The second annual Llama Big Game party is this Sunday.  I keep getting the same question over and over again from those attending: what do you want me to bring?  I have been giving the customary answer of bring what you want.  It is a tough answer to give.  Really, how do you say, I'll take any donation you are willing to give just so long as it is taco dip, nachos, and anything else that will make my doctor suggest I exercise more (and my bank account happy).  So here is a couple ideas for all those out there wanting to know what to bring to that dish to pass Super Bowl party?

Make sure you get dibs on bringing the taco dip.  You got to make sure you can back up that taco dip that will please the taste buds.  Bad taco dip can just sit there and bring about odors to the room that can only be found in some morgues (then again, eating good taco dip can create that scent as well).  Solid bean dip is needed as well.  In fact, you can never go wrong with any dips or salsa.  It is key to get dibs because you do not want to turn the Super Bowl into a debate over who has the best bean dip.  

That brings me to nachos.  Do you go with the scoops or the large sized nachos?  Tostitos or Manny's?  This can be a major dilemma.  There is the lime flavored Tositos that do go well with the medium salsa.  Then again, there is only so many people that enjoy the lime flavored chips.  One would think it would be easy to please when it comes to a nacho but you would think better.  I say you can't go wrong with Manny's and they didn't pay me to say that.

Chips can always be tricky.  There is so much to choose from, Baked Lays, Regular Lays, Frito Lays.  Just make sure it is a chip that goes well with french onion dip.  Since it is a Super Bowl, anybody that even dreams of bringing in dip that is labeled low fat must sit in the bathroom after the first person is done fighting off the taco dip.   

Frozen pizzas require effort on the host's part.  It can also cause an unforeseen increase in the host's gas bill.  Don't forgot a frozen pizza will take the host's attention away from the game.  Remember the host is being nice enough to make sure the home is properly heated and the television is big enough that Tom Brady's stubble can be seen from the back corner of the room.  I say bring coupons to the nearest Papa Johns.  You can score big points by saying, "I know the delivery driver, so we can get half off."

If your drive happens to pass by a KFC, you are obligated by Super Bowl Party law to bring a spinning bucket of extra crispy.  That rule also applies to Popeye's and Church's Chicken as well.

Bring whatever beer you want to drink but just remember what you do not drink stays in the host's fridge.  There is some collateral damage a hosting a big game party.  Try to make sure the beer is the closest European tasting, American made beer.  You can never go wrong with Miller Lite.  Avoid anything that needs a piece of fruit in it.  Unless the weather is over 70, Corona just does not cut it.  If the attendance is all over 21 and you want a soda, make sure you bring your own case of Pepsi. 

The party involves a grill, it could not hurt to bring an extra propane tank.  You want to make sure that grill stays hot throughout the game in case you stomach calls for that fourth burger. 

Also, Super Bowl Party law mandates if you can make a rocking chili, please bring the recipe and the crock pot.  If it is an ancient family recipe that has been sworn to secrecy for thousands and thousands generations, then you are obligated to make sure the crock pot is filled with that famous chili.

Hope these tips help for those still wondering what to bring to your Super Bowl party.  I always hear bringing Tums and trash bags for the end of the night is a great idea as well
