What is eaten for Super Bowl Sunday

The final of the American football season is watched at home in large groups, and the food is built for a sofa and a long evening. Chicken wings are the centre of it, and Americans eat well over a billion of them over the weekend. Around them come nachos, guacamole, layered bean dips, a pot of chili and delivered pizza. It is counted among the largest days for eating in the United States, behind only Thanksgiving.
