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 …

Serbia
This dish became an over-dinner favourite. Again I ignored the RAF cookbook, which was soup, in favour of this dish which popped on a few websites as 'must try' Serbian favourite.

Recipe source
Before I launch into everything I'm cooking and eating, I thought I'd share the source for a number of recipes. A few years ago, around 2018/2019 while we were visiting the in-laws, we visited RAF Cosford in Shropshire.
