Good Eats for a Great Game.
When having friends over for Cards it is always nice to have some food out. Chances are if your poker game is anything like mine it can run into the early morning hours, especially if people are drinking. So having food out is just the right thing to do. But certain foods are better for a poker or Blackjack game then others. Some people will say finger foods are best, but are all finger foods good.
It is my believe that at a poker game or any type of card game or even playing online. I also believe that nothing can ruin a poker game faster then messy food. When a player has to get up to go wash his hands because they have stuff all over them the other players will get annoyed. This is also true if the host of the game has to keep leaving the room to prepare the foods. Certain finger foods are better then others. Lots of people like to eat Buffalo wings, I know I do but not at a poker game.
The sauce from Buffalo wings will get all over the cards and ruin them, the cards will get sticky and it can also be used to mark the cards.
From time to time I will post a new Recipe. My recipes are excellent for poker or other card games, because they are not messy and usually self contained. This way there is no mess as little grease as possible so nothing can ruin your cards or your poker game.
All of the Recipes that will be listed in this section are Simple and quick to make.
