World cup kicks off in less than an hour wonder what people are doing on the food and drink front this year. I had an Epic plan to have a theme for each night try a few local dishes etc.

However I feel like I have let the side down already and just gone with a stable of Cider, Nacho's and dips for this evening. I guess breaking into the event in a classic way is not so bad but I need to spice it up little for tomorrow and I am looking for ideas.

So if you have any ideas for evening meals, late night snacks for the later games let me know.

I was thinking about a couple of bottles of Corona and chicken wings for tonight.

It might be a month of snacking instead of having a main meal.

I already had some beer and in this heat, fancied something a bit lighter, so I got some Pimms and lemonade too

That food from each country idea sounds interesting.

Maybe throw a bbq with beers from the respective countries, tonight for example, you could have Brahma. Decent Brazilion beer, similar to corona and a Croatian beer, that I can't name because I don't know any Croatian beers

I'm going with a cheese sandwich and a wagon wheel tonight.

I'll post back tomorrow with more.

Apparently Croatians like cured ham.
So you could get parma ham or speck as an alternative.

Considering your fantastic food photos on the food and drink thread you're going to struggle on just snacks!

Depends how many snacks I eat

Im having an ice cold Apple Tango for the 1st match..

People in silly outfits

You must have a large appetite.

With a stable of cider what could ever go wrong?

Staying with the Brazil theme, alcohol and three banded armadillo.

cheap caipirinhas tonight and hopefully some coixinhas too....

All from the exotic location of South london

A wagon Wheel on the first night !!! Crazy. Their is 32 days of this football how are you going to top a wagon wheel. Damn you need to start off slow and build up pace your meals.

Piranha on toast and a glass of chilled Amazon water.

The Bodo fish is even weirder

I have some Innis & Gunn oak aged beer for the first game. Just the one 660 ml bottle. Got some Rich Tea biscuits in too, might have some of them.

Anyone got any of those special edition blue yellow and green m&m's ?

First half snack time. The nacho's took a hammering but mainly during the open 2 hours rather than the game. The cider is going down well but I am starting to feel tried. I will have to go for a half time cup of tea and ham roll !!!

can't wait. I'm having corned beef sarnies when Argentina play.

Oh controversial choice supporting Argentina. Personally I was going to claim the Canary Islands for the UK even tho they are miles away and owned by another country. I am basing this claim on the fact someone from the UK was bound to have been their some time in the past.

I have yet to decide what to go for food wise. I will have to nip out between the 5pm and 8pm matches to obtain a feed for the evening. Likely to go with the Cider still as I have a about 8 bottle left.

Bacardi with Mr Kipling lemon slices tonight.

Tonight is simple..

5pm. Mexico v Cameroon

Chilli for tea followed by , er, coconut macaroons for pud

8pm Spain v Netherlands

A couple of slices of Chorizo with a chunk of Gouda cheese for supper

11pm Chile v Australia

A glass of Chilean Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon red for me, and a Chardonnay for the missus

Last night I made a chocolate and orange swirl cake. Absolutely delicious and a great accompaniment to half a dozen bottles of beer. Two eggs, 145 ml ofwater, 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and the contents of Betty Crocker cake mix. 30 mins in the oven and bingo. Even Geraldine said she liked it. Thanks for listening guys.

Having some salt beef and a few pretzels tonight/later, with a couple of cans
