Help choose CookingBites Dish of the Month (June)

[Morning Glory]

Its the last day of May so we need to decide on a Dish of the Month for June if members would like it to continue. We were a bit down on participants in May so I wondered if folk had got a bit bored with it?

Anyway - each month we choose a different and accessible dish so that most of us can join in, cook and post the results. So far we have had Frittata, Burgers, Pizza and Tortilla based dishes. Any suggestions are welcome but it needs to be a dish that can be made vegan if required with fairly easily available ingredients and a dish which offers the chance for different interpretations.

Past suggestions have included pies, pancakes, potato salad, pasta salad, macaroni cheese, chilli and bread.

Please feel free to add suggestions with the above criteria in mind. We will make a decision ASAP based on which dishes get most mentions - so please join in and support a suggestion or come up with an idea.

I'd love to see some potato salad ideas. Now the weather is getting better we're having more BBQs and potato salad would make a good accompaniment.

I like the idea. I simply didn't get around to it this past month.

Potato salad, pasta salad or coleslaw works for me.

.??? What do either of these have to do with picking a cookalong dish for June?

I'd like to put in another option, custard desserts.

I think @Shermie has accidentally posted in the wrong thread. But I'm not sure where he meant to post them or I would move them!

Pies would be nice. They can be hot or cold and would cover those of us in colder climates as well. And no, hot potato salad does not appeal.

Ok, pies and hand pies to include both sweet and savory?

 

[Morning Glory]

Pies suits me too. What is a 'hand pie'?

Something you can hold in your hand and eat.

OK - we don't call them that in the UK. Would a pasties count as hand pies in the US?

I love pies, but is it too broad a challenge?

Well - its not really a challenge as such. Just a 'participation' thing. So the more members who participate, the better! The 'Cookalong' was different. That was meant to be more of a challenge to cook a specific dish or use a specific cooking technique that perhaps members hadn't used before. In the end we didn't get many participating...
