Super Bowl: football or feast?

Truth be told, if the Dolphins aren't in the Super Bowl, I don't care that much about the actual game. I've always watched it and know the intricacies of the plays -- I've spent countless hours watching four sons on the field -- but I rather have a personal stake in the contest to get all gung ho about it. This year, without the Saints in it, I'm ho hum, though I'd like to hear Billy Joel sing the national anthem.
Yet...the food! The chili! The appetizers! The desserts! Every year my neighbors across the street have us and a few others around the block over for the game (and other TV events as well.) They have this incredible media room with a humongous screen and surround sound. It's much much better than being in the actual stadium. While this electronic experience is awesome, the food is better. It's non-stop feasting starting in the mid-afternoon. I'm pretty sure I eat more that one Sunday than I do for Thanksgiving or Christmas, when I'm too busy laying out the food for my family to actually sit down and enjoy it.
