Ready For This “Super” Matchup?
Of course, most everyone knows that the biggest football game of the year is Sunday – and it’s actually a very exciting matchup!
I was born and raised in Seattle, so of course I want my Seahawks to win their 10th game in a row and take home the Super Bowl 60 trophy!
But New England is a great team as well, so I will applaud whichever team prevails – it will be a great game!
No matter who you support, you must prepare for the event by entering this stadium!
Dig Into This “Food Stadium!”
Now THIS is a Super Bowl stadium I would buy a ticket for! Yes, when the world’s biggest sporting event is on, you have to do your part to live up to the hype – and that means only one thing!
THE SUPER BOWL OF SNACKS!
Sunday’s game will be an exciting athletic event – not for the two teams involved, but for the millions and millions who will be doing heavy lifting – of all of this snack food!
A “Stadium Of Snacks!”
Bravo to whoever conceived and created this – look at the array of food that awaits…
What better way to celebrate the Super Bowl than with amazing food stadiums to help us swallow the following Super Bowl Food stats!
And of course, you can never go wrong when you unveil a snack stadium that looks like this – all of these great pics raise a question: how much food IS eaten on Super Sunday?
Here Are Your Super Bowl Snack Stats!
The Super Bowl is ranked as the number two food consumption event of the year, second only to Thanksgiving!
So, how many calories is that?
Give Me 1,200 Please!
Yes, the average number of calories consumed during the Super Bowl is 1,200 – which doesn’t actually sound as bad as I feared!
I do my part to celebrate for sure!
Put A Hold On 71.4 million Pounds Of Guacamole, Please!
Yep, that’s the estimated pounds of Hass avocados that are consumed on Super Sunday! That’s enough to cover the Super Bowl Stadium end zone to end zone in more than 27.5 feet in avocados!
I love the way the guacamole looks like the playing field here!
90 Millions Pounds Of Wings, Please!
Hope you have enough ranch dressing and paper towels to handle this one:
1.25 billion!
Yep, that’s the number of chicken wings Americans are expected to eat on Super Bowl Sunday, according to the U.S. National Chicken Council, and why would they lie to us?
If you have anyone else in your house – and since we are in the midst of a pandemic, you should always follow the exact rules in your city and state where you live – just remember this:
Don’t “Double Dip”!
We all remember the hilarious “Seinfeld” episode when George is caught double dipping…but George had it right – if the dip is good you gotta go back!
There was a reason he got so upset – because everyone loves chips!
Who Wants Chips? We ALL Want Chips!
Look at this stat!
An astounding 14,500 tons of chips and 4,000 tons of popcorn are eaten on Super Bowl Sunday.
The Calorie Control Council says we’ll also eat:
— 11.2 million pounds of potato chips.
— 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips.
— 4.3 million pounds of pretzels.
— 3.8 million pounds of popcorn.
— 2.5 million pounds of nuts during their Super Bowl parties.
So let’s get our food on!
But if this is all too big for you, you can also create something “small” and delicious, like this amazingly delicious Super Bowl snack:
The Bacon Oreo!
Yes, here are some more amazing snacks you can serve, like an oreo cookies stuffed with bacon! Or, perhaps you want your bacon even easier to hold and consume, and in that case I give you this:
A Macaroni And Cheese Stuffed Bacon Cone!
Easy to hold, delicious to devour, this is the way to enjoy a Super game!
But the Super Bowl is about more than just food!
And Is There A Beverage?
Well, what do YOU think?
And if you want to mix your food and drink, why not do it this way?
Why Not A Bacon Beer Mug?
During the Super Bowl, there will be 325 million GALLONS of beer consumed. That is A LOT of beer…but if you put it in the right kind of mug like this, you should be fine….
So there you have it: food, drink, and more food – lots and lots of food. But I think we are missing ONE crucial ingredient: THE TWINKIE!
The TWINKIE Stadium!
Yes, this is an edible Twinkie stadium…I actually found many versions of it online, so thanks to all who have shared this…first, you must lay out the outline of your stadium in, of course, Twinkies…
Holy Taco’s Twinkie Stadium uses a flat aluminum pan spread with sections of salsa, queso dip, and guacamole as a base, and cheese-topped hot dog pieces as players on the field. Various snack mixes are held together by a retaining wall made of Twinkies which the site refers to as “nature’s brick.”
Nature’s Brick!
If you pay close attention, you can see Twinkies also used as cars in the parking lot in many of the stadiums…nice touch….
If you don’t want to make a “food stadium”, then perhaps you will settle for this:
Caviar-topped Dungeness Crab Cakes!
Seattle has the greatest Crab and these are the perfect way to showcase them! It’s just one recipe that will take on a New England Lobster Roll!
Here are 4 great recipes for your Super Bowl “food fight!”
And if seafood isn’t your thing, why not do this unique take on a cheeseburger?
Yes, make a cheeseburger with the melted cheese OUTSIDE THE BUN!
Here’s the recipe:
As I said, I shared some great “food fight” recipes on my food site. like this one…
Seattle’s Salmon Chowder takes on New England Clam Chowder:
