Starting tomorrow, over 200 nations will be participating in the 2012 Olympics in London. If you won't be attending the games in London, then throw an Olympics viewing party with dishes from around the world. I love the Olympics because for the most part, the competition between countries is friendly. But when it comes to food, there's no competition - I'm a fan of them all! We've compiled a list of appetizers, mains, desserts and even cocktails from all around the world. Try mixing and matching dishes from your favourite countries (or athletes) for an international feast.
Let the games begin!
