10 must-have foods at your Super Bowl party

8. Shrimp cocktail

This is your chance to pretend you’re fancy. An ornately prepared shrimp cocktail platter gives you an excuse to hurl expletives at your TV while reassuring everyone at the party that you’re actually quite classy.

A bit of a departure from the usual stuff, but this gives you an opportunity to mix it up since most party food dishes tend to be served hot. This is another one that doesn’t really call for any cooking. Just go to the store, buy some shrimp and cocktail sauce and dump it in a bowl. Easy as that.

If it’s not your party and your team loses the Super Bowl, be sure to clog your host’s garbage disposal with the shrimp shells before you leave.

 7. Bacon roll-ups

This one might not be an obvious choice, but it’s severely underrated. What are bacon roll-ups, you ask? Well, they are little pieces of baked bread rolled around a cream cheese center, and then tightly wrapped with warm, crispy bacon. Has anything else ever sounded so perfect?

In short, bacon is everything. It’s hard to imagine life without it. After all, is it really a party if there’s no bacon?

This appetizer is a bit greasy if you’re eating it with your fingers. But you can use that to your advantage. If you’re an Eagles fan and the Patriots score, just pat your friend on the back and act like you’re being a good sport, when really you’re attempting to get a grease stain on the back of their Tom Brady jersey. Bacon goes well with many things, but it goes best with revenge.
