Okay, for me foods really connect the seasons so with that said, its not really summer until I have made either a blueberry or rhubarb pie - YUM! :p
(And noooo its not really summer ALL THE TIME in Florida... we do actually have seasons here too ha ha)
What's your must-have summer culinary connection, hmmmm? :cool:

Trout
And steaks

Champaigne,oysters,and a vintage bottle of wine,with cool sea breezes,lapping onto shore... aghhhh... nice... :D

Welll it's got to be a large jug of Pimm's (http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/pimms-no-1-cup_index.html) with all the trimmings ;)

Watermelon!! Oranges!! And a lot of margaritas... and off the subject a lot of the beach! :p

Steaks and the BBQ - 'nuff said. :)

I agree with Philly - though I BBQ in the dead of winter (shovel path to BBQ on the deck) summer is the season to do it with a beer or glass of wine in hand.

Strawberries, cucumber salad, of course my pepsi. Maybe I should have a pepsi can as an avatar. LOL

I am surprised someone hasn't said lemonade or at least a lemon shandy... and by the way, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to all my fellow patriots! And for the rest of you ermmm, well HAPPY TUESDAY? :rolleyes:

Aha, lemonade with some raspberries, yummie!!

Sorry to be a bit boring but for me Summer hasn't arrived until we get our first English crop of NEW SPUDS!! ( Bugger the cholesterol - Pass the salty butter! ) :D

I won't buy the Egyptian and Majorcan ones these days - I prefer to hang on for our own and get that first hit. ( Mind you - I am in Lincolnshire where the best spuds grow )

BAR-B-QUE and baked beans--The food of the Gods for all seasons!

Run out of rep power, dang

Jonegy: WELL summer hurry it up! Mashed or baked or??

Oh my my Talaniman: I can't look at beans without thinking of the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles hahahahahahaha

You got the wrong spuds Val ;)

These are little baby ones where the skins just about drop off on their own when rubbed under running water - boiled or steamed.

Have them hot with fresh lamb and mint sauce and butter.

Cold with salads - or deep fried.

I think we're spoiled these days with foods being grown all over the world - but these last few years I've noticed that if I don't bother with the imported ones - that flavour from the locally grown (probably less than 24 hours out of the ground) takes me straight back to childhood.

BBQ with roasted asparagus, and roasted red potatoes. Fresh strawberries and rasberries for shortcakes. UMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I like ripe, juicy peaches, raspberry lemonade, cold pasta salad with peppers, olives and the like, oh.. and a rare steak.

Good eating.. best to all.

Russian finger potatoes rolled in garlic olive oil & lightly salted cooked on the grill... I am truly ready for another BBQ and it is only the day after the 4th.
Hanging onto the anticipation of corn on the cob and watermelon. Goodness
