It you ore a college basketball fan, the term "March Madness" is synonymous with great tournament action b\ many fine teams from around the nation. A few years back, Chef Vilmos and 1 compiled an article about tailgating at football games and what you should bring to enjoY the perfect experience. Now, its time to return the favor for all mv college basketball friends who plan on enjoving the games in the comfort of their living room and not a stadium parking lot. There is a special camaraderie shared bv those who partake of football tailgates in parking lots or living room accommodations with a giant screen TV for hoops action. No matter which venue you choose, food is alwavs part of the attraction. 1 lere is your trivia for the month: What arc the top three item* consumed when watching basketball games on TV? Your answer is in the kitchen at the end. Watching TV in your living room will give you a total feeling of comfort and security. In that situation most people will chow down more than a regular meal. So, besides all the junk food you will eat, throw in some healthy choices as well. How about some salad greens with sliced roast chicken or marinated steak tips? Grilled salmon chunks are great with sautéed baby spinach and a light vinaigrette. If your group is not into the real fancy fixings on game day, go with less expensive healthy choices that are sure to please. Besides the main items on your menu, include some healthy munchies rather than potato chips, cheese doodles, or something covered with fake cheese from a jar. It's real simple to provide better food. Keep the method of preparation the same; just change or substitute ingredients. If you're making a veggie dip to go with vour crudites, use yogurt instead of sour cream. Stay away from salt and use various flavoring agents. Garlic or onion powders are great with chili. Hot sauces and mustards are better than fatty mayonnaise for your hoagies and sandwich platters. One last tip: Don't surround yourself with all the food. Keep the food in another room but still within view of the television. Getting up and walking to the food is not the best exercise, but it's better than none at all. Have a great month and enjoy the tournament!
