[deguerre]

That has got to be the absolute worst plating I've ever done. It tasted good though...:crazy:

[bluetang]

Well, I've finally got it boiled down to 8.

[Redhot]

Yeah...it was pretty bad looking, I had to beg him to even enter it. See he waited until Sunday night before attempting to do anything. Was one of those funky weekends when we didn't want to do anything but lay around and watch TV. It did taste good though, he'll have to do a cook thread after I show him how to use photobucket.

[zydecopaws]

Hey, where'd my thanks button go? :tsk: I'm gonna have to think about this one for awhile. There are too many good choices to narrow it down quickly, and then there is that darn historical recreation sighting...

[Alan in Ga]

Another hard one gonna have to think on this one Great job guys and gal

[Groundhog66]

I know which one I choose if it is based on pure visual stimulation, but I like to imagine how they tasted as well.....Hmmmmmm


Actually, after looking at them all again.....I HAVE NO IDEA, great job everyone.

[BigButzBBQ]

I got a vote! :whoo: Everyone might as well give up now. :thumb: :becky:

Yep, I'm making my big move now!:becky:

[deguerre]

Wow! Three votes for the spud boats! :whoo:

[deguerre]

I just fell for Grail's trap.:doh:

[Big George's BBQ]

They all look great and very creative

[Redhot]

Wow! Three votes for the spud boats! :whoo:

And he wasn't even gonna enter! :becky:

[bigabyte]

I'm on a roll, I've doubled my votes since last night!:shock: This could be the big one!

[southernsmoker]

Nice job all, had to go with Gore..cause there was more cheese and bacon than potato!! :thumb:

[Alan in Ga]

Yeah Gore got me too with that beautful display but that soup was calling my name too.

[zydecopaws]

Great job all, and after much consideration I finally voted for the soup. Gore's creation looked good, but at some level I think he is messing with us and snuck a scarab beetle in there somehow. Deguerre's got serious consideration for its hysterical, er, historical value, but then closer study showed inaccuracies in one of the ironclad's armament.

All that and I don't want anyone to say "no soup for you"... :becky:

[deguerre]

Oooooo! I'm tied with Bigabyte and Ecode!:thumb:

[bigabyte]

I just need 18 more votes to take the lead! Come on folks, step it up!

Ok, ok. So they weren't Dahlgrens, and the other didn't have 10 guns. I accidentally ate some of the armaments.:roll:

[Redhot]

Great entries everyone but I had to go with the potato soup. It screamed comfort food, eat me! I did like the first picture in the cook thread better but the soup still holds it's own without the skins. :thumb:

[The BBQ QB]

Congrats Gore,

On your fantastic shoes of pork with potato soul. I didn't stand a chance. Well, I almost caught up, but the skinflints were on your side.

The skinny was up and my thin skin couldn't compete. But my whineskin is no moleskin and I'm happy to almost skin the cat, but losing by a foreskin is not such a skintight thing.

Yours in soup.

The BBQQBQ

[bigabyte]

I really thought I could take this one towards the end with all of the late votes, but it just wasn't meant to be I guess. Congrats Gore!:cool:

[Groundhog66]

Congratulations Gore, nicely done :thumb:

[Gore]

Fark, thanks guys. And QB, just to clarify, no foreskins were harmed in the making of that potato.

[gotwood]

I would give it to Monitor vs. Merrimac plating just for Historical References
