Hunting Cabin Cuisine

[Phillygirl]

Help please. I have to make a meal to send up to a hunting cabin. I'm going to make crab chowder. But I'm thinking they're going to want something else to go with it. Thoughts? No salads, nothing seemingly healthy, and nothing that requires more preparation other than heat and it.

You're going to feed people at a hunting cabin soup? :eek::D

I would like a hearty dark bread with it. That with a basic tossed salad.

What's in the soup, I mean besides crab.

Its probably cold, send them a pot of chile!

It's a basic crab chowder...crab, potatoes, corn, some veggies with brandy as a deglazer and heavy cream at the end.

I offered chili or beef stew, but as men apparently don't coordinate menus for the week, I was told someone else would probably bring that and the crab chowder was suggested.

If I send salad it will most likely get thrown in the trash. This is the kind of group that brings bags of candy and tastykakes, throws them all on the table when they arrive, and they basically glom on it the whole time.

Marshmallows are a big hit, as apparently the bears like them.

Or if you make a meatloaf, you can send meatloaf sandwiches. Filling!

Again, possibility of double batches there. (Why won't men just ask each other what they're bringing???)

Plus, he really likes the crab chowder and asked for it. Otherwise I'd do lasagna or just make some scalloped potatoes and send him up with some steaks.

Meatloaf sandwiches would be good (not for me, I don't like the stuff)...but I need something to go with the crab chowder, not instead of it!! :D

Might be a silly suggestion but why not eat what they hunt & kill ? Are they hunting for a Grocery store or fish mkt or what :p

It's got taters in it so it will be good. It actually sounds great.

I stick with the recommendation of the bread but a hearty side dish would go really well with that soup. What do you like to make?

Man, grilled cheese sandwiches on regular bread would be great with that.

Because most of them suck at the hunting and killing part! It's mostly let's play hooky from work and home, get drunk, and talk about the good old days. You know, middle aged guy stuff! :D
