What are you serving for the Superbowl?
We are having 42 of our friends and neighbors over for a pot luck feast. I'm providing the beer and 32lbs (pre-cook weight) of pulled pork. This is our 4th year for the party and it's a blast.
Plus, it's going to be a great game that's not featuring Tom Brady

Wow, that looks good! We're bringing deviled eggs to a friend's pot-luck. Usually I do something more elaborate, but I'm just too busy this weekend, and deviled eggs go fast.

We’re not watching the Super Bowl. I plane to be shucking and smoking oysters that afternoon.

Looks like you are going all out. Sounds like fun. Wish I could come too. 
But we'll be at some friends house and I'm bringing the popcorn while DW is bringing the salad. Will be rooting for the 49ers.

Sounds vaguely un-American.

Pulled pork for us also, but only one shoulder. I’m taking it to a friend’s house and there will only be eight of us there.

Yeah, they're very 1950s/1960s but I've noticed that they disappear at potlucks, too!
I'm doing nothing and I'm perfectly happy about that. BF is coming over today; I'd reminded him that I have only Netflix and thus no access to the Superbowl so he's coming over today instead of tomorrow! I live so close to KC that my next-door neighbor IS in KC- but I'm just not interested.

Just DW and I. Pizza, shrimp and potato chips so far. I’m sure we’ll add to the menu today when we visit the local Walmart.

I declared Sunday as Official USA Junk Food day and asked DH what he wanted to celebrate: chips, salsa, and homemade guacamole. I'm also making spicy Asian chicken wings and goat cheese jalapeño poppers topped with bacon. Must.Have.Bacon.
Amusingly, when we talked with DD on Wednesday, she mentioned being confused about why Whole Foods had chicken wings, avocados, and tortilla chips on sale this week (she lives in an area of NYC where Whole Foods is the most reasonable priced grocery store  ). Obviously, she is not a football fan.

This thread may even be more exciting than the which team you think will win thread?

Junk food for sure.
Probably some Popeye's chicken, BBQ ribs and various dips.

We don't watch the Super Bowl either. Enjoy those oysters! In our case, we plan to just eat the same sort of food as always.

We don’t watch the Super Bowl .. but we do watch the commercials. In between commercial breaks we eat and talk. Nothing planned yet. It’ll be cool and sunny, so probably something on the grill. I have some bison sausage in the freezer calling to me right now ...

I'm not saying this in order to put on some kind of show or attitude, but I honestly wouldn't have known that tomorrow is Superbowl Sunday, were it not for this thread. No particular plans, other than to get up, feed the cats, and maybe go hang out in my campervan, read a book, and maybe nap a bit.

Well I only knew because of the football cakes in the grocery store yesterday!
