Mine is a rich curry and a couple of cold stouts.

Followed by a couple of Pizzas and some more cold stouts.

Then I lick the left-over curry bowl.

If I'm still hungry, I eat a couple of full english's (with plenty of fried tomato) at a greasy spoon (washing it down with a couple of chilled stouts of course).

Then I usually pass out for abour 30 hours, wake up, and have to check Atlas F1 to see who won the race because I can't remember anymore.

GO MAN U!

Seeing that a majority of the races are shown in Chicago before sunrise, mine is a big plate of scrambled eggs with extra-scrispy bacon and burnt sausage patties and white toast, washed down with a pot of hazelnut coffee.

No left-over curry?!

I have a tradition where I try and prepare some sort of dish, generally a dessert or pastry, that ties in to the local country hosting the race. Some countries are harder than others...I've still yet to find a good Malasyian dish. It's early morning in Illinois generally, so I also wash it down with coffee, generally Jamaican Blue Mountain.

Along with Scudetto and Eric being in Illinios and usually being the ASS CRACK of DAWN when the races are on I am pushed out of bed by my wife 10 minutes before the race. I try and figure out why I'm up soo early and what kind of vehichle ran me over the previous night. I usually start with some Ramon noodles after my stomach has calmed down I will go for Some eggs and sausage, toast, coffee, and some OJ. And by the press conference I am on to Bloody marys.

[Enkei]

I never eat during a race, I need to keep my eyes on the TV all the time because I don't want to miss a thing. And besides I need to keep my fist free to slam the wall, the table or anything in my range when my favourite retires again

Is it just me, or should atlas add a Smilie of a little yellow facing enjoying a nice curry? Surely I'm not the only one!

Jeez - I hope you're watching the race by yourself...

Since I am one Pacific time, 5 am is waaaay too early to eat - just several cold beers for me.

ERIC! heads up. try the site for loads more ideas

Malysian dishes

Ayam Mask Kicap (Chicken in Black Sauce)
Ingredients:
1 chicken
5 shallots, 3 cloves garlic, 2 cm piece ginger pound Together
2 red chilies, sliced lengthwise
4 tbs thick soy sauce
1 large onion, sliced into thick rings
1 lime
2 tsp. turmeric powder
1 tsp. salt
Method:
Wash the chicken and cut into bite-sized pieces. Mix with salt and turmeric powder. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the chicken pieces until crispy. Drain off the oil but leave 2 tbsps in the pan. Fry the pounded ingredients until fragrant.
Add the soy sauce and chicken pieces and mix well. , Add in the onion rings and chilies and just before dishing out, squeeze the lime juice over. If you want more gravy you can add ½ cup water and bring to boil before adding in the chicken pieces. Soy sauce is already quite salty so be careful not to add too much salt.



Had something similar for breakfast at the Pan Pacific on the Friday (must have had some excellent Garlic, i would normally use double ) It was best with a Roti (cooked just before serving not reheated like some people ) I suggest that you wash it down with a decent northern Italian white (Tiger Beer would be more authentic )

As for other places, and other dishes we used to do something similar in the BC (before children) got a good choice of wines for most meals and countries (bring back Argentina and Portugal!!!)

For Monaco, we get out the champagne and have filet mignon and eggs for breakfast (race starts at 8am here in T.O.) and dream we are in the harbour on our yacht. This "tradition" is going on its 10th year. We now have 12 people watching the race with us.

[benn5325]

Brazil was a 20oz Porterhouse, but now it gonna be good ol Fry-ups until Indy.
Theres a great Irish shop in Glen Ellyn. Irish bacon, black & white pudding, Irish Bangers!
Oh momma!

I drank a bottle of bub once with my curry. BAD COMBINATION. The term "chemical reaction" doesn't even begin to encompass the... situation I was faced with.

Don't mix gastric aggravation substances!

Usually, I find it hard to make friends.

That's why I came here.. to share my love of curry and meet some GREAT PEOPLE!

[molive]

Since the races (europe) are usually 9am, and I'm too lazy to make an elaborate breakfast, I usually watch the races with a bowl of cereal and a glass of juice. :

Sounds positively nuclear. Maybe we could fuel the Minardi's with that!

Same for me. However, I usually go to the pub one hour ahead of the race and take pole position infront of the big screen. Order a chiliburger with fries and sit there talking to some other big fans of F1. It's alot of fun and if anyone of you happen to be in Stockholm, pop into O'Learys at Söder in Stockholm and have a chat. I always finish eating ahead of the race. I'm way to much into the race to eat. I manage to drink a little now and then though

[Eric]

Here's the menu thus far this season:

Australia: Pavlova ( a meat pie that I read about on the internet...not bad)
Malaysia: Cold Pizza (It was 2am!)
Brazil: Rabo de tatu ( Brazilian pastry filled with ground beef and garnished with cilantro.) Excellent!

Imola : Tiramusi - One of my faves!

Spain...Haven't decided yet.

I'll update my menu as the season progresses.

[Eric]

The only reason I can eat during the race is because SpeedTV shows commercials every 10 miniutes

I'll eat Curry when there's a GP of India...

That chicken would taste I think!

How about paella for Spain? with some Sangria to wash it down!

[Fortymark]

What´s wrong with snacks?
I can´t enjoy good food if there´s a good and exiting race. But some chips and Coke is great!

It's a gruelling endurance event where you have to eat a series of dishes in under an hour..

The events list goes like this:

1 Plate Chicken Vindaloo (Extra spice)
1 Plate Tandoori Chicken
1 Plate Lamb Korma
1 Plate Moghali Chicken Biryani
1 Plate Chicken Tikka Masala

Most quit after the Lamb Korma. I lost in '99 and '01 because I didn't consume enough water. These things make your face light up like a candle!

[Arioch]

for australia, it was just snacks... chips and salsa, things like that.
malaysia, i don't remember eating anything.
brazil, i ate pizza, sausage, onion, mushroom and garlic and had hype/vodka's to drink. got wasted.
imola was WAY too early to eat (i'm in milwaukee)... i think i had some left over pizza (not left over from brazil though) near the end of the race.

i have a feeling that the rest of the european races will be the same as imola. canada will be like brazil and usgp will be whatever they're serving at indy.

[Nustang70]

i'm on Pacific time with Hi Test...5 am doesnt allow for such exotic food preparations. usually its just cereal, or if i am feeling ambitious, a microwave pizza. never anything that i cant come back with during a comercial break.

[maclaren]

Usually I bake something good for race

Another plate would paralyse even the most ambitious of curry eaters. WHen I say plate, I mean a pile that fills the plate. None of you lightweights would get past dish 3. Don't even joke about adding another.

[Suzy]

I can't eat during a race. From an hour beforehand my heart rate increases. It's a combination of excitement and nerves. I can manage a few glasses of water but food is out of the question.

I'm just as bad when I'm watching live racing at any UK circuit where I have a "vested interest". My nerves will not let me eat. I just sit and tremble (stand and tremble if I'm at a race circuit).

thanks for the recipe Phil - looks delicious - might try it on Friday night.

[EnzoHonda]

I usually whip up a batch of rice pudding that I call "race pudding." It's lame, but I like rice pudding.

Whenever a Canadian wins in CART (BPTCCWSPBF) I go buy a dozen donuts from Tim Horton's. Victory donuts...

That's me as well, although I have been known to have a few beers depending on the time of the race.

[SeanValen]

Only time I think I was about to enjoy my pizza on race day was Hockenheim 2000, then Michael went off, and that spoiled it, so race day for me, is too nervous to enjoy with a pizza. What I do enjoy is the Saturday, normally ordered a pizza at qualifying time, it's less nervous time with race day to come.

[aportinga]

SEE Sausage vs. Bacon thread.

[AtlanticRacer]

Living in the US, we either get late night or early morning races. So late night is usually copious amounts of red wine...Early morning is difficult, especially after a night of partying, so wake and bake is generally the way to go. For races like Brazil or Canada or Indy, milk punch is a pretty good option. This post should probably be in the "Favourite f1 watching cocktail" thread....but I digress....

[condor]

Cold beers and a packet of Marlboro reds

[Lada Lover]

Race is on at 7am so it's coffee and reheated pizza or coffee and French pastry. For sure coffee.
