SEATTLE, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Football fan or not, few things bring people together to party like the big game. On Sunday, February 4, as two teams meet at Dolphins Stadium in South Florida in an all out battle for football supremacy, millions of Americans will come together to eat, watch some great commercials and, if your favorite team is a contender, then catch some of the game too. Otherwise, just to eat. And with that kind of pressure on the host, Allrecipes.com, the world's largest community food site, is the perfect resource for creating a winning game-day spread.
The site's game day advice section is packed with tips, instructional videos on how to prepare tasty, spicy hot wings, proven chili recipes that are sure to please a crowd, a selection of dips to round out the menu and decorating tips to ensure the perfect setting for watching the gridiron classic.
"A football party is the ultimate setting for all-day noshing," said Cory Vicens, culinary director at Allrecipes.com. "Pick a great mix of items that will fuel up your crew that won't take a lot of preparation on your part and you'll have the right ingredients for a day in front of the tube. That is what our game day feature is all about." According to a recent Allrecipes.com user survey, chips and dip define the ultimate football party for Americans. The survey also found that many consider the big day a hall pass from their typical routine and welcome the often indulgent selection of offerings. To complement what's on the table, most Americans reported that a national brand of beer, chosen over a microbrew, will be chilling in their refrigerator this year.
A couple of additional game day hosting tips the experts at Allrecipes.com have compiled in their nearly 10 years of service to everyday home cooks: -- Need to protest a call? Supply plenty of small foam footballs for
tossing at the TV or, depending on your guests, opposing players. -- Commemorate the day. Ask your guests to autograph a real football then
give it away as a prize for winning a trivia contest or correctly
calling the game. -- Keep the adrenaline up. Weather permitting, get everyone outside after
the halftime show to toss the ball around or take a crack at a themed
pinata.
