McNeil, who claims to be ‘America’s least popular sports commentator’ in his Twitter bio @ReFlog18 sparked the debate by simply tweeting: “What is the most elite Super Bowl food?”
We Americans are a passionate bunch when it comes to opinions on food, so as expected the replies came swiftly rolling in and the discussion heated up.

“Devils on horseback,” stated one follower which seemed to confuse McNeil, who replied with a confused gif stating ‘WHAT?’.
Devils on horseback are a hot appetizer or small savoury dish of dried fruit stuffed with such ingredients as cheese or nuts, wrapped in bacon, prosciutto or pancetta.
The traditional form of the dish is made with a pitted prune and bacon, but dates are also used, usually steeped in brandy or some other liqueur.
Now you know!
“I dump chili, cheese, onions, and Frank’s Red Hot sauce on a Fritos and Pringles Wavy. Then feel hungover 20 minutes later and until about Tuesday. Well worth it,” responded NBA writer Sam Amico.

“The answer is always wings,” responded one adamant football fan. “Wings…hands down!” agreed Victor Nelson.
“The answer is always nachos. Universal understanding of base layer and unlimited topping options,” claimed another hungry football fan.
Another reply contested the claim and put forward their own spicier suggestion: “Jalapeño poppers.”
White Smoke BBQ Texas put their professional opinion into the mix with an entire recipe: “Beer Cheese dip with Smoked Sausage & Chili Peppers.” We have to admit that sounds like a winner to us!
