Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or athletically illiterate, Super Bowl Sunday is an event we all look forward to. Who can turn down spending an afternoon with friends and family watching America’s favorite sport? Even if the game doesn’t quite do it for you, the Super Bowl offers plenty of alternative entertainment: hilarious commercials, over-the-top half time shows, and crazy uncles screaming at the TV. Or, if you’re anything like me, the most exciting part of a Super Bowl party is the guaranteed smorgasbord of delicious food.
While the mini hot-dogs and cookies are staple additions to the Super Bowl table, everyone knows that the most important part of the feast is the chips and dip. You can expect the basics: salsa, queso, guac (which, ironically, are not American). These classic dips really never get old. But as chip and dip fanatics ourselves, we couldn’t help but broaden our horizons beyond the classics. We sampled a few dips from around the world (with the exception of one of our favorite American recipes). Some were cheesy, some were spicy, but all of them were incredibly delicious. So if you’re looking to give your Super Bowl party a bit of an international twist, check out these foreign dip recipes:
