You're better off with a nice risotto...

 

[NowInStorrs]

I personally would go with some Cajun/dirty rice with some sausage in there

spending 20 minutes fussing over adding hot stock to rice is not the way to tailgate.

Make some arancini night before and reheat in foil.

Plus is, you can stick leftovers in your jacket pockets and snack during the game, or throw them at the Rice bench.

I would like a little rice pudding. You can serve it hot or cold.

So you want to put that sausage into a dirty rice dish? I'm also thinking deep fried rice crispy treats! But that's just me!

Perfect week for Fried Rice on the Blackstone.

You had me at arancini!!!

I'm just glad y'all aren't a couscous crowd.

I didn't even start the tailgating menu thread & you guys already hijacked it?

Thoughts that I sent out to my tailgate crew:
-Wings
-Texas Chili
-Spanish Rice
-Rice Pudding
-Rice Pilaf
-Strip Steak Grinders with Peppers & Onions
-Rice Krispy Treats
-Saki (Rice Wine)

Budweiser, rice is one of its 6 ingredients

Real men do not eat couscous unless forced down their throats by their significant other.

They have a bad habit of going down the wrong pipe.

Rice-a-Roni if its still around?

 

[Waquoit]

I went to Cap's tailgate last week. If you ever make it to one, ask for the Husky Hooch. It's not on the menu. Thank me later.

 

[CTlifer]

So far part of our tailgating menu on Saturday is BBQ Pulled Pork Rice Bowls and Rice Krispie Treats

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Nobody with owl on their menu?

 

[Forte]

Not one group going with Paella?

The King of Beers.

 

[RioDog]

Remember- With a good ricer anything can become rice... ANYTHING.

 

[Kolumbo]

I'm going with my FAU suggestion. I mean, 3 hooters games in one season can't be a coincidence
Burritos would be good but kind of heavy for a tailgate. Hooters does offer a Sausage & Shrimp Gumbo

So I'm cooking for the largest group I've ever done (11), which means the menu has to be carefully simplified so my one Coleman Road Trip can handle everything. First course will be Texican -- tortilla chips with guac and chicken and cheese quesadillas. Entree will be burgers, a potato salad and tomato stacks (slices, of tomatoes, mozzarella, onion and basil). Hopefully I am organized enough to pull this off. Because if not, who wants to watch a football game with disappointed lawyers!

Best part of it is biggest group you have had. Maybe a sign of good things. The food sounds good too.

Let's hope for a win so that you can bring in 11 more converts to the cult that is Connecticut football. As much as I am an advocate for an on-campus stadium, football at the Rent is a blast with great tailgating and great sight lines.

Connecticut football is fun again.

At the risk of turning this into a political thread, if you haven’t tried Israeli couscous, it is nothing like the small grainy stuff and at least as versatile as rice. But there are no colleges named for it so far as I know.
