New yrs eve/ole yrs night menu

[saltwater]

I am looking for ideas. No curry and no Sunday menu. All ideas are welcome. Having said that is pelau, jerk chicken and colesalw a Sunday menu. It sounding rather ordinary even tho is not ordinary for me. I made this combination only once and it was great.

[saltwater]

I found the main dish. Now I hv to find the side dishes.

that good right there saltwater, no need for nothing fancy....New Years ent about the food so much as the company and drinks. Well, here at least.

[saltwater]

Thks straps, I looking for side dishes to go w that pork. Default hordoves will be olives and cheese, grapes and wine. (easy availabitlity nah)
Falcon, I guess I should be grateful you didnt make a call for curry. Anyway, I need a fancy menu cuz is the only kind of menu does motivate me into planning, but I hv the kind of fam that does end up derailing my menu and resorting to their level of curry comfort..what dat mean is curry duck, dhalpurie and channa and alloo...And they does come prepared with everthing and cook it for themselves to (they hv a sickening obsession with dreailing my menu).
I need suggestions fast before they take over.

[saltwater]

Where is GuyGuy and Sapodilla when you need them

[Falcon]

saltwater, you know yuh family better than me, but they sound as if the more mamby pamby your menu is, the faster them will lick up dat duck and aloo.........connect up the empty lpg tank, see if they will get far wid dey duck and dhalpourie.

btw, I made dhalpourie this evenin.............

[saltwater]

that was not a suggestion, I need nice elegant goumet suggestions to go with my main course.
And tobesides curry is ah normal meal. New yrs requires a special menu. You tink you get it chimp.

[Falcon]

yuh family want roti and curry
yuh cant have no idea past pelau and cole slaw

take the hint saltwater, yuh ent 'high brow' buh yuh fighting it rofl

[saltwater]

I taking the hint long time, is just I cyah give up my fight. I intend to move my curry fam into the beautiful world of diff spices. There is a wonderful world beyond curry, galic and bhandanyia.
So man up and give me some good suggestions for my pork dish.

[saltwater]

[straphanger]

saltwater, what about grilling some asparagus and mushrooms, some salt, EVOO and freshly ground black pepper go a long way

and potatoes as well- probably the red bliss potatoes, seasoned and baked?
