Most Interesting / Oddest Food Ever Seen Tailgating?

[Bowfin]

Time for some lightweight, noncontroversial posting:

What one food item have you seen someone have while tailgating that sticks out in your mind as memorable? Not limited to a Nebraska game, and you can go either way on this, from mouth watering to gagging.

oh, i will make this controversial.

i once saw someone making foie gras.

This hot coleslaw thing, prepared on a giant propane wok before a LSU baseball game. It was amazing, yet odd

sd'sker, when I say "football" I mean "American football", not soccer.

fair enough. i have never really seen anything that interesting being made at a tailgate, but i have not been to many tailgates.

So what was the "yummiest" thing you ever saw, sd'sker?

I'm more of a sausage/bratwurst type of guy than steak or burgers for grill type eating.

Fried possum at the NU-SoMiss game down in Hattiesburg. Looked and tasted like sh#t.

This hot coleslaw thing,

I'd have to try it, because you never know until you taste it. Besides, life is too short to say "No thanks" to an opportunity to try things that don't look inherently fatal.

Are you speaking from experience here? lol (Sorry I couldn't resist!)

Do drinks count? Because I love me some Elk Creek, and the people I tailgate with know it all too well.

Other than that, the most memorable thing I've had at a Husker tailgate was chili & cinnamon rolls, a Nebraska tradition, a combination found in very few places outside Nebraska.

if we are doing drinks, the most memorable thing i have had was four loko, the real stuff.

also, i thought chili and cinnamon rolls were really weird until my wife introduced me to it. i guess i was sheltered.

Elk Creeks are awesome. My wife's family is from the Tecumseh area right around Elk Creek and we enjoy those regularly.
