Food!! and skating

[desertskates]

There was a little chat in another thread about food to enjoy as we watch our favorite competitions. I did a theme menu for myself for the first time during the GPF with Iberico ham and Manchego cheese croquettes, and it was a lot of fun. Now we have tons of national competitions coming up, and many possibilities for skating snack menus.
Does anyone else like to do theme foods to honor a country or a skater's program?
Please share any ideas or recipes

Digression: seems that Fernandez received a plushy version of Serrano ham as a gift at the GPF.

Sorry for going off topic, but the idea of it struck my funny bone (which BTW is a phrase that belongs in the thread for things people used to say ).

It seems appropriate to me. If anyone likes to ham it up, it's Javi!

Check out the second meaning of ham , if this is an antique usage:

Sure, that works in English, but I doubt that Spanish has an equivalent translation for the word ham. Nice try though

(And I'm old enough to remember the radio kind of ham)

I would like to order a plate of chef Daisuke Murakami's "salmon and scallops on a skewer with a hint of teriyaki sauce," please.

For an entire competition? Lots of coffee & I usually will eat a whole box of this one particular assortment of mini cookies (it has choc, choc chip, sugar, & peanut butter) throughout all 8 events

eta: that's about 5-6 cookies an event, it sounds like a lot, but somehow the box goes so fast

I never thought of it before, but blinis would be nice for Russian Nationals! And some vodka to kill my nerves

I sooo wanted to do pelmeni for Russian nationals, but I'll be in a hotel over Christmas and spending the day with family. So no Russian food and sneaking off with an Ipad to watch for me At least vodka goes everywhere

And Dai's meal isn't looking too shabby!
