One Tween's Travelogue of World Food: A to Z

After her flirtation with Indian food last week, Olivia has decided we should embark on an international culinary adventure. For the next who-knows-how-long, she plans to work her way from A to Z making a new dish from a different country each week.

(Yeah, she may be small but she sure doesn't think small!)

It's a great chance for the kids (and us... and hopefully you!) to learn more about the world's countries and cuisines. But we could really use some suggestions. What's your favorite Angolan appetizer? Bolivian breakfast? Latvian lunch?

And pleeeeeeeze, give us a good suggestion for an Icelandic dish or she'll intensify her lobbying effort to build a shed out back so we can ferment raw shark for Hakarl!

So, here's a reminder of the countries... leave your suggestions for favorite meals in the comment box. And if you've got a link to a recipe, all the better!

Thanks!
