America’s biggest game night is incomplete without food, but what is the #1 dish that people in the states prefer to eat during the Super Bowl in 2023? If you think it’s wings, well, you’re in for a surprise!
Food chains have started announcing exciting deals on even more exciting dishes as Americans are planning their menus for the big day.
Even though popular belief holds that buffalo wings are football lovers’ go-to item during the Super Bowl, as per a study, it seems like Americans are attracted to a different dish this year.
What is the #1 Super Bowl food in the US in 2023?
Meatballs are the #1 Super Bowl food in the U.S. this year, according to a BidOnEquipment study.
The research was conducted using more than 9000 Google search terms by Americans to determine the most popular food during game night across the U.S. in 2023.
As opposed to the popular belief that wings are the most famous dish across the country during the Super Bowl, apparently, it’s a favorite only in seven US states – Illinois, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia.
The outlet reveals ahead of the Super Bowl: “Surprisingly, the most popular Super Bowl food in all of America isn’t buffalo wings, but meatballs!”
While people of Wisconsin prefer beer cheese dip, the study says states such as Missouri, Indiana, and Alabama choose a bowl of chilli.
The food preference changes with every state, but a few other dishes that are popular during the super Bowl apart from Meatballs are Tater tots, queso, and fried pickles.
Alcohol vs non-alcoholic drinks
We have always seen our favorite TV or movie characters sipping on some good ol’ beer while enjoying the Super Bowl, but in reality, people prefer non-alcoholic beverages to go with their snacks.
According to the same study, 43 per cent of Americans go with non-alcoholic beverages and only 41 per cent of them choose to drink beer. About the same percentage of people like to keep it simple with plain water.
Meanwhile, people who drink alcohol form a small percentage of the total, with 20 per cent choosing cocktails and 12 per cent going for wine.
Twitter users pick their favorite game night dish
Just like each dish is unique to different states, every individual has their own choice of food for the Super Bowl and the report suggests, 2 in 5 people are planning on eating buffalo wings on Sunday.
But, here’s what Twitters have planned to fill their stomach with.
“The best food for the Super Bowl is nacho Doritos and top the tater. i am not taking comments at this time and if you don’t know what top the tater is maybe spend some time in the great state of Minnesota and learn about our culture,’ wrote one.
“My favorite super bowl food has got to be wings, fly eagles fly,” said another.
“Rihanna’s favorite food is pasta so I feel like I should make a pasta meal for the Super Bowl,” wrote a third person.
Another tweet read: “Some of the sandwiches I could eat during the Super Bowl , but for me, just give me some wings and fries, I am good”
