What is a Moop? Why the Moop Mitt?
Moops are short for Marcus' Meat Pops, which are
marinated lamb chops. A group of us have been eating Marcus's Moops
for many New England Patriots games. You can see the recipe and
photos of the Moops by clicking

When attending a game in which Moops are on the
tailgating menu, we traditionally grabbed a paper towel to hold
the bone which was hot off the grill. This gave me an idea one day
to create the Moop Mitt, a neoprene, heat resistant "finger
mitt" which protects your thumb and index finger from the heat
and keeps them clean at the same time. I quickly realized that his
could be used for a great many foods at our tailgate. Most tailgaters
will tell you that forks are optional. The food we prepare can generally
be eaten with 2 fingers, making the Moop Mitt an ideal addition
to your tailgating accessories.
Here's a sample menu from this past week's NE Patriots
vs. SD Chargers game, all of which were ideal finger foods for the
Moop Mitt:
- Buffalo Wings
- Reuben Egg Rolls
- Veal Cutlets
- Chicken Cutlets
