Opening up the feedbag
Feeding Ted Washington is no easy task, so we asked you to come up with your best idea for a meal if you had the chance to cook for him. Your responses contained some delicious sounding meals and we're starving, so without further ado here are today's specials.
The big guy would probably be hungry for more after John from Malden cooks him a hot dog in the microwave. Perhaps he'd like to be wined and dined by Charity from Marshfield, who would take him to La Familia Giorgio's in the North End on Salem Street to see if he could accomplish the feat of "I ate the Plate"!
Sounds filling, but not as filling as Peter from Foxborough's plan, the barbarian special: My meal doesn't require cooking. I'd go to the cattle range, pick out the biggest bull there, rip off the horns and say to Ted, "here you go!"
Tony Soprano from New Jersey apparently read this message board and said, "I think it is time for him to seriously consider salads."
Beantown C of Boston said he'd feed Mr. Washington a bowl of Wheaties, because he's going to be on the box anyhow. We hope so too, though he may need a second bowl.
Another suggestion, offered by Dave from Scituate, was to starve the guy for a day, then tell him there's a cheeseburger inside the football. Not a bad idea, and we're sure there will be plenty of footballs on hand at the Super Bowl.
Several of you suggested panther meat, but we'd rather not offend the animal activists. In fact most of your entries involved meat, and a lot of it with perhaps some cheese on the side and ice cream for dessert.
Our favorite (and winning) entry was submitted by John from Litchfield, NH who would recommend a large portion of Chicken Del'homme, smothered in (Julius) peppers, and served over Carolina rice. Beverages would include (Rodney) Peete's Wicked Ale and (DeShaun) Foster's lager. A Granny (Steve) Smith apple will be served for dessert. All in all, a Super meal!
