Take-out Tuesday, BBQ Sundae, with Sunday Potatoes

Celebrate March 1 with a Sundae!    🍨  A BBQ Sundae that is!

BBQ Sundae 3

There are many legends about the origin of the ice cream sundae, one being that it was created by the popular fountain treat, the ice cream soda,  which is made with soda topped with ice cream

In one establishment it was a treat served only on Sundays.  The spelling of Sunday was changed so as not to offend the religious meaning of Sunday, and because it was so popular it was eventually served everyday.

I didn’t have any cooked veggies on hand, but sauteed spinach or kale, broccoli or green beans would be a great addition to this sundae…
