With the Super Bowl just around the corner, many people’s willpower starts to diminish. Fried, battered and cheesy snacks are a go-to for game days. Chicken wings and pizza are of course fan favourites, but what about the vegans? If that’s you, or if you’ll be hosting some vegan friends this Sunday, here are some drool-worthy game day snacks that even meat-eaters will like.

Warm, tasty, and completely meat-free (despite the name). We recommend grabbing the Field Roast Mexican Chipotle sausages for a lil extra spice. If you’re not into spicy foods, don’t worry, Field Roast has got you covered with other delicious plant-based sausages. You can even melt a bit of vegan cheddar for dipping. The ultimate comfort food!
