If you are thinking to yourself “gee, I didn’t think the Amish would be watch or celebrating the Super Bowl,” you are correct. The vast majority of Amish will let Super Bowl Sunday pass without so much as a passing thought of pigskin. The game’s rough and tumble character makes it a tough fit for Amish culture. Baseball is much more loved among the Amish. That said, that doesn’t mean you can’t find some good dips and munchies in Amish kitchens that would be perfect at a Super Bowl party.
Here are several favorite dishes to try as you root on the Eagles and Patriots!
Beanless Bean Dip is a great Super Bowl snack!
