Every year we have a Super Bowl party called "The Burp Bowl". It features, among other things, the Patriots winning and a food contest. The categories are:
1. Tastiest. Past winners include 2007's Tortiere (French Canadian Pork Pie).
2. Best Football reference: Past winners are the "Peyton Manning blows his knee out" sheet cake, 2007, and some type of cheese log shaped into a football, 2005.
3. Most likely to cause gas. There is always fierce competition for this one. 2007's winner was Cincinnati Chili. The first winner of this one, back at Burp Bowl I, was a creation called "The Ted Washington", named for a 400 lb. nose tackle on the Patriots at the time. It was a casserole that featured 3 kinds of ground beef, three cheeses, fritos, tater tots, french fried onions and canned gravy. Yikes!
Last year we added a new category: The MVP, or most valuable plate. There were just too many quality entries going unheralded. 2007's winner was the Chicago Dog (check way back in the blog- there's an entry on the Chicago dog).
So who will win 2008? Well, the Patriots, but what about the food? Stay tuned, sports fans....
