This weekend is Superbowl Weekend in the States, when most citizens (regardless of their interest in football) will gather around the television to (a) watch the Pittsburgh Steelers battle it out with the Arizona Cardinals, and (b) gorge themselves on beer, chicken wings, beer, burgers, beer, hot dogs, pizza, beer, nachos and more beer. Typical Superbowl fare is high in fat, low in subtlety, and can be devoured using one hand (the other is reserved at all times for... yes, beer). Wired magazine's Wired Science editors asked America's leading molecular gastronomists (British: Heston Blumenthal) to come up with their own take on Superbowl fare. The resulting recipes including Pizza Pebbles, Puffed Sauerkraut, and Beer Ice Cream With Pretzel Crust, and read more like chemistry lessons than a cookery lesson, but the ingenuity and the accompanying photographs - are much admired by The Gannet.
