The epic fail of Pilgrim’s Pride has the potential to wreak havoc on Super Bowl parties everywhere:

The Dec. 1 Chapter 11 reorganization filing of Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. of Pittsburgh, Texas, has reduced the nation’s wing supply, Buffalo suppliers say.

Add to this the fact that national wing demand this time of year far exceeds that of other times, like chocolates around Valentine’s Day.

The combination has made prices soar, suppliers say.

“Forty pounds (of wings) would be like $85,” Sam Musolino, owner of Sammy’s Pizzeria in nearby Niagara Falls, N.Y., tells WIVB-TV, Buffalo.

Fortunately, our sources have  told us not to worry, the shortages are not widespread, and wings should be available – just expensive.

If you’re still looking for Super Bowl party fare, a few tasty suggestions enjoyed by the LOLFed team:

• Buffalo chicken dip, of which I could eat an entire bowl.
• Poppy seed ham and cheese sandwiches – this is a specialty of Jason’s, and I might not have the recipe quite right but you get the idea.
• Chili spaghetti – a favorite of LoLo.

Or, alternately, we just heard on Bloomberg that Ken Lewis gets to keep his job at BAC, so you could probably safely assume there will be a party at his house, and you could crash that in search of a wing platter. He can probably afford it.
