Pomsey's Tips
New England Patriot Tailgater Gregg from Quincy, Massachusetts

Our gang enjoys the tips in fresh French rolls (bought 7:00am day of the game) with American cheese and grilled Vidalia onion.  This recipe feeds 10 pre and post game if other main courses are served.

24 - 30 Hours before game...purchase meat, and prepare.

8 - 10 lbs. - Sirloin Tips, or Rib Eye cut into 2 inch cubes. Trim any excessive fat; meat needs some fat to remain juicy throughout grilling process. Cut tips and put in a large Tupperware container.

Crack a beer, and keep it in your left hand (right hand if you are a leftie) for balance if nothing else...drink liberally.

In a large mixing bowl combine:
1 1/2 cups of ketchup
8 tablespoons molasses
3 tsp Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard or Dijon Mustard
6 tsp Soy Sauce
3 tsp Garlic Powder
3 tsp Habanero Pepper Sauce (more or less according to your friends and your tailgates proximity to the port-a-potty)
1 tsp black pepper (1 1/2 ts fresh ground)

Crack beer #2   Pour Sauce over tips, mix well so meat is thoroughly coated. Refrigerate for 24 - 30 hours.

Crack Beer #3  in anticipation of what is about to come.

At your tailgate place tips on the grill, and save the extra sauce. Grill according to your liking. For messy tips (and a messy grill) baste through out the grilling process. If you coated your tips well the day before there should be no need to baste.

Tailgate Tales:  There are 13 die hard tailgaters from all over Massachusetts, and Connecticut in our group. We have been season ticket holders since 1994, we tailgate every game, rain, snow or shine, 90 degrees or 9 degrees. We are the first in the lot, and the last to go!

We have taken our tailgate on the road to Buffalo (twice) (what a party they get going' up there - HARDCORE!!), and to Dallas. Also, we took it to New Orleans for the 1997 Super Bowl (Pats / Packers). Too many pre-game Hurricanes at Pat O'Brien's to get the grill fired up!!

For us the tailgate is the day, win or lose the game is secondary. We have welcomed Buffalo Bills fans, NY Giants fans, NY Jets fans, and Dallas Cowboys fans into our tailgate. We all enjoy the game, everyone gets to root for their team, but the thrill of the day is the comraderie of the tailgate...good friends, good food, good drink. A beautiful fall New England day. It don't get any 
better.

On the horizon we have a new stadium to look forward to, and new parking lots that are even more conducive to tailgating.

Keep the party jumpin'!!
