If you had big plans to stick to your New Year’s Resolution diet, you may slide just a little this Sunday’s big game. Colorado-based Gourmet Meat & Sausage Shop polled its customers to find out what will be served the most this Sunday. 

Here is a list of the most popular foods you will see for Sunday’s big game 2020, according to The Gourmet Meat & Sausage Shop and its customers: 

#1 Chicken Wings. Dry rub sauced up or served naked, you can’t go wrong with this meat staple and our customers agreed. Speaking of rubs, if you need one we are proud to carry award-winning rubs from local businesses such as Big E’s rubs and sauces. 

#2 Dessert.  Whether your team is winning is not, you can celebrate or drown your sorrows in the dessert. While you’re picking up some chicken wings at our store, don’t forget to grab a pie from the Village Pie Maker that you can pop in the oven and bake fresh. 

#3 Sausage.  Are you seeing a theme here? That’s because grilling on Sunday’s big game is a write of passage and grilled, juicy sausage is no exception. Our variety of sausages will blow your mind and take your meat expertise to the next level even if you are a newb to grilling. How about showing up to that Sunday’s big game party with a rattlesnake or rabbit sausage? 

#4 Meatballs.  This staple is a big crowd-pleaser and can be slow-cooked in that crockpot making for easy cooking and transport. We’ve got meatballs rolled and ready to go. 

#5 Ribs.  Whether it’s beef or pork, ribs will put your grilling skills to the test. The general rule is low and slow but even a novice can pull off good ribs. Swing by our store for the right rubs, sauces, and cuts of meat all under one roof. 

Tailgaiting Etiquette Tips Dos and Dont’s

Tailgaiting Etiquette Tips Dos and Dont’s

We are in the midst of football tailgating season and while chowing down on your favorite meats and sausages is strongly encouraged there are some tailgating rules you should be aware of. 

We’ve broken down a list of tailgating dos and don’ts. Don’t say you weren’t warned. 

Bring a camp chair and skip squatting on the lid of a cooler regardless of whether it can hold your weight. This is particularly annoying for anyone that is trying to crack a cold one. Plus, it puts the person just trying to enjoy a beer in a position to apologize for asking you to move your butt out of the way. 

Don’t show up empty-handed. Tailgaiting is a communal experience and showing up with two single beers for yourself or nothing at all is considered a slight. Especially if a decent bottle of booze is passed around. 

If you are grabbing a beer from that cooler be polite and ask if anyone else would want one as well. You know, sandbox rules. 

Bring some decent meats to grill and share and be careful not to bash someone else’s ribs or wings. This is not the time for a grill-off unless that was pre-planned. 

If you have food allergies don’t make a big deal out of it. Just pack up your pre-portioned meal or snacks and casually mention that you have an allergy to XYZ if offered any other foods. If you DON’T have an allergy and someone wants you to sample all the glory of their grilling skills accept a taste gracefully even if you don’t’ like peppers. 

Clean up after yourself and especially if you didn’t put in the hard work of grilling up those meats. That goes a long way to being invited back for more tailgating shenanigans. 

Be nice. Let’s say you were there cheering on the opposing team and they happen to be the visiting team…singing a rendition of Queen’s We Are the Champions is a big NO-NO. Be humble to your hosts. 

Stay with your crew. It’s cool to hop to different tailgates where you know other people but be sure and return to the crew that invited you. 

Safety first. It shouldn’t have to be said but practice safety. After all, you are dealing with Sterno cans and hot coals all mixed in with beer and other spirits. Here is a handy guide on tailgating safety tips. 

Last but not least….don’t forget the bottle opener!
