Side dish recipes for a barbeque needed!

BBQ I am assuming ribs, brisket, etc.

If so, Mac and Cheese, Baked Beans, a salad, corn on the cob, coleslaw, watermelon, fried okra, corn salsa, and banana pudding for dessert.

What adults do not like vegetables?

Cornbread - people LOVE cornbread (also make a honey butter).

Potato salad - make sure to include bacon

Tomato and feta salad

7 layer dip - you can make it as healthy or unhealthy as you want.

@r2, The ones who die young of congestive heart failure

Homemade pickles- make the refrigerator kind if you cannot can. Sweet and dill/other vegetables.

I should have added that you can completely control the salt. Pickled things do not have to be overly salted.

Was just introduced to Memphis Corn Pudding through DL. Recommended and would be a middle ground between you and the other guests

Why don't you take wine or champagne or something, like a normal person?

Just steam some fresh ears of corn, lots of butter on the side for those who want it.

Totally didn't know Patti LaBelle was known for Mac and Cheese.

r8 Well, I would, but they don't drink, either. Perhaps, that's what make them fussy.

r10 The best heart attack food there is.

Bess Truman’s cheese and macaroni.

A big bowl of some kind of slaw, not the mayo kind, but a vinegary mixture. Crunchy sliced veg.

Hey Op, I've tried this recipe several times for veggie outings. If they like it with meat, they can stick a rib in it.

Just find a good, local BBQ place that has a catering option. Any reputable place, especially since Covid, has meals for 10 or more. Hit up a nice grocery store with prepared sides to supplement if needed. It's a vacation, right? Don't stress.

I agree with the 7-layer dip. Without lettuce, it will last a few days.

Stop being cheap and just cater the whole thing.

Now you just know what we recommend!

Homemade pickles R5 is a FANTASTIC idea for people who don't like "veggies and salads". 🤡👎

R20 most people I know who don't like veggies love pickles. just saying

Patti LaBelle's potato salad...make it total Patti! Also a 7Up cak for dessert.

That's revolting, R17, and the thought of it a few days on...

Why does it look like a child's Crayon drawing of imagined food?

I'll never understand people who volunteer to make and being all sorts of food on a vacation...and then always seem to regret what they volunteered to do.

I suppose they are people seduced by the glamor if the Tupperware lifestyle.

Since they don't drink, do a big grocery run and load up the refrigerator and kitchen with the drinks and snacks they told you they like, and some bowls if fresh fruit and simple luxuries: nuts, good coffee, bagels, cream cheese, butter, smoked salmon, cheese straws. Go out early one morning and raid a bakery for breakfast: bacon, eggs, pastry, coffee, orange juice.

You don't have to spend a fortune but they did invite you as guests for a week, so if you don't want to treat the house full of people to a dinner at a good restaurant, load up their kitchen and take everyone to the best local place for breakfast or lunch.

I would do that 100x before ska ing away in the kitchen preparing BBQ sides and transporting them and cleaning out the containers and fuck all. It's a vacation.

Collard Greens!

Once again, fantastic suggestion: of "bowls of fresh fruit" and "good coffee", smoked salmon and cheese straws for the fussy eating proletariat family. 🙄😵‍💫

And don't forget the crudité platter and the arugula pesto! Fussy kids love arugula.

At Taylor and Monte’s age, and with their dispositions, I’m beginning to think this showmance might survive the show…

Toss their salads.

Broccoli salad is always welcome, especially for the non-meat eaters.

^^^ except for the bacon part

Why me of course, i am the sweetest little thing evah to hit this planet.

^^^ Megan is that you?

[quote] My cousins just rented a huge home in Tampa for a week and invited me and my partner.

[quote] They are very fussy,

[quote] They don't care much for veggies and salads, but I need something healthy for me and my partner.

Ghost them. Ghost them NOW! Once they feel welcomed, they might stay around and even buy or property near you, and you'll never be rid of them!

Fuck ... they might stay around and even buy or RENT property near you, ...

"BBQ Beans": several kinds of canned beans, bacon, ground beef, various spices and seasonings, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar.

Have seen several incarnations of a bacon, sweet corn, cream and cheese dish, all cooked on top of the stove in a cast iron skillet. Chef John over at FoodWishes™ has a good recipe, it's called "Ba'Corn"(IIRC?)

A pot of green beans cooked with bacon, onion and chunked or whole small potatoes is easy and delicious. Just like meemaw used to make.

^^^ Thank you Bronze Boy! I knew you would have good suggestions.

Roasted potatoes. Either wedges or little quarters. Air fried or baked. No deep frying necessary.

One week sounds like a long time to spend with fussy eaters who don't eat vegetables.

[quote] meat from a local restaurant and to make homemade sides. I was thinking Patti LaBelle's mac & cheese and some vegetarian baked beans, but I need more.

This seems like more than enough food for people who don't eat vegetables.

This pie is great for a bbq, or anything really. Crust is fantastic.

So when you say fussy you mean they have babytastes?
