amongst all the doom and gloom of the current cold going around and all the bickering between everyone to have a different type of thread.
My mate and I watch the F1 together, we did the whole season last year together getting trollied, this year we have decided to do the same but adding food.

This is how it works.
Wherever the race is, you cook something from that place, be it a national dish or something you want, it has to be from the race country and on race day, you can include drink to match if you wish, but rose water can be swapped for anything.

You can recommend a dish or what you're thinking of.

This weekend, if it goes ahead, I will be serving up a breakfast of either Castlemaine XXXX or Foster's, with kangaroo buggers and chips.

My wife and I used to do this. Normally ran out of enthusiasm around the Hungarian Grand Prix as we never wanted goulash in mid August!!!

What happens for Monaco? Caviar, truffles, Roast Yacht on a bed of Ferraris... 🙃
Apologies to Monaco, I don't know what their national dish is!

If no races run this season, we're going to have a lot of missing meals!

But in the spirit of this thread... Each year for the USA GP pre show there is loads of focus on burgers and steak etc, so each year we join in with a BBQ cooked feast and a load of Budweiser - which is a terrible beer, but whatever smile

I suppose if the Chinese or Vietnam GP's happen to run a few pet dogs might be in trouble...

Best of luck when we get to Baku.

Azerbaijan is noted for many things. Beer and Cuisine aren't among them. And the beer's Turkish anyway..... EFES - lovely when sat by a pool in July but carbon dioxide laced with weak yeasty ethanol anywhere else!

make sure you specify the right chips though - the aussies reference chips in the American (crisps) and the English sense! As if they thought the English language words didn't yet have enough stupid double meanings!

And yeah we've done this one a few times, does drinking lager in the sun at silverstone count?laugh

Me and a bunch of friends did this for last season, and are doing it again this year.

I was due to be first and had the BBQ and Fosters (i know it isn't Australian) lined up frown

Treat yourself to some Samuel Adams Boston Lager instead.

Swan roasted with a stuffing of 100 Euro notes and sprinkled with a dash of Eastern European hooker.

I've enjoyed chips at Skegness , sorry Zandvoort, gnocchi near Imola and dogburger at Silverstone but I enjoyed (as a spectator, not diner ) the NASCAR offering at Charlotte - a seven pound cheese sandwich . Tragically, my picture won't upload but it included 2 pounds of cheese , 3 pounds of pulled pork and a pound of bacon .

Yee hah...

Well I can confirm that the Kangaroo burgers were a bugger to eat.

Good to see I am not the only one that is doing this or has done this, least it gives some sort of relief to the lack of F1
