Due to my complete lack of cooking prowess, I would bring to the table a unique yet simple dish, the fried peanut butter and pickle sandwich. Of course, you can probably tell how easy this is to make, simply spread the peanut butter on some nice bread, and put some horizontally sliced pickles on the bread. But now here is where the magic really happens. You sprinkle some kind of cheese (maybe something with a bit of a kick to it, like pepper jack cheese) on the outside of the bread, Then, you fry both sides on a grill or pan. So basically you have an inverted grilled cheese, but with a super gooey, salty, savoury, and crunchy centre. When you just say the name of the dish, it really does not sound too appealing, so I would definitely have to launch a campaign amongst the team to get my dish selected for the cookout. But I am sure that given enough time, I could convince the team to pick my culinary delight.
