World Cup Food and Drink
I had a crazy idea earlier that I could try and eat and drink my way through the 32 nations involved in the World Cup, so I am throwing the floor open to ideas..........

If you have a Flaming Grill pub local then they're doing World Cup themed burgers

During the 2006 World Cup from Germany a pub near where I worked at the time put on free food during the matches with dishes from the 2 countries who were on at the the time.
I still regret not going to any of the matches there. |

What a brilliant idea OP. I will have a think (and look up the teams who are in the World Cup!) and give you some ideas.

For food
http://traveladriatic.com/made-in-cr...10-delicacies/ Apparently Croatians like cured ham. So you could get parma ham or speck as an alternative. |

For Spain you could have some Iberico Ham, and for Italy, some Parma ham.
Away from ham, here are some (very basic) ideas but hopefully you'll find some inpiration in there somewhere: France - coq au vin Spain - Paella or Tapas Mexico - Fajitas, burritos Australia - prawns on a bbq Greece - Kelftiko, spanakopita, dolmades, moussaka Japan - sushi, ramen Italy - pasta, pizza, bruschetta Belgium - fries and mayo USA - burgers Portugal - salted cod, sardines That's all for now, I shall continue to ponder and let you know if I have any more thoughts

Brazil - Feijoada. Pork and black bean stew. It's one of the most minging things I've ever eaten (sorry Brazilians!) but others may like it. Brazilians love it.

Russia - blinis (little pancakes with lots of different fillings) or pierogi
Argentina - barbequed steak with chimichurri sauce (kind of garlicky salsa) Switzerland - fondue, just the thing for summer, or rosti potatoes with bratwurst Netherlands - Thick green pea soup with smoked sausage, another summer classic Iran - Rice Pilaff, kind of like lamb biryani but more elaborate Algeria - Merguez - delicious spicy lamb sausage, couscous Germany - sausage with sauerkraut, fried potatoes South Korea - kim chi, kind of very spicy sauerkraut or live octopus, legs still wiggling (ask your fishmonger) England - steak and kidney pudding, or blandest thing on the menu Colombia and/or Costa Rica - expensive fancy coffee Ghana or Ivory Coast - high cocoa plain chocolate |

Brazil - stroganoff. Their stroganoff is delish. With rice.
Brazil - I dunno what is called but they have these mini chicken pies. Lush. Brazil - Caparinha. Mix Cachaca with fresh lime, sugar and ice. I ordered six bottles of this last year: http://thecocktailgeek.com/review-ve...reiro-cachaca/ |

I like the idea of eating your way round the world (so to speak) for the WC - sounds cool
