THROWBACK! AUSTRALIA- AUSSIE BURGERS

https://worldcupdinners.com/2018/06/16/throwback-australia-aussie-burgers/

Good morning World Cup Dinners fans.

I’m mega excited by the mouth watering weekend of football action that lies ahead with the big guns of Argentina, Germany, and Brazil all making their debuts in the tournament!

What better way to kick off your World Cup weekend than with some real deal Australian style burgers topped with pineapple, beetroot and egg to accompany the Socceroos match against a pretty tasty looking French team!

Check out this 2014 throwback recipe here:

Some of you will remember back in 2014, I undertook a project to make 32 meals from each of the 32 countries participating in the World Cup in Brazil over the course of the 32 days of the tournament.

It was a super-successful campaign which a lot of you on FollowFollow enjoyed at the time. My endeavour was featured on BBC Radio Scotland, in the Sunday Post and Metro newspapers, and also on a number of football fan-blogs.


Now, for the upcoming tournament in Russia 2018, World Cup Dinners is back!

For my second round of World Cup Dinners I will be doing things slightly differently with a mixture of new meals for the 10 news teams who didn’t make it last time round, some throwbacks to previous dinners, and also a few special entries for teams from countries with some of my favourite cuisines.

I'll post my cooking adventures on here day-by-day, so you can all see what I am up to, but you can also check out my website:

Missed this last time - bookmarked it now. Just spent the last while reading your previous escapades and reckon I'll try a fair few of the recipes.

If you can source it, I'd recommend doing something with goat for Morocco. One of the most underrated meats available.

Mrs S (who is French) is loving your work sir!

It looks like a trip to the Peruvian restaurant in London is now on the cards.

Looks great.

If you were doing desserts then I'd go for a Piece Montee /Croquembouche.

We've had a couple made for special occasions at the local Patieserie when in Biarritz. The baker/pastry chef loves making them and doesn't get that many requests.

A pyramid of choux -mmmn!
 
I love shit like this and was enjoying reading the blog until the section about Argentina at which point I launched my phone through the window and will be sending you the bill.

What you got planned for England this time around?

Sounds amazing, thought I'm not much of a choux fan tbh.
When it come to French desserts I can't see past ile flottantes! mmmmm

THROWBACK- BRAZIL- FEIJOADA
https://worldcupdinners.com/2018/06/17/throwback-brazil-feijoada/

It’s throwback time again today, and this time we are going waaaay back to where it all began with the Brazilian national dish of Feijoada!

This was my first ever World Cup Dinner for the 2014 tournament, and I must admit, it is one of my favourites. Nice and savoury with a bit of citrussy flavour coming through.

Why not try making it today to accompany Brazil as they get their tournament off to a start against Switzerland.

THROWBACK- COLUMBIA- BANDEJA PAISA
https://worldcupdinners.com/2018/06/19/throwback-columbia-bandeja-paisa/

Oooft! The shocks keep on coming!

Columbia became the first South American nation to lose to an asian nation at the World Cup, going down to Japan in a upset which saw them a get off to a chaotic start, finding themselves a goal and a man down inside six minutes.

Today’s World Cup dinner is a THROWBACK to one of my favourite Dinners of the 2014 tournament, the fantastic Bandeja Paisa- a platter containing a selection of famous Columbian specialities including polvo (powdered beef) , frijolespaisa, and arepa.

The national dish my favourite!
 
THROWBACK- URUGUAY- CHIVITO

https://worldcupdinners.com/2018/06/20/throwback-uruguay-chivito/
After a subdued opening match where a last minute winner from Gimenez snacked a victory for the Uruguayans, will they rediscover their bite today in this afternoons match against the toothless looking Saudi Arabia?

For today’s World Cup Dinner I am going to re-create one of my favourites from the 2014 tournament the Chivito sandwich.

20140711-231727-83847495.jpg


Fully loaded with sliced steak, mozzarella, tomatoes, mayonnaise, black olives, bacon, fried eggs and ham, even Luis Suarez might struggle to get his gnashers round it!

Highly Recommended to try at home!
