Cooked the Cup!

At the start of #Euro2024 @GrahamCampbell and I set ourselves the goal of cooking or baking something from every nation playing in the tournament.

Awesome to try so much good food while watching so much good football. All the details are in my #CookTheCup posts.

I gotta say, thank you to everyone who liked, boosted, commented - it's been fun 🥰

Congratulations Spain! 🇪🇸 🥳 🇪🇸

@RuthSalter @GrahamCampbell Gosh, that’s a fantastic idea and it’s even better done! 🤤
@RuthSalter @GrahamCampbell your gulyásleves looks authentic 😀
@fulelo @GrahamCampbell Thank you - we used a Hungarian recipe so I hope it's a reasonable attempt! I didn't know until we did this that proper Gulyásleves is a soup, so that was cool to learn.
@RuthSalter @GrahamCampbell yes, what people call gulyas is what we call pörkölt - just to cause more confusion 😉
@fulelo I'd like to try making that now too!
@RuthSalter send a pic pls if you do - crucial is the good red paprika - it should be a red dish ideally, not a brownish one 😉
@fulelo Will do 😊 Yeah my paprika was a bit underwhelming, we need to get through what we have but then I'll upgrade!
@RuthSalter @GrahamCampbell What did you like best?
@SCampbell Ohhh that's a tough question! I'd probably say either the Bryndzové halušky we made for Slovakia, which was hearty comfort-food, or the risotto we did for Slovenia, which was really bright and summery. I do also love the Portuguese baked salt cod, but we've made that before so I suppose from the perspective of the project the first two were more exciting to try.
@RuthSalter @GrahamCampbell Bravo! I've very much enjoyed it. Keep up the food photos.
@11TopHats @GrahamCampbell Thank you - I've enjoyed talking with you about it! Sort of want to crawl under a rock for a bit now though, I reckon we're gonna make a massive pot of something and re-heat it every night for the next two weeks 😂 Do not know how you manage to make such nice, different food most days!
@RuthSalter @GrahamCampbell Heh, maybe a wise idea. I've no idea why I started the daily photos, but it became a habit on the social media site which must not be named, and then here. I've found it fun and it does lead to some good chats.
@11TopHats @GrahamCampbell Wow, that's a good while! Bet your photo library would make an amazing grid 😱
@RuthSalter @GrahamCampbell My photos are nothing but food and the occasional ginger cat.
