We seem to eat a lot of fresh fruit salads in summer, more so than any other time of the year. Oh and a good old fashion crab meat salad, with pulled barb, venison, cooked twice.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Mac salad is my summertime fav, and sweet corn.

[First-light]

Soft shell crab and sweet corn.

[Elmo]

Fresh summer fruits. Mangos, cherries, etc.

Fresh summer fruits. Mangos, cherries, etc.

That's not limited to domestic fruits either..

During the many years that I lived out in the country, I used to hike miles and miles of farm roads, dirt roads, woods roads, etc. every summer..Many of those roads and trails are lined with wild berries.. I enjoyed them all, but my favorites were wild blackberries, picked off the briars and eaten by the HANDFULL...YUM !!..

Got to have Yuenglings and sabret hotdogs.

mmmm...Sabrets with all the fixins.!

I would say for summertime,it would have to be anything on the grill and sweet corn.

[Elmo]

Sabrett, Nathans, or Grays Papaya? The real summer debate.

[WNYBuckHunter]

You downstate boys dont know what a good hot dog is lol. Zweigels beats all of the rest!

[Fantail]

I truly miss currants & gooseberrys.

[Fletch]

Fresh out of the garden tomato sandwiches

Fresh picked blackberries in a bowl with a little cold milk and a sprinkle of sugar

[nyslowhand]

For me, other than the obvious BBQ, it's the fresh local tomatoes, cucumbers & corn on the cob.

Can add the fresh berries too; strawberries, raspberries or black caps.

Crap (produce) they sell in the stores sucks!!

And of course my one, true sin - ice cream, specifically the ice cream pie the new local stand makes.

[Postedboys One Shot Doug]

Boars head hotdogs are good too.

Haagendazs Rocky road ice cream and anything on my grill.
