Five British Foods to take to an American Football Party
American fans take game day snacks, apps and party food very seriously, especially on the second Sunday in February. It's not simply the biggest weekend for sport in the USA, it is the second biggest weekend for food consumption in the entire year, even bigger than Christmas Day!
Americans up and down the country will be throwing watch parties regardless of which team they support. It's more than just a game; it's a celebration of sport, music, food and the USA.
Our Guide to What to Eat on Game Day
While the Americans prefer to watch the biggest football game of the year surrounded by buckets of guacamole and piles of wings (have you ever seen a Snackadium?) here at Jolly Posh Foods, we want to help you add a British taste of home to an all American watch party buffet table.
When thinking about what to bring to an American Football watch party, you need to think handheld, flavourful bites that are easy to grab between plays and appeal to all guests.
British Food For a Watch Party
If you’re British and living in the USA and you're invited to an American Football watch party, you can’t go wrong with bringing these iconic British crowd-pleasers.
Brits have got serious game when it comes to handheld food.
Here are five classic British foods that will smash any Super Bowl Party:
Sausage Rolls: golden flaky pastry, the MVP of British snacking and a quintessential British party staple. Our Jolly Posh Food Sausage Rolls bake from frozen and can be served hot or cooled, perfect for grazing. Please your dip-obsessed American guests by placing a bowl of HP Sauce beside a pile of your mini sausage rolls.
Pork Pies: already a quintessential snack in the UK, pork pies are just as at home on an American Football game day snack table as they are in a soccer stadium. Add some Pickled Onions and Chutney to the serving platter.
Scotch Eggs: the ultimate grab-and-go snack and much easier to make than you think with our Superb Scotch Eggs make-at-home kit. You can easily bake our scotch eggs in an air-fryer and serve your Scotch Eggs halved for easy sharing and for visual appeal.
Bacon Butties: because we all miss our bacon butties and a Bacon Butty makes everything better, even American Football. Essential that they are served inside the proper Flour-Dusted Soft White Baps and lucky for you we make our own British style breads including baps and Petite French Baguettes for sausage sarnies.
Cornish Pasties: Handheld pastry parcels full of potato and meaty goodness that taste great hot or cold, what more could you ask for? They even look like American Footballs with their distinctive shape and crimped edges.
