For some reason, and it's totally counterintuitive to the kind of dinner you're planning, something with sauerkraut leaps to mind. Maybe a sauerkraut salad? I've seen nice ones with shredded carrot and radishes, julienned red bell peppers, maybe some broccoli and/or cauliflower florets, dressing depending heavily on the kraut brine. This presupposes you have access to good sauerkraut.
And have you seen the sinker that Hicks kid is throwing in relief for the Cards?
