We are back on the cook off blogs today after a day's rest in Brazil yesterday.
The cook off blogs sees us pitch two teams a day from the World Cup and look at a hypothetical football match between those two nation's national dishes in celebration of the launch of The Sixty6 Unofficial World Cup Cookbook - see www.worldcupcookbook.co.uk for more info.
Today we look at Brazil versus Chile in the first of the knockout games this summer. That means its Feijoada (Bean Stew) against Empadas (Latin American pasties).
The Line Ups - Brazil
Feijoada is a bean stew full of taste however its not as flamboyant as the Brazilian football we have seen over the decades. Let's say if it were a Brazilian footballer it would be a Dunga more than a Zico or Socrates.
The Lines Ups - Chile
A great match up for a national dish to reflect their football team. Empadas are little pasties bursting with flavour as busy on the tongue as the Chilean team are on the pitch.
The Cook Off
Its an intriguing affair full of tenacity from the start, however the energy of the pasties and the steak slices doused in a variety of spices inside the pastry. The bean stew holds its own for a while, with samba rhythm running through it with two lots of beans for good measure.
Yet, the Empadas endless flavours win through in the end, even the cameo appearance of an egg towards full time bamboozling the Brazilians.
Verdict: Brazil 1 Chile 2
Headlines: "Red Hot Chile Pasties"
