Don't know what Bott Boi is? It's Pennsylvania Dutch for "pot pie". As you prepare for the Thursday Vice Presidential debate, think about cooking something from Biden's "birth" state - Pennsylvania -- recipe here . Also Baked Alaska for Palin (see recipe below) -- and for McCain in the next debate, perhaps Flounder??
Last week I posted a Diary called Food for Debate Watch Parties I described a fantastic dinner we had for Obama's nomination acceptance speech in Denver. We asked our guests to bring food from the many places Obama had lived or had ties to -- Boston, Chicago, Kansas, Hawaii, Indonesia, Kenya -- and it was a feast!
So for the Biden debate watch party, we decided we would follow this trend and cook or ask others to cook food from Biden's state of birth, Pennsylvania. (If anyone knows of distinctive food from Delaware, let us know, but we didn't assume there was much to research!!). In addition to the Bott Boi (pot pie), we have a whole bunch of great menu ideas, like !BAKED ALASKA!
What are yours? Folks, this debate is going to be painful to watch -- no matter what happens. We need sustenance and comfort food
Add your recipe ideas in the comments section -- this has got to be tolerable!
