There's something about watching a sports event, like the Super Bowl or the World Series or even the Olympics, that makes me think about heading for the snack cupboard. When I do succumb to the temptation to munch, it's usually something quick, like smoked almonds, crackers and hummus, a chili dog with everything on it, chips and dips...you get the idea. So what whets your appetite when you're observing, either outdoors at a game, or inside on a cold February afternoon, watching the competition play out on television? What is your go-to snack and does it vary, season by season, or by sporting event? I'm not too anxious to tuck into a bowl of chili in the winter, but popcorn appears to be yearround in its allure. What's your snack specialty?
