What's your favorite side dish for smoked food?

[La Quinta]

I could actually make it now with all of the smoked cheese I brought home from the Gizmos...or...just throw a piece of cheese in the smoker here...and put a bowl under it!! Add some cream...maybe some seafood...would be quite lovely!!! :)

Thats right Giz did set you up with a bunch of smoked cheeses. How is it? Do you have a favorite yet?  ???

[La Quinta]

Gotta tell ya...the pepper jack is choice, and the horseradish cheese... is freakin awesome...Colby is killer...(not a fave of Giz) but I dig it...Geez...I tasted so many cheeses...I can't remember...one had olives and Sundried toms in it...that was great...heck...they were all to die for...truly...

Horseradish cheese is one of the favorites for the people I smoke for, the next would have to be a good sharp cheese.

Kool...thanks Giz...nice tip...got "kids" for 2 weeks coming up...on Thursday...need all the help I can get!!! They want "American" food!! :)

[pensrock]

LQ, I'm not sure what kinds of smoked chese you have but one of the most popular I make is a sharp american cheese. It is really great but when made into grilled cheese sandwiches, its the best. Kids love grilled cheese. I prefer it with a thick slice of Habs bacon in addition to the smoked cheese.

I should clarify the "kids" thing...let's see...my step daughter is 3 years older then me...as is her hubby!! But they would probably like smoked grilled cheese sandwiches anyway!! :) I know I would!!! :)

This sounds too much like West Virginia for my liking  :D :o

Just plain old taters cubed kind of small, lots of diced onions, salt, pepper and then fry until golden brown.  Onion actually gives it a sweet taste.

It sure does, Cat.  You ought throw in some fresh garlic in there as well.  It's about the only side dish at our house that the family fights over.  Course, I cook it, so I get to taste test quite a bit before the family does  :D

Isn't garlic like the oil in the pan (you don't cook without it)?

I like ranch beans, cornbread with just about everything cooked outdoors.  Grilled corn on the cob is good too.  Grilled Zucchini brushed with garlic and olive oil is also good.

No doubt, my friend, no doubt!

Smoked ranch style beans, a good slaw, rosted garlic slathered on toasted french bread, ice cold beer. ;D

Hands down. Wicked Baked Beans with pineapple and bacon.

It all sounds good!!  I would have to say my favorites are roasted baby red potatoes with lots of onions,garlic and olive oil.  Also homemade potato and egg salad.  (can you tell I am a carb freak?)  Unforuntatley I am on a diet most of the time, so I can't have it, but I make it anyway for my wife, daughter and the neighbors!  This is making me hungry.....
