I've always enjoyed watching and cheering for the Chicago Bears. Some years were tougher than others but all were great fun. Over the years, I've tried a variety of home experiences to assist the Monsters of the Midway but I keep coming back to the menu. Unlike the unwashed jerseys (okay, mine is) or the face paint (mine isn't) or any other superstition, I am convinced the menu is the all important home ingredient.
When I was a kid we always had tamales when we watched the Bears. They were delicious but not very effective in the win column. During the 1985 season I perfected my technique and then, somehow, didn't realize what I'd done. It's all about respecting the other team enough to honor their city by eating the appropriate food and - Wait for it - therefore, taking away their power. This season, I'm going back to the basics.
This blog is all about the recipes that offers respect to the opponents and then, by consuming their power, helps da Bears win, win, win!
Feel free to chime in as we determine the best possible recipe for each week's opponent.
