No. It is not a Super bowl, it is a soupie bowl. That is right. Unique to the area, soupie is an item that is cherished and enjoyed through out the year.
Definition of a soupie according to the Coal Speak dictionary: short for "Soppressatta", which in Southern Italian dialect is pronounced SOO-BRA-SAHD. It's a sausage similar to salami, usually made with pork, lemon peel and spices. Soppressatta means "compressed". Soupies are pig intestines stuffed with meat and spices (like sausage), then tossed into a vat of olive oil and cured. Very popular in Kulpmont. They are called "soupresat" in South Philadelphia. Can also be made with venison.
