After reading about the Chicken and Coca-Cola recipe (post below), I got a bit obsessed and searched for other Coke flavoured dishes. I found these and was quite inspired:
------------------------------------------------
COKE and KETCHUP SPARERIBS
2 to 3 lbs. country style spareribs (pork), fresh or frozen
1 cup ketchup
1 cup coke
Combine ketchup and cola. Place ribs in crock pot. Pour mixture over ribs. Cook 2 hours on high and at least 2 hours on low. May cook for several hours on low. Baste occasionally if desired. Serve with a side dish of cauliflower in cheese sauce.

Coke 3 tbsp. cocoa 1/2 c. buttermilk 1 tsp. baking soda 2 eggs, beaten Mix flour and sugar together. Stir in marshmallows. Set aside. In a 2 cup glass measuring cup, put Crisco, Coke, and cocoa. Heat in microwave until Crisco melts, about 2 minutes. Pour over flour mixture. Stir in buttermilk, soda, and eggs. Pour into greased glass dish. Cook on high for 11 minutes. Turn dish every 3 minutes.
COCA-COLA FROSTING

My grandmother would have loved these meals. I'm not joking but she drank only Coke, (she kept a case under her bed) and ate only meat and potatoes - no vegetables at all. The weirdest thing is that she outlived most of her healthy friends. Dinner party anyone? Above image from posterclassics.com
