re: What's the appropriate extras and amounts to throw in the boil

Chicken wings are real good

Potatoes from a boil with the left over onions, and garlic make the best potato salad I've ever tasted.

I actually took leftover potatoes and put them in the freezer until they were VERY cold and hard enough (but not frozen). Then quickly, while still hard/cold, I cut them into little cubes.

Then I deep fried them.

Best "fries" I've ever had. Crisp and golden brown on the outside, fluffy and soft on the inside.. and the best flavor from the boil.

Throw a few Mirliton in for me

We cut off the top of the pineapple, stab it with a knife all over, then drop the whole thing in. Carve it up after the boil.

I have done eggs a few times. Once your done with the boil. Keep the water hot...moving but not bubbling. Leave the basket in and crack open a egg at the water surface and roll it in the water. It will hold its shape before it hits the bottom. Picks up the seasoning on the outer skin (and sometimes claws ). I enjoy them and the leftovers are good for some potato salid the next day with The other leftovers.

As I always say in these threads, stick a whole chicken in a pantyhose tie end and boil. When done let it cool and then make a very good chicken salad.

I don't know either about boiled meat but for chicken salid that may sound legit
