It is the third in the series of the "cook off" blogs coinciding with the Sixty6 Unofficial World Cup Cookbook, where we take a look at the culinary dishes of Honduras and Switzerland as they gear up to face each other in the final match of their group.
If your new to the blog then basically we take a look at a game each day from the World Cup and run a match report through the eyes of those nation's national dishes. Today we have Carne Asade for the Hondurans and the classic cheese favourite - Fondue - from the Alps.
The recipes are available from http://www.worldcupcookbook.co.uk/apps/webstore/products/show/4984730 or https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/448943
The Line Ups - Honduras
Carne Asade for those not in the know is a simple dish of thinly grilled marinated strips of beef, usually then served in tacos or burritos, so a central American version of typical matchday food. Its often a spicy affair, just like the football team so far this tournament.
The Line Ups - The Swiss
Fondue is well known around the globe so much so, folk living on the edge have even been known to throw Fondue parties! A pot of melted Swiss cheese, with a dash of Kirsch thrown in for good measure, has been pleasuring skiers up the mountains on and off the piste for years.
The Cook Off
This match is a hard one to call as both dishes begin strongly. The spicy strips of beef stand off the oozing melting pit of cheese at the start out of respect, however they soon proceed to take on this bubbling mixture of a cheese lovers paradise.
The shot of Kirsch equalises the spicy nature of the Jalepeno marinade, however the robustness of the beef soon overpowers the cheese, despite the attention of a midfield of bread bits, guarding the melting pot.
The Honduran dish is backed by its own army of stodge though, with a taco shell formation designed to win the game as the Swiss runny cheese...well runs out of ideas.
Verdict: 2-1 win to Honduras
Headlines: "Carne we do it? Yes we Carne, as Swiss go off piste"
