On Big Game day when everyone is a football fan. Whether you are a super fan or wouldn't know a touchdown from a field goal, you can cheer the teams on and enjoy the company of family and friends. When the day of the big game approaches, your thoughts turn to three things - which teams will be playing, which commercials will be the best and what dishes to serve.
In the end, it does not matter whose team is in or out - it is all about the food. Whether your favorite team is on the roster or eliminated in the first round of playoffs, you will want to set up a good spread for your Big Game party.
If you are a big fan of football in general and the Big Game in particular, you probably already have a few favorite recipes up your sleeve. Whether it is your grandfather's guacamole dip or the salsa recipe you found in a magazine, that recipe has become as much a part of the Big Game as the two teams on the field.
We all know that football fans take the Big Game very seriously, betting millions of dollars in office pools and wagering even more on fantasy sports and creating their own teams. What you may not know is that food is a bigger part of the festivities than you might think.
The food is an integral part of every Big Game party, from the smallest family get together to the largest organized celebration. Informal studies of football fans show that guacamole and Buffalo chicken dip are among the favorites. Cheesy spinach and artichoke dip is another game day favorite, as is onion dip, with or without bacon.
Chicken wings are always a popular snack item when the Big Game rolls around, as are various chip and dip combination. Football fans who want something a bit more fancy may want to try sliders or finger sandwiches, or even a taco bar where guests can choose their favorite toppings. From shredded cheese and fresh lettuce to tomatoes and sour cream, your guests can create their own one-of-a-kind tacos and enjoy game day in style.
Homemade pizza is another fan favorite at many Big Game parties. Anyone can order pizza in for the game, but sometimes it is just more fun to make your own. Just pick up a few prepared or frozen pizza crusts, a variety of cheeses and toppings and let everyone make their own creations.
