Hey JMU fans....Virginia food ideas?

[TransAmBison]

All these posts and not one from a jmu fan.

Just channel the Forest Gump scene about all the different kinds of shrimp and substitute streamers.

My group of tailgating friends usually hosts 50-100 people at a weekend home game (lots of my group have JMU students now), but we usually come up with an extremely diverse menu every weekend. Brisket and smoked pork are a couple of go to meats, but I'm not about to put my smoking skills up against some of the TX restaurants in Dallas. Country ham is definitely a VA "thing", but I don't like it so I've never served it. This year we've done a seafood gumbo, seafood jumbalaya, fried oysters, one of our biggest hits was actually fried egg rolls stuffed with leftover Thanksgiving food (a smoked turkey version, and a smoked ham version). I don't think any of that really screams VA, though. Cooked a "hossenfeffer" for the SDSU game, not a big fan of rabbit but if you really want to go "traditional" VA make a Brunswick stew with either squirrel or rabbit.

Any tips for a more tender brisket?

Dont cut it till you serve it.
Wrap it in aluminum foil and then a blanket and put it in a cooler for a couple of hours before serving.

2nd that. Works great if it's done before you're ready to eat. Also works great with a pork butt

Going to do boiled peanuts (at home) for the first time. Acquired a taste for them in Georgia. If it works out would like to start bringing to tailgate. Should go great with beer.

Blueberry is their state muffin so be sure to include those in pregame meal.
