Offical Team Food?
 

I dont think that most teams have an offical food (besides pizza) but we do. Its a fruit, the Kumquat, its a small orange like fruit that is extremely sour and good. If any other teams have a strange "offical" thing, it doesn't have to be a food, I want to hear about it.

Since we X-Cats are such an internationaly diverse group I'd have to say our trademark food would be potluck(we have one every year).

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

Well Us 522 members past and present have grown a custom to having Albanian pizza which tastes awesom A&S Pizzeria just a 5 minute walk from the school. You can imagine what build seasons like. Only 1 person leaves the building to bring back food and drinks while everyone else works there tale feathers off. :] ;)

I am going to have to say doughnuts with green icing. We ate them at competitions last year. We used to give away MOEmints (chocolate mints), but those didnt hold up well in the Florida heat.

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

We have one "Mothers Pizza" that is about a two minute walk from where we biuld the robot and if you want a large in there you cant say that, (there not on the menu) you would say I want a "big Mother."

chicken wings
Its that one food that makes us all happy...well most of us anyway

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

Wendy's... there's a Wendy's across the street from our school, and we practically live off it during the last few days of build season.

We also have one team member who makes really good chocolate chip cookies... those are sorta an official food, too.

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

Hey Ed, what about the bagels in the morning on saturdays? I always looked forward to that + the fact that the XCATS have their own soda fountain at their site

the florida team - Can you get chicken wings in florida? I thought chickens only grew wings in buffalo NY?

for our team, one engineer use to bring in a box of Twizzlers every day - and we had a raw carrot thing going on for a while

but now we mostly hit the vending machines

PS - only two saturdays down so far and I've already developed an adversion to pizza!

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

Old Pizza with Ranch Dressing was pretty standard last year for us. Also there was a time toward the end of the build season two years ago, where in the cabinet and the fridge we had:

-Taco Shells
-Sugar cubes
-Peanut Butter
-Jelly

Yea... so we put the PB&J in the taco shell and covered it with sugar... Not to good, but it was food.

-Aaron

Yeah RAGE is pretty much addicted to Dew. We cleaned out the Fiesta super market(of two liters cause they were on sale cheap) next to our hotel last year in Houston.

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

Last year, during build, we opend a drawer in visteon and its contents amazed us. It had ketchup musterd and relish packets from 1987. The only ones that still retained its original color was the ketchup. (however it was three shades darker)

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

Our team eats DP Dough - calzones, but better. There's a store downtown and we usually get it every night... As a team, we probably spend (lemme do some estimates)... around $1800 during the season on that... Hence why we want their sponsorships. There's quite a few DP Dough stores. Google them to see if they have one near you.

One of our team member's mother is the desert chef at the biggest vegetarian restaurant here, Moosewood. So she brings us lots of goodies frequently :)

OURS IS DR PEPPER :D

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

You all probably know what I am going to say!!!

S...P...A...M...SPAM...SPAM...SPAM

This is like our induction ceremonial food. Subway and the Coke machine seem to be more popular.

In case anyone was wondering, SPAM stands for "South Fork High School" "Pratt & Whitney" "and" "Martin County High School". We might have to change our team name since we are adding a new high school in the county next year that should be apart of our team. I am not sure yet though, so don't quote me on that. So far, we are planning to be using our famous name, SPAM.

Sorry if that last paragraph was slightly off topic.

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

since the chinese place is a block away, shrimp egg foo young, but we tell the freshman that its 'monkey brains'. they still belive it. we also love bbq chicken pizza from the pizza place next to the chinese place, but our mentor is a bigger fan of chinese.

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

This is scary, some of the team leadership and a couple parents were talking about official team food today.

Since we are 360, The Revolution, we decided that anything round passed our test ie: pizza, bagel bites, bottles of water, bagels, etc...

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

thats almost as scary as when my mom made nothing but round food for a month...

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

Now that Gene has retired it's now my job to get the bagels every Saturday.
Fun!Fun!Fun! :rolleyes:

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

Our team really doesn't have an official food. We have a calander made up for the six weeks and people volunteer for the different nights and it depends on what they want to cook. We've had chicken, pizza, turkey, tacos, soups, ziti, cold cuts, well, you get the idea. We even wrote letters to local supermarkets and resteraunts and they have donated food for some nights(what also helps is the fact that our team is a 501-c3 nonprofit organization so what ever they donate they can use as a write off).

:) Just remember, a FED team is a HAPPY team! :)

How True that Is: An Army Travels on its Stomach and a Team Builds on its Stomach.

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

Oreos... double stuffed- although we're pretty well stocked on all the junkfood... i just had an awesome brownie today... :)

And PR has just developed its own tradition- gluttony on the chinese food... ahh... there is nothing like spending 30-40 dollars on a feast of chinese... mmm mmm good.

KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS
If you ever want to make a point to dave or to win him over, offer him some hot fresh krispy kremes.

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

hell, just offer ANYONE fresh hot krispy kremes and they'll bow down to you...

Re: Offical Team Food?
 

not as much as my dad(dave). we offered him 14 dozen to do a jig during the spirit landing, and he claims he did but the camera didnt catch him. hmmmm, ill have to ask other people who where there. He has Krispy Kreme boxers!(a gift from the team last year, a dozen, a mug, and boxers).
