Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Saturday, February 1. 2020Most disgusting Superbowl foodsThe entire USA will be at some football get-together on Sunday afternoon. Some people care about The Game, but for most, I think, it's just a good excuse to gather in the winter. Nachos, guacamole, and other foods are classics. There are many websites dedicated to Superbowl party food, and some to "most disgusting Superbowl foods". Beer is of course good. I like Coronavirus Extra with a slice of lime, if you have some. Nachos, guacamole? Disgusting. What things are on your list for Superbowl disgusting food items?

We 'cut the cord' years ago. We will have to go to our local pub to watch the game. Saved our selves $720/year in cable charges. We pay netflix $120/year for entertainment. We have one of those flat antennas that goes up on the wall and pulls in local CBS and PBS (free). Soo, early dinner or late lunch at the pub will cost about $60--I am really good with all of this! See you there!
Football is disgusting. Allowing that depraved heart of Michael Vick back in says all I need to know about the NFL. I think of the fight those dogs must have put up while having their heads held down in a bucket of water until they drowned.
Guacamole is not disgusting, but the less of it others eat, the more there is for me.
Don't you mean Coronavirus with a slice of lyme (disease)?
Never could understand the attraction for watching grown men chase a ball around. Neanderthals at best. Are people's lives that uninteresting?
So golf, baseball, basketball, soccer, etc. are the same?
Personally participating in a sport is mostly good exercise, watching it is like watching sex.
I'll answer the question that was asked rather than just virtue signal my dislike of football. The most disgusting Superbowl party food are those veggie trays that you can buy from the supermarket. The ones with the nasty tasting, gelatinous Ranch dressing, a bunch of baby carrots and celery sticks, and maybe a few grape tomatoes for variety and color. The veggies taste and smell of sulfite preservatives, and are generally old and in the process of going bad. And after an hour or so, all the decent tasting veggies are gone and all that is left is the celery. No bueno!
Yes, back to the original question. I never want to see another mini hot dog or kielbasa in a disgusting mustard and grape jelly concoction for the rest of my life. You can also scrap the veggie dip and any kind of cream cheese rollups.
Indifferent to football, but as a red-blooded American of course I like guacamole and nachos, I mean get real. And chicken wings.
I forget who's playing today. I think a team called the Falcons is one, but I don't know where they're from. None of that matters to me but wings, now, wings are important. Love the nachos, and guacamole, mini dogs wrapped in pastry,(yum), veggie trays as long as they are fresh. How about cheesesteaks and hoagies, yeah I'm a Philly girl. Rooting for K.C. because I was born there and still have family there. Love it all with good cold beer,Yuengling Lager. Can't wait for kick off, then there's pepperoni pizza dip, chips, pretzels.....etc. etc.
How Much Football Is Even In A Football Broadcast?
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-much-football-is-even-in-a-football-broadcast/ That said, headed to relatives for our annual Super Bowl get together. It's all about family. The Game is merely background noise. Food is generally chili, bbq brisket, or pulled pork. Cheese crackers, chips, dip, wine and beer for the drinkers and iced tea for those of us that do not. The food is good. We don't consume bad food. We're bringing apple cobbler to a Superbowl party. I think our host is supplying sloppy joes and jalopeno-stuffed olives. One fellow is bringing a bean salad, and another is bringing gluten-free buns and things. One couple will bring a veggie tray, but they don't have to--in their states of health if they bring themselves that's more than enough.
I had to look up who was playing. I was pretty sure San Francisco was in it (around here you don't get to not know what the Packers are doing). the entire usa will be watching the game. not likely most people couldn't give a damn. from a football loving, former football player that hasn't had any interest in the nfl in 25 years.
