We are just days away from gathering with friends to watch Superbowl XLIV, and I thought it would be a great time to write about the foods that we’ll be eating that day. The usual suspects of Nachos, Chicken Wings, Pizza, Hot Dogs, and Burgers will be served across America, but what will they be eating in Indianapolis and New Orleans?
I’ve had great times in both cities, and I need to tell you they couldn’t be further apart in culture, or traditions. Both have wonderful food that makes me want to scream put down the pizza and get your hands on some of this! Your loss if you decide against it, but I’ll be in it elbows deep come Superbowl Sunday. Fried Pork Tenderloin Sandwich layered with pickle chips, and chopped onion in one hand, and a Muffuletta the size of a dinner plate dripping olive relish wherever I step in the other. Indiana brought us such American treasures as Pork & Beans, Wonder Bread, and who doesn’t know Orville Redenbacher’s contribution to our culture? When you see the players drinking that Gatorade you can thank the people in Indianapolis for spreading that across America too! Those Colt’s fans are going to show up hungry and with that bring loads of Chicken wings, Chili, and Potato Salad. Now the Saint’s fans will throw in some Louisiana favorites like Jambalaya, Red Beans & Rice, Po Boy’s and Gumbo followed by the sweets from both teams….. king cakes, pralines, fudge brownies and sugar cream pie…….Call in the Paramedics, cause this boy is out for the count and will be in dire need of salvation from the food coma! A very special greeting to my friends at Nick’s, and Central Grocery….You’ll be with me in spirit! Thanks for the Snacks!!!
