Alongside sinking locally made craft beer, Super Bowl fans will be devouring a number of traditional favorites that are typically served on the biggest Sunday of the year. The clash between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks is just days away, with fans everywhere currently constructing their game day menus.
With the likes of Sam Darnold and Drake Maye facing off against each other at Levi’s Stadium on February 8, it promises to be yet another unmissable annual championship game. However, while the game itself is the main attraction, it simply has to be supplemented by some delectable delights to munch on. After all, it’s the Super Bowl, and millions of people need good grub to consume while taking in the hardest of hits.
For some NFL fans, the Super Bowl also represents a chance to invite the neighbors over and host some of their favorite relatives for a feast of football. Alongside watching predictions on YouTube and assessing the latest DraftKings Super Bowl odds before having a bet on the big game, some suitable grub needs to be on the agenda. So, with that in mind, below we highlight the foods fans can’t resist on Super Bowl Sunday.
Dips never disappoint
While your loved ones are finding a comfortable chair for the game and watching any pre-game analysis, dips are the perfect option to get your Super Bowl feast underway. Dips are not only shareable, but you can also choose a variety of foods as the main ingredient. Chips are understandably popular, but pitta bread and bagels can be toasted, while some people also opt for warm baguettes straight out of the oven. From there, bring out your best guacamole, queso, salsa, and more to create a wonderful combination that is suitable for any occasion.
Finger foods are essential
With some intense action to take in, it’s suitable to have food that doesn’t create too much mess and distract fans from the game. As such, finger foods work for a lot of fans, with options like chicken wings, sliders, pizza, and nachos being easy to prepare and straightforward to eat. Whether you opt for Buffalo wings and cheesy nachos, or chicken parm sliders and some stunning homemade pizza, your guests for the day will be more than happy.
Some other game-day favourites
Although the aforementioned dishes are some of the most in-demand for any Super Bowl event, there are some other game-day favorites that might be a tad messier, but they’re seriously tasty. As mentioned, finger foods are the best option here. However, some exceptions can be made if you’re sitting at the table to eat. For example, chili is a game-day favorite that many NFL fans can’t ignore. Likewise, tacos are essential in some parts of the country. BBQ ribs and pulled pork are other go-to options for Super Bowl fans, with these hearty dishes always going down a treat.
Don’t forget sweets
With some of your most special recipes cooked up and your stuffed guests full of some relatively heavy food, it’s always important to bring out some mouth-watering desserts. Typically, brownies and cookies are popular, although the options are extensive here. Puppy chow is also prevalent, while chocolate-covered strawberries also work. Essentially, you have free reign here.
Order in
Of course, while a lot of the food we’ve mentioned can be made at home, millions of people also order in their favorite foods. If you’re hosting a Super Bowl event, you could even order in part of your feast to lessen the load on the day.
