Sven Goran Eriksson has assured staff at Baxter & Platts that Wayne Rooney will be playing in the World Cup in Germany. The bubbly swede made an impromptu stop at one of Baxter & Platt's blue chip sites in West London to launch the caterer's world cup promotion. While he was there, he spoke very positively, if slowly, to Kitchen Rat and was sure that his star player's broken bone in his fourth metatarsal would heal in time.
To celebrate this fact, and England's inevitable march towards glory in Germany under the astute leadership of the swede, Baxter & Platts' chefs have launched a world cup fever promotion for its restaurants. Everyday the chefs will cook a dish to reflect the national cuisine of the one of the 32 national teams playing.
Some tantalising fare on offer then. I'll bet there will be queues outside the doors when the menu cycle moves to Togo, where one of the most popular ingredients is Fofu - sound like Paris Hilton's poodle - but is actually a tasty paste made by boiling yam, then bashing it with a pestle and mortar until it reaches a sticky, slightly resilient texture. Mmmmmmmmmm sounds lovely! Of course, there's always Ukraine to look forward to where diet staples include spuds and bread, just what you want for lunch on a sunny day then!
