Meal ideas for Pentecost?

Meal ideas for Pentecost?

I was thinking of spicy barbecue chicken, strawberry lemonade, seasonal salad, some garlic bread, and a strawberry short cake for dessert.

I've seen a church do a multi-cultural meal once. But other than that it's really not a huge meal-based celebration so it's not something I've ever thought about.

Maybe it'd be a good time to do something you light on fire for dessert, like bananas foster or cherries jubilee? Or S'mores.

What did you have in previous years, Buzz?

I'd go with spinach and black bean enchiladas, accompanied by Mexican rice, and a mixed greens salad with a lime-shallot vinaigrette and pepitas. You could start off with a trio of dips or salsas with tortilla chips ... mango salsa, habanero salsa, guacamole, queso dip, etc. Finish with something simple like dulce de leche ice cream.

In the past, a roast beef if it was cool enough to use the oven or something on the grill when hot. It's a Catholic tradition to eat some kind of bird (representing the dove/holy spirit) and something with orange or red for dessert (representing the holy fire). A salad or bread is often served, with some opting instead for their favorite vegetables. During the last couple of heat waves, my family honestly got Chinese take out. Sometimes it's just too hot to cook. I try to avoid cooking on 90 plus days.

If you ever visit the Hudson Valley, I would recommend checking out our wonderful restaurants during the holiday seasons.

I am an almost-69-years-old Catholic from birth. I've never heard about having a special meal to celebrate the Feast of Pentecost. I guess I'm still young enough to learn new things!
