Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
What's the most important thing to remember about Super Bowl snacks? (And I
know you just didn't answer "health," because no self-respecting football snacker counts
calories during the Super Bowl!) Well, reducing the number of farts induced by your food, of course.
OK, maybe that's not on your mind, but Bill Downs (creator of the "world's first fart blog") says it should be. His advice is to avoid refined foods ("if it's white, it ain't right") and broccoli, eggs and beer (uh-oh). He advises that you start your day with an apple, some oatmeal, or whole grain bread. And drink water.
So what does make a good, low-fart, Super Bowl snack? He doesn't really say, so I'll take a couple of stabs. Maybe a nice layered dip with salsa fresca, avocadoes, and plain yogurt, served with flax-seed tortilla chips? Savory biscotti served with tapenade? Pimiento cheese toasts made with homemade mayo, green olives, and wholegrain country sourdough? Now I'm getting hungry...
