FOR those of you who think Super Bowl sans classics (wings, Colts) is like Thanksgiving without turkey, our "Traditional" Super Bowl menu is for you. Speaking of which, according to author Frederick Kaufman, the Super Bowl has surpassed Thanksgiving as the premiere national food holiday. Kaufman also says, "The real American stomach is revealed on Super Bowl Sunday, when we are unencumbered by tradition and choose our favorite foods to celebrate."
This is exactly how we think you should plan your party: Choose your favorite foods and celebrate with the Giants. The best party is the one that's easy and fun for the host (guests will notice if you're not with them in front of the TV).
Food Network's Guy Fieri agrees. "Many Super Bowl foods can be made the day before," he says, "so you don't have to be yelling 'What's the score' from the other room during the game." Fieri, a Raiders fan married to - brace yourself - a Pats fan, also suggests letting guests put their own food together, when possible. Cook the wings, he says, then have bowls of different sauces on the table.
