Eating the Enemy: USC and Thursday Night Open Thread

by yellow fever on Oct 1, 2009 4:15 PM PDT in California Golden Bears Football

Because there aren't a whole lot of recipes out there for eating dead warriors from ancient civilizations.

Trojan Horse Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 pint Guinness Stout

1/2 pint Coca-Cola

Directions

Mix ingredients in a pint glass. Serve in a beer glass.

I think we're all going to need a bunch of these to sit through tonight's Open Thread matchup of Colorado vs. West Virginia. I mean, it just doesn't seem fair. Mountaineers vs. Buffaloes? These guys are born to kill buffaloes!

Gold Out: WVU iz doin it rite

So much better of an idea than a Blue Out. It was more like a Blew Out, no wait I right the first time. Blue Out.

What I’m saying is gold stands out at night.

Trojan Horse = Great way to ruin a perfectly fine pint of Guinnes

I’m not opposed to beer cocktails in general, and I even like a Bavarian “radler” (pale “Helles” lager + 7UP) on a warm summer’s day, but a dry Irish stout and Coke? Yuk. Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in that stout, though, and then you’ve got one helluva float.

Go Bears!

Thought Radler was Helles plus lemonade? Maybe 7UP is similar enough.

My understanding is that there are a lot of variations on the theme. My experience in Munich is definitely with lemon-lime soda. I think a British shandy is more often made with a carbonated lemonade.

Saturday night’s game, though, calls for something stronger. I think I might have to treat the wife and myself to a few Golden Bears. If I remember correctly, it’s equal parts 151, SoCo, and Orange Juice, with a float of champagne? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Go Bears!

Never heard of it, but it sounds delightfully effective at getting me drunk.

I believe that in most European countries “lemonade” refers to a lemon/lime-flavored carbonated beverage – a radler or shandy is beer + any kind of soda.

CaliforniaPete, I think that the Golden Bear is what you listed, but with amaretto rather than champagne. I don’t remember any carbonation in the drink. Whatever it is, it packs a hell of a punch.

I just had a discussion with my West Virginia friend about the virtues of pepperoni rolls, and he swears they’re the best food God has ever created.

2) drink the guiness

In other words, Go Bears!

We don’t serve minors at this establishment. Keep on trying to get us into trouble and how can we not think you’re a traitor?

We seem to have ourselves a track meet.

Colorado finding that West Virginia’s defense will adapt after the 8th consecutive quick out route.
