan here.

In one of my cookbooks--a newer one--there is a whole section on election day dishes.  In a lot of my older ones they include chapters like that, too.  Slow-cooker and casserole type dishes mostly so that the ladies that help at the polling sites can come home and have dinner done.  

 

I think one of those meatloaf dishes that is baked to look like a cake--you know, frosted with mashed 'taters?  Because with politicians you think you're getting one thing, and you usually end up getting another lol.

Well here in Iowa Joni Ernst would be happy to supply all the hog balls one could want.  How about humble pie for dessert after eating crow as a main dish?

[gulfporter]

Right Wing Nut Bars??

[Arey]

Starey gaze pie after overexposure to a glut of tv political ads, robocalls, and political mailings.

Still thinking about the main course, but I'd include brioche, as in the comment attributed to Marie Antoinette, "qu'ils mangent de la brioche" (let them eat cake, a rough translation) to the hungry masses who could not afford bread.  We know how well that went over.

 

Actually, there's a tradition around here of having school bake sales near polling stations (indeed there's an election day kerfuffle in RI to reinstate them, they've been banned as a felony), So in my house, dessert would come from an election day bake sale.

I think I hunt down a source for donkey meat but the elephant is going to be a bit trickier...

Hehum,   I need  a rose, a cornflower,  a dandelion, a liverwort blossom,  a red carnation , a wood anemone and four leafed clover.  Stir into a  big pot  , add a blue M and  wait a bit, if you want to you can sprinkle a touch   cloud berry blossom , a hammer , a sickle, a cog, a yellow flower, a sunflower and a little bit of different brightly coloured letters and  a nuclear power plant and you have the soup called Swedish politics.

 

Oh for the added  arrr flavour, a pirate flag... I nearly forgot that party..

[Martin Fisher]

Baloney sandwich says it all!

[MelissaH]

Waffles.

[rotuts]

lots of liquor, lots.  hard liquor.

 

best if you can find some w/o a tax stamp.

[gfweb]

Bleeding heart liberal confit?

[Lisa Shock]

lots of liquor, lots.  hard liquor.

That's the traditional American fare on election day...

Probably be several servings of impeach cobbler.

[gfweb]

Weasel pot pie

[Deryn]

According to someone high up in the 'bank', if you vote (and presumably vote correctly), then you are entitled to a celebration dinner of fried chicken.

[IowaDee]

I don't think many people care about most of the meal just as  long as they get their "just desserts."

[rotuts]

"""  "just desserts." """

 

unfortunately  this will never happen

 

as these 'Election-aros'  control their own Grid and are not subject to several Doz. laws that we are

 

Why not ? they control the Laws Themselves

 

so 

 

hard liquor is the only hope for us

 

are only Gain is finding some w/o the tax stamp

 

or making our own.
