You may remember our first Yummy awards ceremony (for those who don’t, you can check it out here).
Now, when we finally posted about our Ivorian trip, has time come for the second ceremony that covers our posts between country #21, Botswana and #40, Ivory Coast.
This time, we have decided to add a new category to the 3 we had last time. We still have our ranking for best meal, for the meal/dish that deserves a second chance and your very own category (Where YOU have the chance to vote for your favorite) on best post, we also added a new category about … the best coat of arms! You know us, we just couldn’t resist.
Is the champagne chilled? OK. We hereby declare the ceremony open!
First category: Best meal
5. Denmark
For the all-in experience, the fantastic hønsesalat, the surprising cheeses and even the disgusting wierd Gammel Dansk.
For the great company, cooking has never been so much fun (thanks again, Clemen’)!
For the spice galore and the (for once) successful creativity.
2. Egypt
Simple, vegetarian, genuine-directly-from-the-street, cheap, yummy!
For the crunchy rice, the oregano flavoured meat, the juicy beans and the merengue tunes!
They didn’t make it to top 5, but we also want to mention Ivory Coast (delicious main course and fabulous hand craft) and the combo of Colombia – Costa Rica (especially the fantastic lime pie from Colombia)
Second category: Deserves a 2nd chance
5. Dominica
We can not really figure out how to make this cake crunchy, and Dominica deserves more than a cake.
4. Brunei
Could have been fantastic, but coconuts does not grow on trees in Sweden.
3. Bulgaria
We felt sick like the Imam and got unlucky with the patatnik.
2. Cyprus
Where we should have known that you can not replace ground beef with quorn, and the importance of sauce abundance.
1. Chile
Where we learned that you can not replace ground beef with quorn. And that it’s not a piece of cake to make a choclo.
Third category: Best Coat of arms
5. Dominica
For its parrots.
4. Burkina Faso
For its classical revolutionary style.
3. Djibouti
For its graphical simplicity and strength.
2. Costa Rica
Once upon a time in a blue ocean far far away…
1. Botswana
Zebras! Rain! Cog wheels!
In this category we also want to mention Ivory Coast because elephants are beautiful and endangered (you can donate here to help protecting them and other threatened species)
Fourth category: Best posts
Here you have the chance to have your say about this blog!
We have selected not less than 9 posts (we couldn’t agree on less!) that we believe are the best, the most interesting, the funniest, the most educative. Here are the links.
Ivory Coast – Scoville scale – Egypt – Dominican Rep. – Salutations – Denmark – Rapa Nui – Chile – Brazil
Use the poll beneath to let us know what you think!
You have until the next Yummy Awards to vote!
If you have ideas for other categories, please let us know! 🙂
[Observant readers might have noticed that we have not yet visited Ecuador. This is due to a misunderstanding and we will visit Quito soon. Ecuador will compete in the next yummy awards]
