Ideas for a USA Themed Party
Obviously, there's the stars and stripes theme. Getting hold of US flags and red, white and blue bunting is pretty easy. In fact, getting hold of almost anything with a
stars and stripes motif isn't exactly difficult. So the simplest ways to
throw a US themed football party is to get in some
stars and stripes flags, balloons etc,
and sort out a take-away from your favourite burger establishment. Or do some hot dogs. But there are plenty more ideas if you fancy stretching your imagination a little:
- New York Deli theme - freshly brewed coffee, pastrami, salami, bagels...
- US Thanksgiving meal - turkey, sweet potatoes, sweetcorn, pumpkin pie...
- American brunch - fried eggs, bacon, sausages, hash browns, chips, waffles, coffee...
- Just do a huge bowl of chilli with rice or jacket potatoes
- Southern Fried Chicken and chips
