I personally think some of them could not require smoked meats. This site is jam packed with other skills such a griddling, sous vide etc. I certainly see why many would have a smoked element though. Just offering up my opinion.
That may be, but a line has to be drawn somewhere in planning events that will be most inclusive.
I’m not suggesting some, even most don’t require it. When you think themed though like Mexican, Italian, Super Bowl, Soup and Griddle as examples those should be broad and inclusive of all potential entrants.
How many people do that? My aim is to get themes that most everyone can get in on. Inclusive, not exclusive.
Griddle? Everyone here have one? I don't. I want stuff everyone can do.
Agree if it were “Homemade Pasta” it would exclude many, heck self included perhaps. Now if that theme was “Italian dinner” one could incorporate it but you could easily enter without pasta too or with store bought. I understand and appreciate your thought process.
Fair enough, that theme could be Smashbugers, stir fry etc. you can use a outdoor griddle, indoor griddle pan , cast iron, wok etc. Feminds me I was cleaning a cupboard today and found a brand new indoor Calphalon griddle new in box. Forgot I had one left after a big buy out I did on them.
