Super Bowl Food!
The 43rd Super Bowl is this weekend and there will be Super Bowl parties and gatherings with loads of food to be consumed. Did you know that Super Bowl Sunday is the second largest American food consumption day, following Thanksgiving? The Super Bowl was created as part of the merger agreement between the National Football League (NFL) and its competitive rival, the American Football League (AFL). After its inception in 1920, the NFL fended off several rival leagues before the AFL began play in 1960. The intense competitive war for players and fans led to serious merger talks between the two leagues in 1966, culminating in a merger agreement announcement on June 8, 1966. My friends back home, especially the Kimball boys, will be watching the super bowl and some follow my food blog. With that in mind, I’ve decided to highlight some food ideas that I might consider serving.
Calamari with Sea Salt and Chili
Grilled Roast Pork Cubano Sandwiches
Ham, Tomato and Ricotta Calzones
The Culinary Chase’s Note: The platter shown at the top was quite easy to assemble and these days a good delicatessen will have most of these ingredients. The asparagus was a bit time consuming but well worth the effort. I grilled the eggplant and red bell pepper as I’m not keen on the packaged versions available here (plus I enjoy barbecuing). A good time will be had by all so enjoy Super Bowl 43 and food! Cheers!
Hey Heather, it all looks great. We will be getting together for the SuperBowl and you are right, lots of food will be consumed along with a few pints of beer.
Nice tribute to this annual event. To bad our beloved Patriots didn’t make it but there is always next year.
Cheers.

Wow, love all these dishes…a nice international feel to them…probably good with lots of wine!
Thanks Grant & Peter! Beer, wine or bubbly……what to choose? 🙂
