Kentucky Derby! We're hosting a Kentucky Derby Party! Years ago, we attended the actual Kentucky Derby Party in Louisville, Ky--it was a dream come true! Never thought we'd be there in person on that day! Locally, one of the wineries host a party but this year we decided to have our own--after all, we have HATS! to wear and wonderful tasty food to eat!
In my research for Derby Day recipes--I remembered the foods we had while in Louisville for Derby Day--Kentucky Hot Brown--yum! Every restaurant had Hot Brown on their menu
An open faced turkey sandwich topped with bacon, covered with Mornay sauce. Simple ingredients that you might have on hand
first became associated with racing when the dish was served at livestock sales in the early 1800s. A horse-racing tradition began as a means to convince people to buy the animals, and these events became wildly popular gathering places for friends to catch up and for politicians to connect with supporters
Of course, there will be Mint Juleps to Taste.
We don't have the fancy cups but did find pewter solo cups!!
For dessert--it's a must to have Derby pie.
Oh, there will be other treats to sample--each guest is bringing along their favorite Kentucky product--maybe, just maybe, there will be many Kentucky Bourbons to taste!!
I have no idea which horses are running, but it looks to be a lovely day with friends along with delicious tasty foods!
