Southern style green beans.

This, I came here to post this OP. It'll go great with the "BBQ/Homestyle" sort of pot luck you are having. There are plenty of different recipes for you to check out. Have fun!

>>8915606
If you want to keep the southern theme going; turnip, mustard or collard greens are a good bet. If the crowd is more of the "eew veggies" type, make collards with hamhocks or bacon.

If you dont want to do veggies a fruit salad with the current season of fruits cant go wrong

Plus its easy/healthy/safe

>artery clogging mac n cheese
>coleslaw
>tomato roughy / caprese salad
>smoked baked beans w/ bacon
>homemade guacamole and chips
>humus and bagel chips
I can add jalapeño to any of the above and it makes me happy.

Greens are always nice.
But take your audience into consideration.
A lot of fatties won't eat them.

>>8915653
This is the only correct answer.
An apple cider vinegar based coleslaw would also be ok, but nothing beats the succ.

>Been a tough month, had two molars extracted
>poor as shit because
>finally able to eat properly
>Just want smoked brisket for my birthday
>Not even enough money to buy a little charcoal grill
>I guess no smoked brisket this birthday

Oh well. :(

>>8915677
Celebrate it next month.

You're not a child anymore.

>>8915711
I never had a good birthday. I got robbed on my 21st.

Excellent ideas, y'all! I'll have to visit my whole foods and see if there are any sales; have to cook in bulk for the group, now.

>>8915677
Sorry to hear that, anon. I'll take a picture of the brisket if your imagination wants a taste.

>>8915719
It does. Thanks Anon. I'll just make it next month but man it has been too long since I've smoked brisket. Nothin better than soaking wood chips in beer, firing up the smoker, throwing the moderately trimmed brisket on, and then drinking some beer and pass out. Wake up a 6 hours later and just a while longer and I'd have delicious brisket ready. Mmmhmm.

MOTHERFUCKING CORN SON

I also agree with the green bean guy.

>>8915606
No one's going to eat your pathetic side dish when there's brisket involved.

Just bring chips.

>>8915673
I agree. You should make a succ with the following: Corn, Lima Beans, Tomatoes, Okra, and Purple Hulled Peas. Add plenty of butter and some crushed red pepper flakes.

>>8915606
Make a buttery succotash. Delicious and healthy. It's got something for everyone.
