The first day of South Africa’s World Cup presented a dilemma - should I go with one nation’s cuisine, or have a stab at the lot? Pontification resulted in the latter and this is what we had; Tortillas with Nacho Cheese and Guacamole, Boerewors sausages marinated in mango sauce, pork medallions with chilli, (barbecued), salad with orange, mango, walnuts and leaves, tomato provencale, baked potatoes.

Profiteroles with cream followed and the wines were: Uruguayan Sauvignon and South African Pinotage.
