But first can I add in a small disclaimer? And be honest for a moment? I am British born and have never been to an American Football match ever.
I have been to British ones, which I know Americans call soccer, but I have never had the opportunity to get excited over American Football.
I imagine if I lived in the US, I would be cookingeverything and anything for game day and going on about the food being the mostimportant part. While I get told off by the football enthusiasts that inform methat the food isn’t the best bit!
But until I get the opportunity to go with a football matchand experience football food in a field, I will continue watching snippetsabout game day in the movies and in TV shows and get more and more fascinatedby it.
