This compilation of 40 Australian footy final snacks to munch on during the big games this weekend and next include recipes for dips and chips, homemade pies and sausage rolls, burgers and fries, fried chicken, and more. Whether you’re looking for recipes for easy snacks and bites, nibbles that are a bit more special or filling dishes to soak up the beers, we’ve got recipes for you.

If you’re staying at home and having family and friends over to watch the Rugby League Semi Finals tonight and tomorrow (go the Parra Eels!), the AFL Final tomorrow, and the big NRL Grand Final next weekend in Australia, why not skip the Four’n Twenty Pies this year and make some delicious homemade snacks instead?

This compilation of Australian footy final snacks to munch on during the games include recipes for homemade pies and sausage rolls, the traditional football snacks that Aussies love to tuck into at the footy. But as our fellow Australians also love their Asian food we’ve also included some alternative footy snacks, such as spicy Thai dips, and a curry.

We’ve also got recipes for dips and chips, burgers and fries, fried chicken, and more, along with a few filling dishes to soak up the booze that can be easily cooked for a crowd ahead of time and reheated at half-time – or during post-game celebrations.

Australian Footy Final Snacks to Munch On During the Game – Dips, Pies, Sausage Rolls

Authentic Hummus Recipe

This authentic hummus recipe is a cinch to make and it’s our top pick of our recipes for Australian football final snacks. There was a period back in the 1990s in Sydney when we were buying hummus, baba ganoush and olive tapenade every weekend. We could have been making them! So easy and much more delicious than store-bought. We always keep cans of chick peas in the pantry for when we’re having friends over or we’re watching a game. It’s fantastic with Terence’s sourdough crackers.

Sourdough Starter Discard Crackers Recipe

If you’re a sourdough baker who is discarding starter every day, then here’s something to do with it: make these crispy crackers tonight. Triangular in shape, they’re perfect for scooping up dips. They’re also the easiest crackers you’ll ever make, so should inspire you to try more sourdough starter discard recipes if you’re not already making them. This is another one of our top recipes for Australian footy final snacks as these crackers go with so many dips.

Easy Olive Tapenade Recipe

This olive tapenade recipe is based on the traditional French tapenade recipe from Provence that’s made with four ingredients – black olives, capers, anchovies, and olive oil – and it can be made in a minutes. It’s a quintessentially Mediterranean olive spread, which is why I try to use juicy olives from Kalamata, briny capers from Pantelleria, Ortiz salted anchovies (if I can get them), and a grassy extra virgin olive oil from Spain. Serve with toasted baguette slices, crostini or cheese straws.

This authentic Mexican guacamole recipe makes a genuine Mexican guacamole that’s made table-side at good restaurants in Mexico. It’s all about the creamy luscious texture, bright green colour and full flavour of perfectly ripe avocados.

These homemade curried beef sausage rolls are filled with rich Cambodian Saraman curry, which is a cousin to the Thai Massaman curry and Malaysia’s Beef Rendang – all complex and slow-cooked curries.

  1. Lara & Terrence, I never leave comments on blogs but this is such a great list! I was searching for nibbles to make tomorrow. Never thought to make a chicken curry or a chilli but that’s brilliant. Not only cause a big pot can “bubble away” and get even better longer it’s left as you say but it will soak up the booze! Maybe our guests will leave earlier than usual LOL! Brilliant! Going to make your Cambodian curry. I’ve signed up to your newsletter also. Thank you! M

  2. Hello Maureen, so pleased the list inspired you to leave a comment :) I reckon a curry and rice, especially if you have a rice cooker and can make loads of the stuff, is perfect for the end of a footy gathering. If you have time to cook and you know your guests are lovers of Asian food, I’d also suggest making big batches of a couple of the Southeast Asian dips and a heap of spring rolls, which are super easy, for the first half. Then try one of the Cambodian sausage rolls for the last half. Then once the game is over, feed everyone the curry and rice during game celebrations/commiserations. Or just go with the curry and rice! We hope to get a newsletter out next week. Thanks for dropping by! :)
