HOST THE BEST PREGAME PARTY WITH SOUTHERN LIVINGS THE OFFICIAL SEC TAILGATING COOKBOOK

In many cases, we are fans of our teams long before we were even born, predestined to profess our die hard devotion and fall Saturdays to the excitement and mayhem we lovingly refer to as game day. A time set aside each year to make new friends, catch up with old ones, and reconnect with family members living in other cities and states over slow cooked meats and sauce or large vats of simmering gumbo. 

And I’ll admit it. I can be difficult to stomach during football season but the one thing that unites me with rabid fans from other schools is the promise of good eats on game day. We talk about it. We talk about it some more. And then we actually get down to preparing delicious snacks, libations, sides, main dishes, and desserts that are devoured before, during, and after the smackdown on the field. Some recipes may or may not involve team colors…it simply depends on one’s mood.

Tailgating. It’s become the ultimate family reunion or party across the South and the great thing about it is that everyone’s invited. Whether you’ve made reservations to attend the actual game or not or whether you plan to wheel on to campus or host a houseful of devoted fans in front of the flat screen television, anyone is welcome to participate.
