I saw somewhere this week (Tom Colicchio's Top Chef blog?) that Super Bowl Sunday is the second biggest day for food consumption in the US, after Thanksgiving.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Art Crawl!!!
I saw that too. . . probably on Top Chef.
So, would all the Super Bowl food be uniquely American? (Mixing discussion threads.)

Nearly all the best... well, at least most popular, junk foods originate in the New World, with the standout exception of pretzels -- consider just corn, tomatos, hot peppers and chocolate and everything that derives from them.
Which reminds me, I have several unopened bags of Snapea Crisps downstairs.... mmmmmh!

consider just corn
Which led to the most awesome snack food EVER. (Funyuns!)
Also Corn Nuts.

Hmm. Barbecue didn't come up as uniquely American food, eh? Mmm, barbecue. We're having bratwurst though, which isn't. But it is yum. And D. is making fries & ketchup as per the recipes of Alex Jamieson (Morgan Spurlock's wife). Also yum.

I had to pick up some potato chips on my way home from the pharmacy. Even if I'm not watching the Superbowl, it just seemed like sacrilige to not eat some junkfood today.

I have jalapeno cheetos and magic beer

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thank you all for the whitefont. I'm trying not to get spoiled before I finish watching the tape of the Australian Open, but then I keep forgetting and going to my normal internet places.

I'm hungry for cupcakes. Does anyone have a cupcake recipe?

magic beer
I drank magic beer last night and then got sick (not immediately after, and I didn't over-indulge, which is why I'm 99.8% sure the magic beer didn't cause the pukey, but now I'm leery of drinking it again [see also, frozen chicken nuggets and the Stomach Bug of Aught-Eight and why I won't eat them again]).
My list of things I can consume without mentally linking them to stomach woes is slowly narrowing to gruel and squirrel.
