Well a great evening at BBC Television Centre saw the draw come out as follows:
Helen Graves : Denmark
Andrew Webb: Malta
Eat like a girl : Sweden
Cheese and Biscuits : Finland
tamarind and thyme : Moldova
With knife and folk : Norway & Russia
Dinner Diary : Ukraine & Greece
Tales from the tip : Azerbaijan
Hollow Legs : Lithuania
Ms Marmite Lover : Israel
Around Britain with a Paunch : France & Turkey
Gormet-chick : Bosnia & Herzegovina
Foodrambler : Iceland
Bill : Spain & UK
Nora : Portugal
Sophie : Estonia
Patrick : Romania
Meaning if anyone else fancies joining in, there’s Germany, Albania, Armenia and Croatia still to play for.
UPDATE: Food Urchin : Germany
Thanks for arranging it all Andrew. Good idea. I’ve written a rather sour post about Israel. http://theenglishcaneat.blogspot.com/2009/05/eurovision-food-contest.html

Yup, Albania, Armenia and Croatia – any takers!? Come on we’ve got to complete the full 25!

Currently crowdsourcing some ideas for my personal menu tomorrow night. 25 items of food or drink to be eaten/drunk whilst the relevant song is playing:
