What snack does your state love to chow down on during the Big Game? Google Trends has released a map with the answer to that very question and your state's favorite food may (or may not) surprise you.
The map shows which recipes people are googling in each state showing what people are likely to serve at their party. Chicken is by far the most popular item - no surprise, as an estimated 3.5 billion chicken wings will be consumed on Sunday according to the National Chicken Council.

Chili is America's next favorite with nine states looking for the perfect recipe to wow their guests with. Dip was another item Americans are serving up on Sunday as people in eight states searched for various recipes (by the way, you can't go wrong with a good spinach dip).
In California, Fried Rice was the most popular item for the most populous state in the union, while Idaho stayed true to its tuber roots with potatoes (prepared in a variety of fashions). Some dishes sounded more adventurous than others, such as Nebraska's cream cheese jalapeno hamburger recipe, or Maryland's crab dip recipe. Illinois may be supporting Philadelphia if the increase in searches for Philly cheesesteak recipes is any indication.
