Take-out Tuesday, BBQ Sundae, with Sunday Potatoes

the Painted Apron

8 years ago

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

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.

This is a sundae not made with ice cream and chocolate sauce, but with leftovers and Sunday Potatoes {recipe below}

BBQ pork, sauce, macaroni, pickles, grated cheese, potatoes and a tomato topper

You can set out different foods to make a “Sundae Bar” and let diners make their own creations 🎨

It’s a fun presentation

And a great way to jazz up your leftovers

You can provide a plate for easier eating 🍴

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…

Endless possibilities here, and a fun party/buffet idea-
