I'm starting to think about food for the Super Bowl, when we usually have a few friends over. However, one of our friends is scheduled to have his gall bladder removed shortly after the game, and until then he's trying to eat as little fat as possible. I've been trying to come up with munchie-type food that he might be able to eat without paying a steep price, and so far that list consists of:

*Pretzels

*Veggies

*Salsa

*Baguette

Anyone got some other suggestions?

Thanks,

MelissaH

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

What goes in your wing sauce? Ours is about equal parts Frank's and melted butter, which is definitely out this year. :blink:

The wife is right now recovering from gallbladder removal on Thursday--my word of advice is avoid anything that gets, as another thread has it, the fanny furnace going. Post-operative gas will be extremely painful.

low fat and goes very well with bear:

salted warm or room temp edamame.

(don't know if it's ok for the concerns moopheus pointed out)

"Under the dusty almond trees, ... stalls were set up which sold banana liquor, rolls, blood puddings, chopped fried meat, meat pies, sausage, yucca breads, crullers, buns, corn breads, puff pastes, longanizas, tripes, coconut nougats, rum toddies, along with all sorts of trifles, gewgaws, trinkets, and knickknacks, and cockfights and lottery tickets."

And by the times the Bears make the Superbowl, for all we know Edamame will be availible at your corner 7/11 ;).
