First off, I must admit I am more of Boys of Summer fan than a football fan. I do have a favorite team, no matter how bad they are, but you wont find me sitting on a couch on Sunday with a beer watching football. Actually, that sentence almost doesn’t make sense because I could easily spend a Sunday afternoon on the couch with a beer.
Anyways, there are a few reasons I do enjoy Super Bowl Sunday and I think the biggest reason is that all gourmet, healthy and not-sure-if-that-is-food rules go out the door. It is the one day of the year I indulge in all of my favorite junk food- hot dogs, nachos, Twinkies (that’s right I said Twinkies), full sugar soda, chicken wings, just to name a few.
There is something comforting about big bowls of potato chips and popcorn that never goes empty no matter how much you eat. Or the never ending supply of bright orange nacho cheese for your chips or whatever you like to put it on...I'll admit I have drowned a few hot dogs in it.
Usually by half time, I am in a nacho cheese induced haze. Which is the perfect time for a break, especially since that is when the best commercials come on.
I have my sister and brother-in-law to thank for this tradition of junk food indulgence while enjoying a great time with family and friends. They started the tradition for us several years ago and still goes on today even it is just a few of us or full blown Super Bowl party.
So this Sunday enjoy your favorite junk foods reckless abandonment!
What is your dream junk food table for the Big Game?
