With spring now officially here, we can glimpse summer just over the hill, and that means backyard cookouts, where food on stick got its antediluvian start.
For our post this week, Marc and I decided to kickoff summer fun a little early with recipe links to a few of our "food on a stick" recipes AND a poll on your favorite foods to eat on a pole (pun intended)...
Take the poll (below) and

We have a set of these babies and love them. Stainless steel rods with wooden handles of assorted colors. They collapse for storage and transport and expand to let you and your family and friends spear marshmallows, hot dogs, sausages, fruits, or veg, and roast them over the grill or open fire. There's even a little rotation dial on the handle for you to easily turn the stick.
