[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Half of you are just naming random summer foods. Op said MEAL. The ideal summer meal is obviously a plate from a backyard grill out: hot dog, hamburger, baked beans, potato salad, maybe some BBQ chips, and s’mores for dessert. That is a summer meal. [/quote]

But op said:
We're on the verge of July and I don't want to get to September and think, "Whoops, I forgot to make/eat X!"

What makes you think "It's really summer now"?

So I took that as asking about summer traditional foods and I listed mine. For me it wouldn’t be summer without watermelon for breakfast. It’s just a list of ideas, nothing serious about it.[/quote]

+1. As an aside, I hate it when people dump on fun threads, especially in the Food forum. [/quote]

I'm the OP, and I support these statements. The wrist-slapping poster probably had good intentions, and I do love it when people manage to pack multiple summer dishes into one meal (cold soup followed by a BLT or lobster roll? yes please), but sometimes an enormous platter of insalata caprese *is* the meal.

Anyway, carry on! You're doing great (although not to food-shame, [b]but I am curious about how stuffed cabbage says "summertime!" to anyone[/b] -- enjoy, though)[/quote]

Maybe we’re not all white?[/quote]

The stuffed cabbage I'm familiar with is Eastern European. Would love to hear about other options [/quote]

I actually went and googled it and stuffed cabbage is heavily associated with the Eastern Europe and into Russia. Every one of those countries has at least one rolled cabbage recipe. But! Dolmas and the other middle eastern/North African ones too. And China evidently has a cabbage roll (I don’t know anything about Chinese food).[/quote]
