Question:

Recipe suggestions, knowing our guests will from there go on to other gatherings of huge feasts?

— Kris Erickson

Answer:

Well, that's awesome. So kind of going back to my answer for the the previous question on the appetizer. So Seafood is a really great way to start off a day. I love Seafood breakfast. And it's also different than what they are going to be eating later in the day. Right? I mean, it's almost an entirely different just ingredient category that they're likely not to see. Whether that's a smoked salmon Benedict go ahead make your own Hollandaise sauce. It's it's fun or serve it in a non-traditional way make a salsa there today, which I didn't end up making today, but it's also Verde is chopped up parsley chopped up cilantro chopped up mint mixed with a little bit of vinegar and small oil. You can throw in Capers and garlic and whatever else and chili flakes if you want to. that makes it a little more sort of pungent and maybe takes it out of the sort of the breakfast realm but it's also Verde instead of a Hollandaise sauce over top of perfectly poached egg with you know, smoked salmon underneath and salad on the side that green nice potency is a really great way to go and easier than hollandaise and lighter so that would be one quiche is of course another one. I mean, they're gonna get a lot of pie later on in the day. So maybe starting off with egg pie isn't isn't the way to do that, but Let's see. What another one, babe. Yeah, you could even you can something completely non-traditional would be to go with like a poke Bowl. So some brown rice some avocados some thin sliced tomato, cherry tomatoes or something that you can still get sweet this time of year a bunch of fresh herbs, like cilantro leaves mint leaves and parsley leaves sort of in there brown rice and then some cubed up Rod beautiful tuna or some beautiful salmon or something like that marinated with just a little bit of vinegar some soy sauce something like that that I mean, that would be really kind of fun and different. Way to do it and though it might not be part of the traditional tradition. Bottom line is this is what an American tradition right in America is beautiful for its diversity and the abundance of different flavors and textures and experiences and all that all of us and all of our ingredients bring to the table. So kind of maybe a fun way to to give a nod to all of our neighbors who we chair so dearly but maybe don't look or cook like us so Anyway a couple of ideas there.
