Olympic Opening Ceremonies

We celebrate everything at the Duffy household.  And those celebrations always include considerable thought about menus!  The Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics is not different. What a better way to try some new ethnic dishes that a celebration of the world's best amateur athletes?


In 2008, we hosted Aunt & Uncle Duffy for the summer Olympic ceremonies.  Daughters #1 and #2 even came up with their own versions of events in which to participate--unfortunately, there was an injury which sidelined those efforts.  We also included a variety of worldly appetizers for all to enjoy throughout the festivities.


With the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympics set to begin on July 27 in London, this is the perfect opportunity for you to host your own party!  Some things to consider offering your guest, as part of a array of tastiness...


sushi (Japan),  crab rangoon (China), Jamiacan patties (Jamiaca), hamburger sliders (USA), bruschetta (Italy), pretzels with beer cheese dip (Germany), fish 'n chips (England), hummus and grilled vegetables (a nod to the place where it all started--Greece).


Of course, use your own creativity and ALWAYS salute your own heritage!  In the Duffy household we will consider Irish soda bread or, one of our personal faves--corned beef sammies!


Whatever you do enjoy and embrace the spirit of the Olympics.
