The excitement is steadily building. Are we headed for the same winner here as in South Africa? Will the love of raw fish triumph over a meaty savoury custard? Who will emerge victorious in the slow cooked mediterannean head to head?
For these and answers to all the other mindless questions that have been invading your headspace this week stay tuned as Beer’n'Bites (thanks Injera!) plunges head first into the Semi Finals. Don’t forget, you only have 24 hours to vote before the finalists are revealed.
Semi Final One – Japan vs South Africa
Can you picture yourself sipping on a Sapporo, that fine lager with a refreshing flavour and moderately light body whilst you select a piece of sushi – perfectly vinegared rice topped with just-out-of-the-sea-fresh seafood…
… or are you more likely to reach for seconds if you are given a full flavoured and thirst quenching Castle Lager and some pleasingly spiced, slightly sweet Bobotie?

Semi Final Tw0 – France vs Spain
Which sends you closer to food heaven? Cassoulet’s depth of flavour from slow cooked beans, garlicky Toulouse sausages and rich tomato washed down with the crisp slightly bitter pilsner that is Kronenbourg…
… or perhaps you prefer the smooth taste of Mahou and like scraping the crust on the bottom of the paelleria, enjoying the slightly smoky grains of rice, swollen with stock and scented with saffron? _
