For anyone having a Super Bowl party or just having food and watching the Super Bowl, what are you doing? This is what we are doing, my family and in-laws and BIL/SIL:

—Cheesesteaks on Corropolese* rolls
On side put on as you want:
Fried onions
Provolone cheese
American cheese
Sliced hot cherry peppers
Tomato sauce

—Corropolese* Tomato Pie
Tomato Pie is served cold, more like a Focchia with sauce and some grated Parmesan cheese. If you grew up with it, you’ll love it, if you don’t come from the area, you usually do not like it.

—Philly Pretzel Factory pretzel bites with Beer Cheese

—Mr. Ron’s Coleslaw*

* Corropolese is an Italian Bakery in Norristown, PA about 15 miles from Philly. They’re famous for their Tomato Pie which is a very Norristown area thing, it’s even looked at kind of funny in Philly. Mr. Ron’s was a very beloved restaurant in the area for years, gone now but Corropolese makes their famous delicious sweet coleslaw.

And to finish it all off, I am once again making my giant 12” Peanut Butter Kandy Kake which is vanilla cake covered with peanut butter and chocolate, a take off of a TastyKake PB KandyKake which is a bite sized version snack cake:

It brought us luck last time in 2018 and I’m counting on it to bring us luck again!

Crabby snacks and homemades of course

Throughout the movie, Dolores (Jacki Weaver) announces to her family and visiting friends that she has made "crabby snacks and homemades" for them to eat while watching football. Many critics and viewers outside of the Philadelphia area assumed this was some sort of term for a Philadelphia Eagles food tradition, but most Philadelphia-area viewers were just as mystified by the term as everyone else. Weaver herself, in a November 2012 New York Magazine interview, admitted that she couldn't remember what the term meant, although she had known at the time of shooting the movie. Finally, the Philadelphia Daily News reported that "crabby snacks" are a canapé that Doreen Quick (mother of Matthew Quick who wrote this story) used to make for game days and other gatherings. The recipe consists of canned crabmeat and processed cheese cooked together and spread onto English muffins, and cut into quarters. "Homemades" are beef rolls covered with bread crumbs and simmered in tomato sauce.
