61 per cent of Americans will be tucking in to chips and dip during tonight's Super Bowl, according to a survey.

Courtyard by Marriott, the Official Hotel Sponsor of the NFL, commissioned a survey into what party-goers will be choosing to eat when Super Bowl XLVI kicks off this evening.

The New England Patriots take on the New York Giants tonight at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana (kick-off 6.25pm ET/11.25pm GMT), and according to the survey conducted by Toluna, the majority of Americans will make chips and dip their Super Bowl Sunday food of choice.

Other favourites include pizza (55 per cent), nachos (41 per cent), sandwiches (38 per cent), barbecue (37 per cent), fried finger foods (35 per cent) and burgers (32 per cent).

28 per cent named vegetables or other options.

The survey of 1,053 American adults also revealed that 29 per cent of Americans watching the Super Bowl will catch tonight's game at a family member or friend’s house.
