Default Boston Foods?

World Series Party at my house Sunday night!!!!!

Menu needs to be stereotypical Boston foods.
Or baseball foods.

Cardinals fans not welcome at my house! :-)
Neither are Baby Ruth candy bars right now. Why take chances and possibly
**** off the Ghosts???? LOL


So far I have planned the following:

-Boston Baked Beans from Fanny Farmer's cookbook (the recipe is virtually
the same as Durgin Park's, except the quantity is more manageable)

-Grilled Hot dogs on New England style, split-top buns with all the
trimmings.

-Peanuts and Cracker Jack to munch on during the game
(along with veggies, chips and dips)

-homemade (vinegar based) cole slaw (which isn't particularly Bostonian nor
is it particularly baseball-ian, but it goes nicely with hot dogs and
beans!) Recipe from 2nd Ave Deli. (it's been posted here before)

-Dessert will be Brigham's "Reverse the curse" ice cream, if I can find it.
According to the Brigham's website, one of my local supermarkets carries it.
I don't even care what actual flavor "Reverse the curse" is, it's a symbolic
thing!!!!! Perhaps some Boston Cream Pie if I can't find that particular
flavor.

Sam Adams beer. I am particularly fond of their Octoberfest. Will probably
offer the Light, the Boston Ale and the Octoberfest. I'll see what I can get
at the packy.

What else am I missing?
I'm thinking about other appetizers, food that is simple to eat either out
of hand or without cutting, but have a Boston or baseball "ring" to them.

Any other ideas?

Sheryl, it sounds like you've got it pretty well covered. However, not
dogs notwithstanding, I'd also have Boston Brown Bread with the beans.

I'd have both, but then, I can never get enough dessert! :-)

I like their Octoberfest.

Plain popcorn would be out of line, either.

Serve the cole slaw on leaves of Boston lettuce.

There is such a dessert as Sock-It-To-Me Cake. You can easily make it
a Red Sock It To Me Cake. )

Your party sounds like a lot of fun. Let's Go, Red Sox!!!!!!!!

Ferget the dawgs. Boston Butt, smoked to perfection and served as pulled pork.
Goes great with that vinegar slaw

Shelled Peanuts?
Shelled Sunflower Seeds?
Both of those go with watching BaseBall.

I don't think so.... onliest peanuts I've ever seen at baseball games are IN
shell... and never noticed anyone with sunflower seeds, shelled or in shell.

That said, watching baseball at home foods are far different from ballpark
foods.

Only if you serve them with the same attitude as DP's waitresses! Oh, and
how about some Boston brown bread?

That would be the "Submarine" sandwich.... could be hot (meatball, saw-seege n'
peppers/onions, veal parm, etc.) but more common are with coldcuts; most famous
contains mustard n' mayo, slicing pepperoni, genoa salami, ham, provolone,
lettuce, tomato, hot cherry peppers or pepperocini, olive oil n' vinegar, and
gots to have lottsa sliced raw red onions.

Oh yeah.....Nachos are served at ballparks!
I've been to 3 major league ballparks this year alone to see the Mets, Red
Sox and Phillies, and there were those "pseudo nachos" at all 3. Yankee
stadium, too, as I recall, it's been 3 years though since I was there, so
that may have changed.

And all the minor league parks I've ever been to serve them. (3 different
parks this season alone, 5 others over the years) Corn chips w/cheez glop
is a staple ballpark snack. Notice I didn't say "food". I am going for
ballpark ambiance, but even my non-foody-baseball-loving friends draw the
line at fake cheeze! I have never been to a professional sporting event,
major or minor league, in fact, that did not serve some sort of chips and
cheeze glop and call it nachos.

If I do make nachos, it will be with monterey jack and sharp cheddar. Might
just have to settle for chips and salsa. Or Cool ranch Doritoes! (My
personal weakness)

You must not go to many US ballparks. I've certainly seen that horrible
concoction
mistakenly labeled "nachos" in several parks.

Nachos, pizza, hamburgers, sausages, BBQ sandwiches and ribs, kettle corn
are all available at most big league ballparks. Here in Seattle you can add
fish & chips, sushi and other oriental foods to that list. I've never been
to Fenway (I want to go) so I don't know what regional items might be sold
at the concessions stands there.

Not baseball, but Boston foods would include a good chowder and baked scrod.

LOL!! Hey, who thought Boston would take the Yankees 3-0 in Yankee
Stadium? It happened. Maybe the Sox will beat the Cardinals, too.
It could happen. :-)
