dbrown1 · October 01, 2009, 07:05:27 PM

Okay so the big day approaches and I have a couple of other questions for you brisketeers ?!?

I am looking at making this one heck of a meal so the woman will get into this thus allowing me to buy more toys errr I mean tools.
So the question I pose to all of you is ...,what goes best with brisket ??
I was thinking slaw, so I copied down the Corky's recipe... what else?? Please help and if ya have recipes or links to recipes I would greatly appreciate it.
My entire smoking life could literally be hanging in the balance here :o Okay that may be a bit of a stretch but hey who doesn't want more toys right !

Them taters are great, can't go wrong. If you have eaten at Red Lobster and like their Cheddar Biscuits I made a post today in non-smoked foods. They are quick and fast and delicious. Make that meal special so you can buy more tools. CRG

Thanks guys ! this will certainly help.. I will try both of those

Oh ya... Another favorite side dish of ours is grilled fresh asparagus. I just wash and trim the asparagus, drizzle olive oil on them, sprinkle sea salt, Italian seasoning and garlic pepper on them. Throw them on a medium heat grill keeping an eye on them because they don't take too long. I like them with a little white sauce on them... Man... now I'm gettin' hungry again!

10.5's grilled asparagus in the first iron chef looked really good too. It's in this thread http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=10053.0

And I totally agree with everyone above on the Syracuse potatoes, they are awesome

Well if you go to the GREAT, old school places in Texas - there is only brisket, white onion, white sandwich bread, sauce, Dill/sour pickles, jalapenos, and sweet tea that are put on your butcher paper "plate"! Other "acceptable" accompaniments in some establishments are cheddar cheese, hot guts, pintos, and slaw. Oh and the only "proper" desert is cobbler - preferably topped with ice cream - Blue Bell is the only acceptable brand!

Me, I like corn bread, pintos, jalapenos, and slaw - and cobbler!

We like to have green bean casserole with lots of mushrooms, jalapeno corn bread and mashed taters with gravy. Save all of the drippings and some of the potato water to make your gravy.

Man so many great ideas, maybe I'll just do all of them ;D

There is an old saying; "if you want to confuse some one, give him choices".

I am with you dbrown1, do them all. I could not take a decision with such a variety.

hot guts

Hey Caneyscud - what are hot guts?

Caneyscud · October 03, 2009, 02:39:14 PM

Hot Guts are what they call smoked spicy sausage in the heart of BBQ country in Texas - especially in the Elgin area. It's a staple at the joints in the area. Its spicy not because of heat, but most have a number of different spices in the recipe. Tasty, tasty, tasty! Usually beef with some pork included, and the stuffed in natural casings, when they are cooked RIGHT, the skin literally bursts as you bite into it.
