harryhawk Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'm still close to my mates that i grew up and went to school with. We're all between 30 and 40 years old, Married or settled down with kids. Now heres the question....Every 1 to 2 months we all get together around a chosen couples house (now i know what most of you are thinking) and have a INTERNATIONAL night. A country has been picked and local dishes, foods and drinks from that place are brought and a good drunken night is had by all.(Quiz, silly party games, drunken darts) Any ideas to put in the hat for the next one. Saturday's is BELGIUM (beer and chocolates) So far we have had.... Australia x2 Belgium Brazil Chile China x2 Egypt England Falkland Islands France Germany Greece India x2 Indonesia Iran (last one at our house before Xmas) Israel Italy Jamaica Mexico (the best yet, 31st oct 05 at ours, day of the dead feast and fancy dress) South Africa Spain Thailand Turkey United States. You guys must of tried tasty food on your journeys around the globe. Cheers Harry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEFTY478 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 How about England? You could all dress up as Urban Street Snipers, and have an arguement about turf! Also, depending upon how friendly you all are, you couuld always chuck some keys into a hat and help to create some new "babymothers".

JohnGalway Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 You could have mussels for starter and Irish stew for main for an Irish night. Stew isn't fancy food but done right it's as good as it gets. We don't drink much (more than your average Russian alcoholic) over here... really... we don't... *ahem* but I've heard there are a number of Irish drinks to chose from Nevermind Belgium, have the Irish do this weekend when the rugby is on and be on the winning side (sorry, couldn't resist) Since I mentioned them above you could have a Russian night too, be close to a hospital though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I see you list "Falkland Islands" - leave a window open and supply your neighbours with fray bentos pies and corned beef and have them climb in through the open window. Then all arrive in boats instead of cars, kick them out and then eat ration packs and hoist flags for the evening ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 How about an American (Native Indian) night? Has to be some Historical and cultural value to that LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Have a Geordie evening! Start drinking about 11am, continue drinking heavily all day and into the evening. As soon as it gets cold find the least insulating clothes possible and change into them, and move into the garden. At 11pm get the hottest curry you can find and then start a huge fight!

Yeah and DON'T forget the Bogroll on ICE for the morning after How about a YMCA night? Then you can all dress as Indians / Firemen / Cowboys in Chaps etc and do a Congo to Agadoo into the early hours LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancs Lad Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 japan. South African................ And try this for size........ Loads of nice lamb, loads of onions, loads of tomatoes, some Archar Massala, Brown Sugar, tomatoe puree. Slice your onions and start to sweat them down in a BIG PAN......when making it I use a bag of em......say about 7 or 10 depending on the size.... Add in the Archar Massala, bear in mind that the more you add, the hotter it will be. Brown off your meat.............(you can also put the lamb in the pan if you fancy.... ) Chop your tommatoes, into the pan they go..........again loads of em....bung in a couple of tins of plum tommies aswell... Whole tube of tommy puree. Get the brown sugar out, this sauce should be "warm and sweet" Lid on.......... Temp down........................cook slow and low for about 3 hours....... Serve it up with some nice rice and peas....job done..............LUUURRVVVEEELLLY. Washed down with lashings and lashings of ginger beer -------------------------and jackdaniels......

pin Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Sensible idea for once, since you have done a load of countries, how about doing them again but this time travel back in time 1000 years - a la Ray and Gordon's wild food?

harryhawk Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Well guys, good party was had. plenty of beef stews, 3x mussel dishes and loads of chocolate. I put Ireland in the hat again but the winner was............U.S. of A. Thinking i might do a southern fried squirrel or squirrel stew. Favorite of Elvis no less. At least the couple who are hosting the next party, she's from the states so should be a good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
