Football Food For Fans - Week 1

Football Food For Fans - Week 1, originally uploaded by Mark K_NJ

This one is too juicy not to pass along.  Flickr user, and member of The700Level's own flickr group, MarkKNJ, does his Sundays in style.

Mark explains his Sunday tradition on his photo page:

  Every season, I cook something for each Philadelphia Eagles football game. My brother-in-law comes over and we make an afternoon of it. After all these years, he now thinks we should do a book "Football Food For Philadelphia Eagles Fans" or something like that. I'd cook and take the photos, and he would bankroll it.

 
I try to attach a theme each week to what I make. This week, in deference to the Eagles' opponent, the Green Bay Packers, I did grilled smoked kielbasa on a toasted bun with spicy brown mustard and topped with saurkraut. On the side, homemade maccaroni and cheese, using Wisconsin (Green Bay IS in Wisconsin) sharp cheedar and fontina cheese. And Philadelphia's own Dock Street beer to wash it down.
 
This is game-day food, JerseyStyle.
 
Alas, it wasn't a good start for my Eagles: Packers 16, Eagles 13.
 
But at least the food was good!
 

Man, now I'm hungry.

I'd buy that book. Nice pic too.

Mark is one of my best friends and I've been to his place for these football food fests. If you think it looks good it tastes even better. You should link to Mark for each Sunday's menu.

This looks like a true ethnic platter. You could tell he is part slovak and part polish.
