Sure, sure, New England fans are gloating, doing undefeated dances hither and yon. They might even be saying, "hither and yon" for all we know. But we New York fans wouldn't be caught dead saying it! Well, except just then, but that was just to make a point!
They might have won the Division...they might even win the whole Super Bowl...but when you're looking deep into the Food Bowl, New York would take them, hands down.
How are Pats fans going to celebrate? With baked beans? Clam chowda? Salt cod? Indian pudding? (that was completely self-serving...I wrote that story...and look for one on salt cod coming soon to a newspaper food section near you!) Got anything that's not brown or beige?
New York on the other hand - snappy New York hot dogs, Italian subs, pizza, meatball subs, pasta, steakhouse sandwiches, Buffalo (New York) wings, a rainbow of ethnic foods, ...no beige there. With Eli Manning in the house, they'll be Cajun and Creole foods on the menu.
We all know the Super Bowl is about the food...and I think we already have a winner!
CarolynT,
I'm neither a Giants fan or a Pat's fan but will be pulling for the G-men for no other reason than my hometown boy Eli. So goodluck and yes you are right N.Y. has some pretty good food but having some good old Cajun dishes makes it even better.
P.S. New Englanders don't really eat clams do they? Haven't these people ever here of Oysters on a half shell...ah I guess not.
Sports doesn't have to be all numbers and stats and testosterone! I'll share a slightly different angle on sports.
I'm a mom in New York. Go Mets, Jets, Knicks and Rangers.
