So I took a little break because of work, study, life etc that took over all of my time. This meant that I also didn’t manage to finish my World Cup of Dinners. This isn’t a problem, the lionesses are playing this summer, so I’ll see what I’ve already covered, see which dinners are outstanding …

Little burgers!
The USA doesn't have an official national dish. As a country so large and so diverse in its population, it is really a melting pot of cultures and 'national dish' varies state to state. Texas claims the chilli as its dish, New York lays claim to the bagel, and Chicago has the deep dish pizza, …
