My family is known for making an event special by the food we eat. Whenever anything special is on the horizon, we immediately ask ourselves, “What’s for food?” Meaning, what will we eat to commemorate this moment in time. For example, my sister’s birthday was only a few weeks ago. The weekend before it came we asked her, “What do you want to do for you birthday?” Our conversation afterward was a little slow, so I cut to the chase, “Look, what are we going to eat?”
Birthdays are one thing, and Super Bowl Sunday is another. The Super Bowl is like our Eid for food. Every year we try to come up with something to eat that is more spectacular and disgusting than the year before. We’ve had home made chicken wings, twice baked potatoes, chilli, fajitas, tacos, you name it.
